A little less water Houseplants require less water during the winter than at any other time of the year, says Bob Hamersma of the Horticultural Research In- stitute of Ontario. As the days become shorter, plant growth slows. This reduces the plant's need for moisture, he says. Many . home gardeners have , difficulty watering plants properly. As a result, more plants die from over- watering than from any other cause. Hamersma recommends checking the soil moisture about 2 cm (3/4 in.) below the soil surface. If the soil is dry, it's time to water the plant: • Water plants thoroughly until the water can be seen running from the bottom of the pot.

Make sure the soil volume is wet, but not 4 saturated. Frequency of watering depends on the type of plant and the light and humidity conditions of your home. Plants grown under lights, or grown in bright, dry con- ditions may require water- ing as often as every second day.. And many -tropical plants suffer in the dry en- vironment of the average Ontario home in winter. "The ideal solution to the dryness is a humidifier," says Hamersma. "If that is impractical, try taking your plants into the bathroom when you shower or MW the kitchen when you cook, to „vide- the humidity—that - many plants enjoy."

Many teachers were pleased to have an op- portunity to have these changes explained by Abe Thiesen. Computers are becoming a common sight in many schools. Dave Bieman, media co-ordinator for Huron County, explained the use of computers in the modern classroom and then let teachers actually work with one. This topic always excites those who participate in the potential benefit a computer has for the child.) Is it really necessary to have a puppet in the classroom? According to Fransi'Andersson, an artist in residence for York County Board of Education, the uses of, a hand puppet are so numerous that every child should have his own. During the workshop, teachers made a puppet and put it to work in a short skit. An art display, giving teachers many creative ideas, helped to round out a day filled with practical and useable ideas.
