This is what is happening at Seaforth Public School for Education Week. By Caroline Dyck and Lisa Gitngerich WRITER'S WORLD by SPS EDUCATION WEEK The topic of this year's Education Week is multiculturalism. All Seaforth Public School classes were asked "What are you doing for your Multiculturalism Unit?" Most teachers were surprised to hear this question and replied "I'm really not that sure, come back as late as possible!" But you know the Writer's club, the very next day we were right back there knocking on their doors once more. By that time two out of three teachers had made their plans. These are the answers of the questions asked. Mrs. Britton's Grade 1/2's are making plans to have a doll collection of all the dif- ferent countries in the World and are going to have a book display. The students are looking forward to learning about the children and where they live. The next stop was to go to Mrs. Kane and Mrs. Griffin's Grade 4. Mrs. Kane answered the door and told us that they're going to work in partners and find out information on a country of their choice. They would also be tracing a person on a large piece of paper and dressing the person like the country they collected information on. Mrs. van den Akker's Grade 4/5 class will also be par- ticipating in this activity. Mrs. Elliot's 2/3 class will be studying the country Mexico and will further this topic. Mrs. Riley's Grade 5 class will be decorating their class up so it will look like a one room schoolhouse and all students will take part in collecting some interesting pieces of history. They will be playing old games and writing with a straight pen. The class seems excited and will look forward to this day.

Mrs. Schenck says school has changed a lot since she attended near Kincardine. She says then there were no busses, there was a one room school house with 36 students when she started but only°l1 by the time she was in grade eight. There were no com- puters or photocopyers and more note - taking was done. "And you were all in one room so when you were bored with what you were learning in your grade, you listen- ed to what someone else was learning." Corbett photo.
