We learned to read, to write, to count, and to work together cooperatively. We got to know all these strange animals quite well, especially when we visited the Bronx Zoo.įor the May Festival we helped Miss Beck’s first grade with a Tom Thumb Wedding but no one really got married.Īctors and actresses must be kept busy. Last of all we were animal keepers at the zoo. This time we were Eskimos who made igloos and loved the Northern Lights. Santa was very good to us and so we decided to resume our acting. Right before Christmas we decided to stop acting for awhile and be as good as we could –for Santa Claus was coming. We made feather headdresses and painted our faces for our program.
Next we were Indians who lived in wigwams and beat upon tom-toms. And since we like farms so much we went all the way down to the Walker and Gordon Milk Farm to see the cows and calves as well as the Rotolactor machine. Just read on and you shall see what many different roles we played.įirst of all, we were farmers who took good care of their farm animals. This was the first year we became such good actors and actresses. This was the very first year we attended school both in the morning and in the afternoon. It’s been lots of fun this year! We hope that Second Grade will be just as exciting next September. Will you ever forget our Tom Thumb Wedding with Miss Pietrowski’s First Grade? Then along came the great day for our May Festival. We talked about this trip for days and days. Our frieze of lions, monkeys, tigers, and giraffes made our room look like a real zoo. Spring came and we studied about the circus and the zoo. It was thrilling to see the big airplanes land and take off. In April, we took a trip to the Newark Airport. In March we studied about the wind and airplanes. We had real cans, all kinds of groceries, a register for money, and a telephone in our store. Playing in our grocery store was fun, too! Our own churned butter made a big hit and was pictured in the Newark News. Miss Holton helped us make Jell-O for one of our parties. We enjoyed very nice parties at Halloween, Christmas, Valentine’s Day, and Easter. Lulic ( Mary, my mother) took pictures of us at the farm. One day we visited the Walker-Gordon farm. We made a large frieze with cows, chickens, ducks, and other farm animals. At first we studied about the dairy farm.
I loved school and, amazingly, I remember the names of so many kid s. Where am I in the photo? I’m in the second row from the top – bows and braids atop my head. I decided to post a photo and text from the Winfield Park (NJ) annual school report. How many of us remember our First Grade? Luckily, I have newspaper clippings, report cards, and letters.
