This week the fifth grade works on Christmas room decorations and a dancing Santa. A committee of Roy Laura and Diane decorated the room. Perfect spelling scores went to Benny Kehe Marlys Kelsey Kathy Aubrey Joyce Bull and Mary Jean Thies as they aim for a gold star. Science tests use soil from Michael and Virgil with litmus paper Sheryl provided to classify acidity. Leaf vein charts show parallel and irregular patterns. A committee of Kathy Benny and Judy prepares a soil conservation poster. Social studies groups study states and capitals, starting with six New England and seven Middle Atlantic states, then moving to the Southern states. Each student has a map marking state locations. Arithmetic focuses on fractions using paper cutouts. Absent days due to sickness are noted with hope for quick return.
