 Dear Mr. Tuttle: 



We received the leaflets and have read them almost through. 



We had Bird Day but did not go to the woods because it was so cold. 

 We studied the birds and pinned the pictures of birds upon the wall. 

 We waited luitil another day when it was warm to go to the woods. We 

 had a nice time. We started at half past twelve, as the woods we went to 

 was quite a ways from the schoolhouse. We w^ent in groups of four, 

 but the teacher took the little children with her. We had to be very quiet 

 so we could see the birds. We all had little account books and pencils 

 so we could w^rite down the different kinds of birds we saw. About three 

 o'clock we all sat down on a log and counted up the things we had seen. 

 We found that all the school together had seen twenty-three kinds of birds, 

 eleven kinds of trees and nine kinds of flowers. 



Sincerely yours, 



MILDRED E.
