the creatures that are found at
these places. It was also sec-
retary week and the class
made up a song using the
tune of "Twinkle, Twinkle
Little Star", and sang it for
her.
It was buy and sell day in
the 2/3 class. They set up
their stores and using their
play money a lot of interest-
ing items were sold. The
hottest selling items that went
for $1,000 were cars and
hockey cards. The class gave
Mrs. Wilson some cards,
posters and candy.
The Early Years students
worked on the number eight.
They had fun making figure
eight buns and of course the
best part was eating them.
They also learned about the
letter G. They planted grass
on a green sponge shaped in
a "g". They also got to have

they especially liked her hair.

and Dauphin Feed Mill.
Doreen Hackwell greeted

car in drive, accelerate and

places with lots of people and
