" Aa CASTLEGAR NEWS, December 19, 1979 ‘As it happens’ at Winlaw Elementary By SHELLEY HANCOCK Parent Reporter With the first snow- * flakes, the new winter rhy- thms and inherent activities i the thoughts of the: store.

Winlaw. i ’ And yes, Christmas is near, with school holidays beginning Dec.:21. ite ‘Ann Shrieves and the Grade 1s were eager to share their activities and spon- taneously recited en masse a poem, “Little Jack Frost,” with proud faces, appropriate gestures and a backdrop of white paper snow flakes against the long windows. Everyone had something to say: Katrina showed their stained glass windows made’ from colorful tissue paper; » Wendy was pleased with the ’ _ handmade snow people; Dar- ** ey likes to make cards for her ; teacher and Sandy, pointing to the projector, said he likes films, And- gym time, with dodge ball and racing relays an obvious hit. Kendra ex-' plained how the children listen to favorite stories with the earphones and Charlene says they are learning sub- traction! * yereet trees * Leaving this group of children, so vocal and open about their class, their ac- complishments, I went on to the Grade 2s and Arlono McMillin, I was lucky. I caught them while Ms, McMillin was reading a story about animals — bears, butterflies, swans and eels — and, once again, the children could barely contain themselves, each one having an anecdote to con- : :tribute — Debbie had a crab story; Marcy, some turtle tales. On a suggestion from Ms. MeMillin, all the children became a favorite animal, slithering or flying off, then turning to frogs on lily pads with darting tongues anxious to catch an unsuspecting fly. From this the children moved into some Yoga ex- ercises; the lion with mouths wide, As I left the room, Holly, told me of ¢ tl and Poppy was already making plans for her Christ- ~ mas holidays to Calgary. ss Carol Conkin's Grade 3s = are becoming involved in the - new Christmas learning cen- tres, each one being a type of Mrs. O'Neail to be 104 on Dec. 23 The last issue of the year of the Castlegar News would not be complete without ex- tending our beat wishes to a pioneer of Slocan, Mrs. O'Neail, who will be cel- ebrating her 104 birthday Dec. 23. Mrs. O'Neail, is the oldest of six children who were all born in a brick home built for her parents in 1870 at Glen- garry, Ont.
