FIFTH GRADE NOTES
By Jacob Jackson and Peter Sulkey
We have a new globe in our school room. It hangs
from the ceiling. It is a very good one.
Mrs. Middleton has a new clock on her desk.
Jacob Jackson has a new pair of pants for Easter.
We have twenty books from the Salem State Li
brary in our room. We like to read them in our spare
time.
We boys are glad to hear that Mr. VosBurgh is
better and will soon be home.
Our class began the study of Asia this week. We
found out by the globe that Asia stretches half way
around the earth. And another thing we found out
is that Indians came from that country to Alaska.
We hope we will have lots of eggs to eat on Easter
Morning.
