OUR NAMES ARE
KEITH, BEN, SAM, TIM, ANDY, DAVID AND JESSICA OH AND MISS MONAGHAN
WE ARE A CLASS AT GEEBUNG SPECIAL SCHOOL AND WE ARE LOOKING AT WORMS
THIS YEAR.
February 13, 1998
Yesterday we went fishing
Ben almost caught a crab, Sam and Andy caught a little catfish and
Marg caught a Bream. We were careful to wear our hats, but Keith's hat
fell in the water. A nice man hooked it with his rod and Keith was
very happy to get it back.
On mondays we go swimming we have a pool here at school.Ben thinks
school is fun.
We have not got our worms yet because Todd our groundsman is away
fishing and he has the worm farm but we are learning all about them
ready to start.

Hello!
Greetings from Mrs. Crouse at Delmar Elementary School. A few
of my students have sat down at our computer to write about
the worms. They all like to write, however they must finish
their reading and math work first. Our worms are doing fine.
I put in an apple core each day and the students bring back
lunch leftovers. Sometimes we have too much food for the
worms and we just have to throw it away. Right now we have
plants growing in our worm bin! How did that happen? Well,
some of the food that we throw away has seeds in it
(tomatoes, apples , oranges...) and the seeds will begin to
grow in the good, wet soil. The seeds start to grow but they
soon die because there is no sunlight. Worms are very cool
and we like having them as classroom pets. Sometimes on a
"rainy day recess" we take them out and look at them on our
desks. Our saying is "WORMS RULE!!"
I hope that you are all doing well. Write again any time we
can talk about other things, not just worms.
Peace,
Mrs. Crouse
