FIRST GRADE WINTER WORK 



LESSON XXIII 

 DOMESTIC ANIMALS THE DOG 



Describe different kinds of dogs. Teach the pupils from 

 living animals and pictures to recognize some of the most 

 important species of dogs. Discuss their size ; shape ; struc- 

 ture; food; teeth; smell; speed; uses; intelligence; etc. 



Children are easily interested in animal stories, and if 

 the stories are told in the right way, many of the habits and 

 characteristics of animals may be vividly, though almost 

 unconsciously, impressed upon their minds. Stories of this 

 nature also create in the children a kindly feeling toward 

 animals. Schoolbooks are full of stories about dogs. 



Draw, paint, or model in clay, a Newfoundland dog; a 

 greyhound; a rat terrier. Make a dog kennel out of paper. 



LESSON XXIV 

 DOMESTIC ANIMALS THE COW 



How many of you have seen a cow? How many of you 

 have one at home? What is a cow good for? Describe a 

 cow. Describe a calf. How do we obtain milk from a cow ? 

 Who has seen a cow being milked? What do we get from 

 milk? How is the cream separated from the milk? Dis- 

 cuss the products of the cow, how obtained, and for what 

 used. Several lessons may be devoted to this subject, and a 

 very interesting and useful chart may be constructed by the 

 teacher with the aid of the class.
