FIRST GRADE FALL WORK 

 LESSON I 



POINTS OF THE COMPASS 



WHERE does the sun rise ? Where does it set ? Point to 

 the place where it rises ; where it sets. The sun rises in the 

 east and sets in the west. Mention other things that are 

 east of us ; west of us. When we face the east, or rising sun, 

 our left hand is toward the north and our right hand is toward 

 the south. How is it when we face the setting sun ? Point 

 to the east; the south; the west; the north. Have the 

 pupils name objects that are in various directions from them 

 until the notion of direction is fixed in their minds. 



Show them a compass and teach them its use in giving a 

 knowledge of direction. If the streets are regular and are 

 named according to their direction from a given point, as is 

 the case in many cities, teach the pupils the naming and 

 numbering of the streets and houses as far as they may be 

 able to use and understand such information. 



LESSON II 

 THE WEATHER RAIN 



What kind of weather have we to-day? Do you like this 

 kind of weather? Why? Is any one injured by it? Who 

 enjoy this kind ? Why ?
