Phoenix Grade School
Mrs. Jane Germers' first
graders have been reading
about rockets and satellites
in their weeky reader. We
have learned that rockets
carry the satellites into space.
Also, there are many kinds
of rockets. We saw a picture
of the X-15, which is a rocket
plane. Each child drew a pic
ture of a rocket or a satellite.
The boys and girls have been
reading library books for our
book club. We received two
new books, "A Big Ball of
String," and "The Little
Lion." We are working on
addition facts and learning
the days of the week.
The children in Mrs. Annie
Gertsons" room are studying
a unit on the farm and corre
lating it with our reading
program by using pictures,
writing, art work and per
sonal experiences. S h e r i
Payne has the mumps this
week. D e b r a Stockburgor
brought a honeycomb to
school Thursday, it had some
honey in it. We have a new
girl in our room, Ellen Pfoff
from Perryton, Tex.
Rhonda Sanders and Ray
mond Ayers are two new stu
dents in Mrs. Alice Swingles'
room. With the prize money
we received from having the
most parents present at the
last Parent-Teachers associa
tion meeting we bought a
hand puppet, his name is
"Witty the Owl." He helps
us when we do phonics.
Mrs. Fern Walker's second
graders are studying electric
ity. They were interested in
knowing that a current of
electricity is kept moving by
electrons being pushed out of
the atoms. For an art project,
appropriate to the season, the
children will be making some
Dr. Seuss animals out of red
paper hearts, put on a white
background.
In our study of weather in
Mr r.ertrude Wooten's room,
we have been watching for
signs of spring. We are try
ing to accumulate enough ma
terials for a bulletin board on
the subject. So far, one pair
nf hlne birds has been sighted
We have some pussy willows
in our room and some cat
kins from a nut tree: We are
looking for some jasmine. We
have discussed me iaci mov
the days are getting longer.
Mrs. Allene Bessonette's
third grade students are plan
ning murals to illustrate stor
ies from their readers.
Through the courtesy of Mark
Wilson our room was hosts
to a family of Muo Musculus.
The family consisted of the
mother and six nursing in
fants. Study of these animals
consisted of observation and
a question and answer period
conducted by their owner.
t m, i ..hMr Scott's third
erade room the children made
boats, cars, birds, animals and
nih thlnes of modeling clay
this week. For free play the
boys have a game called 50"
football. One boy kicks and
nil the others try to catch the
ball for scores. When one
ann he is the kicker.
The seven girls in the room
are bringing their do' to
school. For science we are
learning about the moon and
the stars. Lonnie Harris rode
on the moon, which was a
chair with rollers. A big can
nn the floor was the earth,
j T aurine Anderson was
the sun. Mrs. Scott pushed
the moon around the earth to
show how the sun's light
shines on the moon to make
a full moon, half moon, the
arior; and a new moon
We also talked about rockets
to the moon.
In Martha Brown's third
grade we have been learning
to write personal letters. We
wrote letters to our parents

Teachers association. In social
studies we have been learn-

ing how to be safe, and happy.
We acted out ways accidents
between cars and bicycles can
nappen. This month our Read
ing Tree is growing hearts,
one for each book we read.
Melinda Burrell, Vicki Rag
land, and Andrea Nikodym
each had over ten Autumn
leaves for library books read
last six weeks. Mrs. Brown
read "Many Moons" to us. We
are glad so many of us bought
tickets to the play. For art
we made crayon scribbles
which we covered with black
ink and had surprise colors
for our schatch design. Come
and see our art gallery.
The science class in Mrs.
Zuba Stacks room did an ex
periment by balancing a yard
stick on a small board ex
tending over the edge of a
table, an empty rubber bal
loon was added at one end,
and one filled with air at the
other. It was decided and
proved that air does have
weight. Other experiments
were done to show that air
has pressure. We also proved
that fire will not burn with
out air, by placing a glass
jar over a lighted candle and
watching the result.
Mrs. Ardis Pramann's
fourth grade was pleased to
find that this weeks S'. nd-
ard School Broadcast was
about Egypt and the Nile
river. We have been studying
about this great oasis in Af
rica, and making large pic
tures of desert life. We have
found many stories about
desert people, and decided to
make a play about one story.

Bridge, Road Bonds To Be Separated
Salem-IUPn-The House High
ways Committee Tuesday or
dered amendments to make a
proposed S24 million Astoria
Mcgler bridge and a proposed
$4 million bond issue for

would "pass or fail on its own
merits."

years ago. They remained re
lated in measures introduced
this session one to clear the
way for the bridge, the other
to "unfreeze" $4 million for
Highway 42 by deleting a
matching fund requirement.
