Celia Armijo, Nambe School - Second and Third Grade, 1940-1941
Item — Box: 13, Diary: 4
Scope and Contents
This diary opens with a list of students by group, most of whom, the teacher states, are attending regularly and well put together. The teacher regularly records the height and weight of the children. The opening lesson plans focus on flowers and associated stories. By mid January the children are "reading conscious" and almost every child reads regularly. Mid-January there is a lesson plan on the Nambe carpenters, the Nambe County nurse, mailman and teachers. Other sections and projects include, the Birds that Come to Nambe, Our Talk About Birds, More About Birds, and Humming Birds. There are few notes on formal grading as well as health records (height and weight), although the teacher does include the grade for one Master Achievement Test, details on A, B, C level groups as well as notes on a sewing class. The individual that reviews this comments that students who have poor reading skills probably have poor eyesight. The end of the diary contains index tabs for last names of the few parents that were contacted throughout the year.
