My Weekly Reader September 11, 1961


 September 11, 1961

So I came across another "stash" of old Weekly Readers that I am going to share for the next few weeks. I have written before how these tiny newspaper appeared in our classrooms every week during the school year (and the summer too). I really love how our progress in the space race was filtered down to school aged children.

  1. I can clearly remember our elementary school classes sitting on the floor of our school's gym/auditorium and watching the first few of the USA's space flights. A TV set was placed on the stage and we, with better eyesight than now, watched and listened to the takeoffs and recoveries.
