looking at them standing in a
tall slim ceramic bottle. They
are like daisies ringed by thorns
and all dipped in cement,
beautiful in their way yet so self
protected they evoke from me a
chilly shudder and a repetitive
thought, “In Israel, even to be a
flower you have to be tough.”
THANKS!
The JCC thanks Queen
City TV & Appliance for the
use of a microwave oven for
the Kitchen Wizardry Class.

Pre-School
Spanish Classes
The JCC is offering Spanish
classes for 3, 4 & 5 year, olds
beginning in February. The
children will attend class two
days a week for one-half hour
each day. The 3 yar olds will
meet on Tuesday and Thursday
mornings from 10:45 to 11:15;
the 4 and 5 year olds on Tuesday
and Friday afternoons from 2:30
to 3.
The instructor, Yvonne Beato,
has returned to Charlotte after
fifteen years in Spain. She was
amazed to find that there is no
foreign language program ade^
quately design^ for and offered
to pre-school children. Such
programs have been prevalent
in Europe for years and it was
there she began her teaching ex
perience.
As has been proven in the Eu
ropean school system, a pre
school initiation into a foreign
language not only benefits the
child’s future education but is
also highly stimulating and
valuable in improving
vocabulary, pronunciation and
comprehension of his own
language.
The pre-school child leams^a
new language automatically in
a recreational environment.
While working with special con
cepts as colors and numbers, the
child gains skills and
vocabulary in the new language
and his own.
Yvonne’s experience with
children speaking two or more
languages has proven to her the
importance of early exposure to
foreign languages. The pre
school child has no inhibitions,
no pre-conceived ideas, no rigid
muscular-vocal patterns which
later on make learning a foreign
language difficult. Once the
child has contact with the new
language through someone who
speaks it to him and with w'hom
he identifies emotionally, his
urge to communicate follows
naturally.
All of us who have been sub
jected to an inadequate in
troduction to foreign languages
at an age long past what
Montessori calls “the ideal time
for language beginning” have
memories of something less
pleasant. Modem educators are
beginning to realize the validity
of teaching languages at in
creasingly lower levels.
Check the children’s class
schedule for fees and registra
tion information. Classes begin
the week of F’ebruary 4th.
The JCC’s Crafts Department
continues to grow with the latest
addition of a kick wheel donated
by Henry Siderman. This wheel
will be used in the children and
adult clay classes.
Henry, who came to Charlotte
via New York, started out doing
airbrush work and then chang
ed to photography. After retirfe-
ment, he moved to Stanfield,
N.C. to live on a small farm. He
attended CPCC and took up
pottery. Henry has built some
kick wheels for the CPCC art
department, for people in the
Charlotte area, and also one for
a cultural museum in Hickory.

Women’s View ... to be continued?
This Fall the JCC Adult Program Committee offered a
series of one day programs entitled Women’s View. These
were held the fourth Wednesday of each month and consisted
of a topic in the morning, a box lunch and another topic in the
afternoon. Baby sitting was available for young children. The
subjects were varied and covered concerns of Jewish women,
the personal potential of women and women in the arts and
drama. The committee would like to continue this concept for
the Spring Session but needs the support of the community to
make it worthwhile. We would like to have your view of
Women’s View and are asking you to contact Bobbie Berns
tein at the JCC (366-0357) or Florence Jaffa (366-4713) so we
know we have your support. If sufficient response is not
received then the committee will not continue this program.
We would also like your suggestions for program topics and
your thoughts about changing the day from Wednesday to
Tuesday. Your opinion is important to this decision.
