Hertford Grammar School news Kindergarten teachers Mrs. Caro lyn Ward, Mrs. Pam Lothian and Mrs. Thelma Finch are now making preparations to work with kinder garten students on the IBM computer program "Writing to Read." The tea chers project that their students will be writing their own conputer stories by the end of their kindergarten year. This instruction is a part of the basic compentency for all students in writ ing skills. Twelve students were chosen to represent Hertford Grammar School in the Young Writers' Contest.

Chris New comb, and Tiffany Cerveny. Mrs. Linda Longs' third grade class is excited about a new class project Mrs. Longs' students are pen pals with third graders in St. Clair Shores, Michigan. Last week, stu dents had their pictures made in va rious places around the community in order to share information about Hertford with their new friends. Fourth graders in Mrs. Karen Luzscz's class enjoyed a "Tasting Party" presented by Mrs. Eleanor Wilder, Foods Service Manager for Hertford Grammar School. These students are studying nutrition and the Basic Food Groups. All students at Hertford Grammar enjoyed a "Welcome Back to School" treat on Monday January 5. The stu dents enjoyed a presentation by an excellent ventrioquest, Stephen Bru baker. Mr. Bru baker has won 8 na tional awards for his ideas and per formances. He travels throughout the USA "throwing" his voice into a trumpet, a radio, boxes, and puppets. The students and faculty thoroughly enjoyed this enrichment program. The following poems are are from 6th graders in Maureen Pasternak's class. THE SAD FLOWER One Winter day I was working through the meadow And saw a sad flower. 1 asked her why she was sad, and she said, I am lonesome out here all alone I dug her up and carried her home to my mom She was happy from then on with the rest of her friends. Myra Chambers HGS-Grade 6 ONE DAY IN THE PARK One day in the park I saw girls and boys playing on the swings and slide. One day in the park I saw butterflies flying above me and I saw a bee's nest and a rabbit hole. One day in the park I saw fish in the pond and a man fishing with a cane-pole. Fish that got away. On day in the park I saw a snake move through the green tall grass. What king of snake was it? It was a green snake. Union School highlights This year In-School Suspension has taken the initiative to become better ?quainted with the parents of the stu dents that have to serve time in In School Suspension. It is with the in tention of making the parents aware of the side-of-their-child that they many times, never hear anything about, except that it was the teachers fault. Therefore, involving the parents with the In-School Suspension pro gram in what is called the "Exit Con ference," the parents will be more throughly informed; that is, hear both sides of the issue at hand. The "Exit Conference" is designed to have the parents come out for a conference before the children can go back to the regular classroom. Those firesent at the conference are the In ftehool Suspension Coordinator, the childs teachers? if possible, the child "(student), and the parents. Hopefully this will continue to help iron out some difficulties that exist in order for the child to do whatever is nec essary to curb improper behavior. The "Exit Conference" is also de signed with the purpose in mind of getting the parents more involved with their child and the things (mis behavior) that they are doing in school? those things they hardly say anything about. Thus far, having the parents to come out seems to be working with some of the students that have been to In-School Suspension. It's bad enough when parents talk with teach ers when you're not in trouble, but to have your parents come to school when your are in trouble, well that's "a horse of another color." Finally, not all parents think that it's "worth the time" to come for an "Exit Conference." You know, if you think about it, anything that involves a child whether positive or negative is "worth the time." CLASSIFIED ADS DO THE JOB!
