puppet -making enterprise continued over
the May..and Tuesday, ssed'by
LRC AondArea Rescource teacher Jill Johnrstgn
and Clinton teacher Catherine Beierling
along with Huron Centennial volunteer
staff member Gail Hillis.
"Puppetry is a basic part of the
language ..curriculum right from the
primary school level;" says Mrs. Johnston,
adding that the workshop was a great suc-
cess for all involved.
The puppetry component was introduced
to the Grade 5 and 6 students in all schools
at a basic level earlier in the term. A
Level 2 enrichment program was opened
up to selected students who showed a
special interest in the puppetry unit, and
the most keen students in the bunch were
chosen to take part in the six -school Level
3 workshop.
Working on their own and in groups, the
students not only made the complex pup-
pets - a painstaking task that wasn't com-
pleted until well into the second day of the
workshop - but were also responsible for
publicizing their puppet troupe at their
schools. It is hoped that the students will
be able to use their puppets as both educa-
tional and instructional tools in other
classes for the duration of the school year.

BRINGING THEM TO LIFE - Selected students from six area schools took part
in a Level 3 Puppetry enrichment program in Seaforth recently. Here, two par-
ticipants put the finishing touches on their puppets at the workshop, developed by
the Huron County Learning Resource Centre. Dale photo.
of an ongoing effort by the Board of
Education, and specifically the Learning
Resource Centre, to fill out the elementary
school curriculum and challenge the more
motivated students.
"We try to choose topics that are not
completely removed from the curriculum,"
Mrs. Johnston points out. The puppet unit
has been introduced in other parts of the
Region, along with a Problem Solving
workshop for the senior elementary grades
that involves "critical, productive thinking
with more of an analytical and
mathematical theme." •
A Story -Telling enrichment program is
slated for other schools in the Region later
on in the term.
Mrs. Johnston is pleased with the suc-
cess and acceptance of the enrichment
units. The puppetry program was especial-
ly rewarding for the creative students
involved.
"This particular Level 1,2 and 3 (pro-
gram) was working well before I took over
this job," remarks Mrs. Johnston, who has
been with the Learning Rescource Centre
for about 2 years. She explains that the
enrichment programs provide a chance for
the more gifted and motivated students in
the Region to get together, share ideas and
expand their thinking.
"That's really crucial in this area," with
many of the elementary schools being
rural and far flung, she adds.
