The Walton kindergartens will
study the letter U this week. They
learned that Umbrella, Up and
Under were all U words. To go
along with the lesson the kids made
a delicious pineapple Upside down
cake.
Grade l/2s are finishing up their
unit on energy and to prove that the
sun gives energy they melted
chocolate chips on the top of
marshmallows.
They have started an experiment
on plant energy. Bean seeds were
planted in a shoebox with only a
hole at one end of the box. They
will observe and record what
happens as the bean plant grows.
The class is presenting their energy
design projects.
They have made boats with
windup propellers, twirlers and cars
and boats moved by wind.
The first month of Snuggle up
and Read is ending on Feb. 11.

study U
lots of books.
Grade 2/3s have been busy
working on their farewell book to
Mrs. Dolmage. It is filled with
messages and pictures. The Grade
2s are reading a story about kites
and Grade 3s are reading about
dinosaurs.
Grade 3/4 are now learning how
to measure angles. They learned
how to use protractors. They also
discovered that it wasn't easy to
visualize a solid from a net.
Star peepers and dioramas were
made to go along with the various
stories that the students have been
reading. Art seemed to collaborate
with math this week as the kids
learned that everything has lines
and shapes. Their art was lines cut
out and glued onto papers in
interesting designs.
Skating happens next Friday7
and Valentine's parties too.
A big thank you to Vai Pethick
who has been busy reorganizing the
library.

millennium.
Gloria Love then introduced the
guest speaker, Laura Scott. Christy,
Ken and Laura's oldest daughter
has been living in Russia for a year
and a half attending Moscow State
University. She also had a job there
teaching English. They thought that
since they more or less had a tour
guide there they would fly over,
which they did, in July.
They were impressed by the
beautiful ornate buildings of Red
Square.
In Russia the colour red is seen a
lot. Red means beautiful. There
were all kinds of cathedrals but
they never saw anyone attend them.
They learned that there are no
laundromats there or washing
machines except for the very
wealthy, so laundry is done by
hand. During the summer months
the hot water is shut off.
They were amazed at the
parking, one could park anywhere
and anytime. If they went to a
restaurant they could park right up
on the sidewalk. There were no
meters and if you were pulled over
for speeding you weren't given a
ticket, you had to pay right there.
They saw lots of unused land but
the government still owns it so
nothing is being done. They saw no
farm machinery and no herds of
cattle. There was a pipeline going
in and it was all being dug by hand.
There weren't many taxis but you
could stop any car and ask to be
driven to your destination and
dicker for the price.
A highlight was going to Peter
the Greats' summer palace. They
had to wear little cloth sandals over
their shoes so as not to damage any
of the flooring. There were
beautiful fountains everywhere.
Vodka was very cheap and a
person could drink anywhere at
anytime.
Laura said that they didn't
understand personal space. One
time Ken was in the bank and a
man was looking over his shoulder
watching his every move. There
were no lineups, people just shoved
to get onto buses, etc. She said that
they almost missed the bus once
because they were being so polite
not wanting to push anyone.
People didn't smile a lot, but once
you talked to them they were very
happy to talk with you.
They attended Bolshoi Theatre
and watched Swan Lake. The
theatre has six balconies with red
velvet seats and gold trimmings.
The theatre holds 2,155 people and
there were chandeliers all over. The
main one was close to 20 feet in
diameter.
The trip was an eye-opener for
the couple and Laura said she
would love to go back again to
explore more of the countryside. It
is an old country, a place full of
history dating back to the 1100s.
They found that the streets and
many buildings were in a state of
disrepair. People owned the insides
of the building but no one owned
the outside, thus they didn't get
fixed up.
Laura brought back some artisan
crafts, such as hand-carved dolls
brightly painted and some
matriushka dolls (stacking dolls)
and other very interesting items.
