READING BUDDIES
by Rhonda Gibbons and
Jody Button
Every Wednesday and Friday
students from grade six and grade
one get together and read. When
we get to the grade one classroom,
we pick up our reading buddy.
The grade one teacher, Mrs.
Battye, has already helped the
grade ones find their books to read.
Half of us go into the grade six
room and halt of us go into the
grade one room with our buddy.
The grade ones read to the grade
sixes for 10 to 15 minutes. Some
comments from the buddies follow.
Anthony deBoer says that it helps
him understand reading better. His
partner, Wes Wilson, says that he
likes reading with Anthony. Cathy
Caldwell says that her buddy helps
her read better. Greg Toll, her
partner, says that reading buddies
are fun, and, you get time away
from class. He thinks it is good for
the children in grade one. Bonnie
Stewart (Gr. 1) and Charlene
Hulzebos from grade six think it is
a good program too. As for us we
think that it is a good way to get to
know the grade l’s and we hope it
continues next year.
MOVING IN
by Kim Richmond and
Kim Ferguson
The day finally arrived! On
Monday, February 5, Mrs. Web
ster and Mrs. Cronin were able to
move in to the new addition to our
school. Fortunately, with all the
good help from the students, the
library will be open quite soon.
There are 2 rooms: a large
library and computer area, and a
smaller special education/resource
room. The floors are covered with
aqua-grey carpet and the walls are
a lighter shade of aqua. It was well
worth the wait. The new area will
be well used by staff and students
alike.
U.C.W. TOLD HANDLE OUR
ENVIRONMENT WITH CARE......
On Thursday, Feb. 22 the regu
lar meeting of Blyth U.C.W. was
held in the parlour with President
June Peck in charge.
The meeting opened with the
worship by Bonnie Shannon on the
theme “How do we use our Time’’.
Myrtle Vodden presented the
Stewardship topic “Environment -
Handle with Care’’. God made the
earth for all and it is our responsi
bility to look after it. She based her
presentation on Genesis 1 and 1
and Psalm 104. The environmental
crisis with the burning tires is only
one of our problems. Another is the
water problem in Elmira and St.
Jacobs. Creation is still going on.
We are interdependent with ani
mals, fish, air, trees, etc. Creatures
and Humans were created on the
same day. Not only are we respon
sible for the stewardship of our
earth, but also we need to Take
Time (as mentioned in the worship)
to go for a walk through a bush, on
a beach etc., to see and appreciate
all that has been given to us.
President June conducted the
business period and Mildred
Ament and Elsie Walsh (from the
Fveninp Unit) served lunch.
