An important part of this annual event is the Fall Fair Parade which starts at 11:00 A.M on September 20th. The theme for this year's fair is "Family Farm" so the decorat- ing should be easy. The Luc - know Kinette club is helping the Agricultural Society with the parade, and the parade committee is hoping for lots of participation. It would be great to see the family farms well represented. Many area resi- dents have either grown up on a family farm, live on a family farm, have visited a family farrn or at least have seen a family farm. It is a familiar topic in this agricultural community. It would be terrific to see lots of business, family, and individ- ual entries. There are numer- ous categories - children's sec- tion, pedestrians, horses, floats, and vehicles. It would be wonderful to have a long and colourful parade to watch. The Kin Spirit/Participa- tion contest is on again this year. The Lucknow Kinsmen have provided prize money for this event .The Kinettes are challenging Lucknow Public school and Brookside Public school to take part in the parade. The criteria for winning prize money for the school is outlined below. 1. Have a school float that is based on the theme "Family Farm" and shows school spirit. This float is worth 50 participation points and more added for participants. 2. Also, students as individ- uals can register in existing categories in the Children's, Pedestrian and other Float categories. Each registrant in these categories ( in appropriate costume) adds 10 points to the school total. The Agricultural Society also awards prize money for individuals in these categories. 3. The school needs 100 points minimum to qualify for the $300 or $200 Spirit/Partici- pation prize. 4. Information is available at the school. You can get a parade reg- istration form at the Senti- nel office, Home Hardware or online at www.lucknow- agsociety.ca No one will be turned away. However, judging starts at 10:00 a.m.. Assembly areas are on the registration form, as well as being announced in the Lucknow Sentinel the week before. Parade marshals will give directions also. We are looking forward to people getting involved in our com- munity and taking part in the parade.

Our kindergarten pro- grams center around the image of the child as being competent and capable of complex thinking. This plan- ning is built around the notion that the kindergarten classroom is a place of won- der, a place to explore the world, ask questions, develop theories, and pre- sent learning through many different modes. A typical day in a kinder- garten classroom begins with students signing in and taking responsibility for their belongings and routines. Greeted by their early learning team con- sisting of a Teacher and a Designated Early Child- hood Educator, the chil- dren typically choose which area of the class- room they wish to begin their play based inquiry time. Throughout these inquiry times the educators work with small groups of students and individuals to provide precision teaching in developmentally appro- priate literacy and numer- acy skills. At strategic times through- out the day the children may be called to meet as a whole group in knowledge building circles or community meet- ings. At this time the educa- tors support the students to share their learning, their theories and ideas so others can become excited about the learning that is happen- ing across the room. Kindergarten programs in Ontario have undergone a transformation in recent years.
