the bakery which we enjoyed.
All the different processes in
the making of bread were
shown to us.
While studying about foods,
Mrs. Edith Arnold's second
grade made butter, a good eat
ing wheel and menus for one
day's eating. We also visited
Fluhrer's Bakery where we
haw how bread is made. When
we were at the bakery, some
twinloaves of their home made
bread came out of the oven.
We have learned what an
experiment is. We are experi

ing plants.

In spelling class we have

well we are doing in our Fri
day tests. An A grade gets a
gold star, B's get a blue star
and C's get a red star. We are
all trying to get gold stars.
In social studies we have
lust finished a unit on Indians.
We studied about Indians who
lived in different parts of the
United States. We learned
how they differed in living
habits, food habits, and in
kinds of homes. We also stud
led about the Indians in Ore
gon. Now we are learning
about the early pioneers in
the Oregon country.
In art class we cut stencils
for spring flowers. We used
these stencils to make a
bouquet with crayons on art
paper. Then we covered the
flowers with water color
wash. We have also done fin-gerpainting.
Mrs. Judith Huck'i fifth
grade has a new teacher for
the rest of the year, Mrs. Car
