Times Advocate, 1989-12-13, Page 14Page 14 Times -Advocate, December 13, 1989 Room 110 not your average classroom EXETER - Amidst the noise, hustle and bustle at South Huron District High School is u very busy group of young people, the CLN Class of Donna Webster. This is the Challenging Learning Needs room for teens with mental or physical handicaps . Their prob- lems don't prevent them from be- coming involved in the life of the school, however. The students help with school attendance sheets for instance, and Terri Ann Kerr is on the Senior Girls Intramural Volley- ball team. Each student is integrated into one or more subjects each day, and many are earning academic credits. There are 11 young people en- rolled, from age 15' to 22 years with a few more students coming in for day programs. Some students are integrated mainly to improve their social skills and learning social graces from their peers. Friday, the students formedan ef- ficient assembly line to make 200 candy bags for the Handicapped Children's Christmas Party the next day m Clinton. They helped members of the Children's Services Committee bag the apples, oranges, bulk candy and candy canes, then tie a curly ribbon around each one. The classroom contains a refrig- erator, microwave and stove. They use these appliances to bake pies, from scratch. With the money they've earned from baking these pies, they fi- nanced a Christmas dinner together out at a local restaurant. Teacher Donna Webster also points out that this teaches them the elements of planning, buying, banking, measuring, reading skills and cashing checks, all vital life skills. Each student has work experience out in the community, too, for one., day a week for 14 to 20 weeks or every other day for one month. Several are involved in the stu- dent Co-op Program. Webster is very grateful to the business community of Exeter for their willingness to help these young people become participating citizens.
