Miss. Anna Vigil, Nambe School - 6th grade, 1941-1942

 Item — Box: 19, Diary: 3

Scope and Contents

The grade for this diary is uncertain, but by looking at the assignments one can guess that the students are moderately advanced (perhaps 4th grade, though some children are as old as 16). This teacher makes many visits to talk with families, and it is evident that she has previous experience teaching in rural communities (for example, she was not upset to hear parents were reading one of the books a student checked out.). This journal contains extensive vocabulary lists, assignments, and a few sample stories. The final entries discuss children individually.
