News of the Schools

ELEMENTARY FIRST GRADE NEWS Mrs. Bevis Hill The class has been watching its pictures going up in the hall. It is surprising the improvements which are shown in one year of art. This exhibit gives a chance to show parents and other interested patrons the art abilities within each class unit. Last week the Achievement Tests took the center of attention Most of the boys and girls were present but Debbie Ringler missed both days and Kim Mil-

ler and Roger Wiggs were sick on one day. Both the school and the home are. proud of the achievement revealed on these tests, in the first grade. It is especially gratifying since absences mounted higher than usual this year. Spelling has become an accept, ed part of the week's schedule. Several have taken on longer words and have added many words to their spelling list on their own volition. Classmates' names are the most fun to learn to spell. The time for “sharing” has become more fun since the birds, flowers, leaves and grass are changing colors. FIFTH GRADE NEWS Mrs. Arthur Morris We are glad to welcome Janice Busscrer to the fifth grade.

Janice came from Zeeland, Michigan on April 27. April 9 there was a Science Fair at the High School Gymnasium. Mrs. Morris told the class that if any one wanted to enter an exhibit he would have to be responsible for his own entry. Alan Etes entered Floating Needles and won 2nd prize for the sth grade. The class is very proud of him. April 25 the Elementary Choir and Mrs. Ditmer. director, went to Bristol to sing for grades 1-6 Mr. Speer drove the bus. The following members are from Mrs. Morris' room: Cinda Singrey, Rusch Mauzy. and Cindy Felts. About a month ago the class was studying about the Civil War Tim Connolly said he would bring abuot 150 soldiers both of the Union and the Confederacy. It also had trees, big rocks, and tents. It was an interesting set. April 26 for English, business letters were written to different companies for free information about people, places, and things. Company names came from files of Mr. Immel. the school superintendent. Several pupils have already received some letters and booklets. May 19 is an exciting day for fifth and sixth graders. It is field day and somewhat like a track meet. The events are board jump, high jump, 440 and 880 relays. 100 yd. dash. 220 yd. dash, pole vault, softball throw, standing still broad jump and shot put. Each pupil can take 3 events which he can do best. Parents are invited to watch the field day events. May 5 the class had a birthday parts' for Mrs. Morris. There were cupcakes, cookies, root , beer to

drink, and a big birthday cake foY Mrs. Morris. Mrs. Claybaugh brought ice cream and helped with the party. Everyone brought some money to buy a gift for Mrs. Morris. The following was written by Dennis Ringler, one of our pupils: Teachers Are Wonderful What would we do without teachers? How would we learn to read and write? If it weren’t for teachers Wouldn't it be a fright? There are so many things To thank teachers for. We couldn't even learn About God or things that are agairist the law. Some teachers are bad Some teachers are good. The teacher I have now isn’t bad But she is good. News items this time were furnished by Bitsie Hall, Cindy Singrey, Dennis Ringler and Mrs. Morris. THIRD NEWS Mrs. Leo Kowallik In the recent Third grade Spelling Contest, the room was represented by Linda Byler, Mike ley. Donna Hulley, and Carol Coy. Vicki Cramar. Nancy FawKroh with Jenny Thornburg. Betty Wright, and Amy Coy as alternates. We were proud that Nancy won second place because difficult words were pronounced at the close of the contest. Last week the class enjoyed the German opera Hansel, and Gretel through a filmstrip projection and recording. English sub-titles were given for the film but the singing was in German. Several students have shared German records and books with us this term. Nancy Fawley, Donna Hulley. Carol Kroh. Gary Firestone. and Steven Yoder participated in the German speaking demonstration for the Syracuse Classroom Teachers Association meeting. Jenny Thronburg was chosen to be president jof the Book Club for the last six-weeks period. Gary’ Firestone was elected to record the reports on the chart.
