Last week Mrs. MacRae's
Grade 1 visited Mr. Poulin's
room to learn some French.
The students enjoyed their
experience last week and
this week they did the same
thing for approximately 20
minutes. The girls and boys
learned the parts of the body
and they played "Simon
Says" in French. The winner
received a robot named
Max. The students who
taught the Grade is were
Kirsten Keil, Shelly
McLennan and Marcy
McKee. Soon the children
shall learn about colors.

working on.
-Heather Bishop
Mrs. Schedler and Mrs.
King's Grade 1 and 2 classes
are very involved in the
study of dinosaurs. They are
watching film strips, reading
books, painting and
modeling dinosaurs. All their
activities have a dinosaur
theme. Soon they will be
making diaramas, which are
dinosaur scenes in a shoe
box, Grade 1 is getting its
first reader and Grade 2 is
getting another new reader.
-Colleen Smith,
Mrs. Martin's class is
being tested on many sub-
jects, but the subject being
tested most is math. This
shows Mrs. Martin which
students need some extra
math help. Along with the
math help are two parent
helpers and two Grade 7
students who come into the
classroom to give extra help
for reading and other sub-
jects.
Also two Grade 11 students
from the high school come
for one hour twice a week to
help with them- family
studies.
Conferences will be held
between the teacher and the
student about their strong
and weak points. Creative
writing really has improved.
-Amy Bateman
Mr. Martin's class has
received a new name. They
now are- called a "self-
contained classroom". They
are quite excited because
they are writing letters of
introduction to a class at
Queen Elizabeth Public
School in Kitchener. They
plan to visit each other and
enjoy a trip to the circus
together.

County will look for
library board members
Huron County will be
advertising fori candidates to
sit ori its library board and
will also take a second Jodk
at who makes upt the county
museum committee, follow-
ing liseussions at. the Nov-
ember session of county
counei1.
A recommendation . from
the executive committee
suggested the library board
should remain as it is. The
board is currently made up
of three members from
county council and three
appointed by council from
the general public.
Bayfield Reeve Dave
Johnston questioned the fair-
ness of not going to the public
after the committee had
recommended leaving the
library.board ''as it is. The
normal practice has been to
advertise in all county news-
papers, inviting the public to
submit names for appoint-
ment, he noted.
"We'd be closing the door
to openness."
However County Adminis-
trator Bill Hanly said that by
defeating the motion council
would revert automatically
to its past practice off adver-
tising for applicants.
applicants.
Chief Librarian Bill
Partridge noted the recom-
mendation did not come
from the library board.
County council is
represented on the board by
Reeves Grant Stirling of
Goderich Township, Joe
Kerr of Wingham and Harry
Klungel of Hensall. Appoint-
ed representatives are Janis
Bisback of Hensall, R. P.
Ritter of Wingham and
Martina Schneiker of
Goderich.
As for the museum
committee, county council
decided to send the matter
back to the executive
committee. The recom-
mendation would have left

unchanged, meaning the
chairman of the agriculture
and property committee
would also be chairman of
the museum committee,
although other members of
the one committee do not
necessarily sit on the other.
Warden Paul Steckle said
there was some concern
about - separating the
chairmanship of the two
committees because it would
swell the executive com-
mittee, which is made up of
all committee chairmen.
Hulled Reeve Tom Cun-
ningham said if the museum
committee is going to be one
of the 'most active over the
next three years it should be
a committee unto itself.
Claus Breede, director of
the museum project, said he
also would want the commit-
tee to stand alone and not be
part of another committee.
"The museum is pro-
perty;," commented Mr.
Stirling, explaining why the
two committees have had' the
same chairman.
The 'executive committee
was asked to take another
look at the matter.
VIDEOGAME

Man has produced a video-
game, Passport to Canada,
designed to test the public's
knowledge of Canadian .his-

one made available by
TVOntario. The museum has
also produced a videotex in-
formation package, Cele-
brating Our Heritage, which
describes its collections and
its programs.
