of February. They are finishing up
by learning about our friends to the
Inuit. It has been very interesting,
and has sparked some individuals
to want to do independent projects.
We would like to thank Mr.
Sanders for lending us his collec-
tion of seal, whale and wolf, bones
and teeth, and Mrs. Kemp for
coming to talk to us and for
bringing all the interesting articles
she has collected during the time

made her a very special card
wishing her fast recovery. They
have been doing very well writing
and solving mysteries.
The kindergartens are learning

Actually little magnetic objects
were hidden in the sand and the
kids had to use magnets to recover
the little treasures.

student to take home Pumpkin the
