Porterdale School Speaks
Mim Thompson's Second Grade
We have been in the Second
Grade for three weeks. It was
so hoi the first two weeks to
do much work. Most of us have
our Reading and Arithmetic
Workbooks. We are going to
take the Weekly Reader, too.
There are seventeen girls
and seven boys in our room.
We enjoy our science per
iod. Last week, we did an ex
periment that helped us to un
derstand what makes day and
night. Patsy Dickson brought
a flashlight to use for the sun
and the globe was used for
the earth. We used a piece of
ehalk to mark where we live.
We darkened the room and
then turned the globe around.
We found out that only one
half of the earth is lighted by
the sun at one time. The ex
periment showed us how the
earth turns. The sun only

seems to move. We have found
out that the sun is a star and
many other interesting things
about it.
Our P-TA meeting was last
Thursday night. Many of our
parents work at night and
could not come. We had “Open
House’’ after the meeting.
Next week is “Fair Week"
in Newton County, and of
course, all of us want to go.
Miss Louise Reeves, Director
of Curriculum for Newton
County Schools, visited many
rooms on Monday, September
19, and delighted the children
by her visit. They wish she
will come often.
Miss Ramsey s Sixth Grade
Our second week of school
is one we shall remember be
cause Miss Ramsey read us a
pray on Lunchroom Manners,
and we decided to take the
different parts and act it out
and then record it on tape.
Some of us had never heard
our voices on the tape recor
der, and we really were sur
prised to hear how we sound
ed to other people. The char
acters in the play are Good
Manners, Good Eating, Quiet
Eating, Knife, Fork, Spoon,
Napkin, and a group of girls
and boys. The boys decided
that they would always let the
girls go first to the lunchroom
and then help them be seated
at the table as well as hold
their chairs when they got up
after the meal. Our hostess
has been a great deal of help
to us. too. for we watch her
for directions
Mrs. Daniel. Charlotte’s
mother, visited our room on
Monday morning. We showed
her how we were enjoying our
new arithmetic books and the
way we could write numbers.
We also told her about oth^r
things we were doing. We
like to have visitors at our
room any time
On Friday, Miss Sara Gor
don and Mrs. James Hardman
from the Newton County De
partment of Public Health
came to our room and tested
ears of all pupils. We learned
that some of us need to go *o
a doctor for further tests, and
some of us needed to sit nearer
the front of the room in or
der to hear better. We enjoy
ed having them and appreci
ated what they did for us. W;
are looking forward to having
Mrs. Hardman come every
week and help us with health
problems.
Monday. September 12, was
a big day in many ways. Mrs.
Boswell and Mr. Moss from
the State Department of Edu
cation talked to us and gave
us oral tests. We really had
fun with them for they stayed
two days and were our guests
in the lunchroom on Tuesday.
They ate with Miss Tanner,
Miss Ramsey, and Miss Clara
Mae Hays on Monday.
That same day, we had our
first TV lesson in the room.
Miss Hays and Miss Louise
Reeves joined us for this hap ■
pv period when we learned all
about sound, touch, taste, sight,
and smell. We really learned
new things about this world
we live in and feel mighty
lucky to be the first school in
our county to have television
sets.
We had Music lessons on TV
on Tuesday and Wednesday. In
the first lesson we learned
“Hot Cross Buns” so well that
we heard boys and girls hum
ming the catchy tune long af
ter the program ended. The
second lesson taught us about
moods. The teacher played dif
ferent songs and marches to
explain what she meant.
Herschel Stokes made an
eggshell picture which he
showed to us and explained
how he did it. We can hardly
wait to try our hands with
such a project. We are already
enjoying many art activities
such as carving, weaving on
screen wire and plastic straws,
and drawing. One afternoon,
we went and sat on the grass
to draw what we saw around
us. For P-TA last week,
we made booklets in which we
( put some of our work for our
visitors to see.
We were disappointed that
so many of our parents could
not attend the P-TA meeting
and see our attractive room.
We heard they had a big crowd
and good program. Our offi
cers met the guests in our
room and gave them a guided
tour.
The girls are really beating
the boys in attendance. Theirs
is perfect while the boys have
chalked up five absences al
ready. The boys are not giv
ing up however, as they have
another week in this month.
Mr. Crowell came by on
Friday and brought us a ball
and bat for girls and boys. We
are thrilled about the new
volley ball he gave us and are
anxious to get the net ready
to begin playing.
1 Our second lesson in science
was on Time. We found that
we had some ways of telling
time right in our room. Others
said that they would bring
some time pieces from home
’ and share with the class. We
heard the history of how time
[ is measured while pictures ex
-1 plained it to us.
