Grade News - 1st We have been talking about Pilgrims. We colored pictures of a Pilgrim girl and boy. It was interesting to learn they had no electric lights for their homes, but had to see by candlelight or light from the fireplaces. It was fun to make candles and also gave us an idea of how the Pilgrims made their candles. 4th In Reading class we are all working on choral reading for a few minutes each day. Part of the class are making Rhyme booklets. The others have completed one Reading book and have started a new one. We have learned the different markings on the globe and the zones in Geography. In History we have begun our study of early Egyptians.
