WITH THE PRIMARY GRADES OF EAST SCHOOL MlAs Plonk ? Grade 1 During the month of Novtember we have been busy learning poems, prayers, singing songs and telling stories about being thankful. The children talked a bout what they weie thankful for, SELL IT THRU THE HERALD WANT ADS and how they could share with others. Thte day after the rain each child made a picture of what he or she was thankful for. Most of them had rain in their pic tures. Last Wednesday morning the children had a pleasant surprise. Mrs. Gladden, one of our Grade Mothers, came bringing a fruit showter. They were not expecting a Grade Mother. They had been thinking of sharing rather than getting. Nevertheless, they were delighted and' enjoyed it. Mrs. Logan ? Grade 1 November was a happy month for us. We learned prayers, poems, Songs and read many stories about kindness and shar ing with others. Out of this de veloped the idea of a Thanksgiv ing basket for someone less for tunate than Wte. Our Grade Mothers, Mrs. War ren Ellison, Mrs. Warren Rey nolds, and Mrs. James Dover had expressed a desire to do some thing for Thanksgiving that would be of more lasting plea sure than a ?arty. They invited us to go to Logan's Rtecord Shop to listen to records. After listening to many good records, they bought us some Christmas re cords and a Bozo Record Reader. We are looking forward to many hours of pleasant listening as well as many pleasant experiences of sharing our records with children of other rooms. Mrs. Hughes ? Grade 2 The second grade has been studying the migration of birds. What causes the birds to travel from one pjace to anothter to live? The Artie Tern and Bobolink tra vel along the Atlantic Coast route. Some choose the Mississip pi River route. At one time peo ple thought birds flew to the moon went in the mvd with frogs during thfe winter season. Bird Banding has taught us many things about the habits of birds. We have learned a great deal about birds Irom the books In our library which we are learning to use. Mrs. Lackey ? Grades 2 and 3 We have been having a science experiment relating to the eva poration of water. We filled sev eral kinds of containers ? a flat dish, an empty paint Jar, and a milk bottle with water. The chil dren watched very closely to see which container was losing water more quickly. A discussion follow ed to find thfe reason for this. We are studying about weath er too. We have made a weather vane to use in seeing In what di rection the wind is blowing. They have made a daily weathfer chart, too. The children like to check the temperature each day and keep their' chart checked. My boys and girls were able to sbcure thermometers for each grade. They are very nice ones. Miss Blanton ? Grade 3 We have been learning about Indians. Through use of our li brary books we have found out many things about their food, clothing, and homes. For our science project during Most of our deciduous shrubs and trees have now lost their leaves and have become dormant. Thfe most common question that now arises Is ? "When must I prune my fruit trees, or when must I prune my shrubs?" There isn't any hurry about It, Octobter and November v e col lected leaves. The names of the trees on the school ground were learned. Several art activities were done with thte leaves. Finger painting has been en joyed by all of us this year. Each pupil has painted a picture. The pictures are now on. our bulletin board. Oi|r Grade Mothers have been good to us. At Hallowe'en they gave us a nice party. Last week they, surprised us, with an album of records. so don't let that worry you. In ! most cases it is best to delay pruning until the hard freezing weather is past. Pruning may be done at any timte of the year but it is advisable to do' it during the dormant season when the plants are not growing and when fruit trees and shrubs have lost their leaves and you can see what you are doing. In order to prune a fruit trete intelligently, one should know how it bears its' fruit and also its natural habit of growth. The grape, for example, bears its fruit on new shoots coming from the previous season's wood. Therefore, We prune out as much of the old wood as possible each year, leaving sufficient one year wood to produce a good crop. The apple bears much of its fruit on short fruit spurs which are dis tributed up and down the main . branches and upper trunk, and | also on the terminals of the one year twigs. II you remove these fruit spurs and cut back the onfe year twigs, you will destroy a lot of the fruit bearing wood. The peach bears its fruit directly on last season's growth and, there fore. may be pruned quite severe ly in order to kfcep up a good sup ply of young wood each year. Pruning flowering shrubs in volves similar problems. It is nec essary to know on what wood the flowers are borne in order to khow when and how much to prune. Therefore, before you start to cut. llearn something about the tree or shrub. You ran always remove branches but you cannot put them back. In pruning grape vine ?--especially muscadines - many gardeners become alarmed because the vines "bleed'" badly. That is. the sap flows from the cut stems. However, there is no evidence that this bleeding is harmful to the plant. Weeding c.in be reduced hv pV-miiig grape Vines early in the dormant sea son. preferably in December or January. / Testing for TB She's having- a tuberculin test to And out If sho has nny TB germs.
