There! I hear the school bell. What a loud, clear voice the bell has! It is calling me to school. Do you want to go with me, Lion? You may go as far as the door of the school house. Then you must come home again. Be careful, Lion! Mamma said I must keep neat and clean for school. "Neat and clean, Winnie, darling," she said. So be careful, Lion! (Seat work. Make with splints or brush.) WINNIE LION'S STORY. I went to school with Winnie. We saw Max and Joe, Helen and Anna. Roger's dog, Sport, was with Max. Sport barked at Winnie. Then I barked at Sport. I barked so loud that he ran home. The children called her the teacher. She said: "I will take care of Winnie; don't be afraid to leave her, Lion." So I left her with the teacher. Now I must watch the hens and chickens and rabbits. I must keep them out of the flowers. weed and some large thistles. She wants us to see the wings on the milkweed seeds. The thistle seeds have wings, too. Then we'll get the flower that looks like a soft, white sphere now. You know what that is, Lion! It is just the dandelion. And dandelion seeds have wings, too. The wings carry the seeds away, away! |
