Lakemoor-Lilymoor Area Margaret Karas 385-4934 Christmas In Lilymoor Neighbors in Lilymoor subdivision met, played games, received gifts, ex­ changed cookies, chatted and had refreshments at the first annual Christmas party sponsored by the Lilymoor association. Santa Claus was there with a big ho-ho-ho., in the person of Skip Gurske, making it an exciting time for the youngsters. Among those coming away from the festivities with additional prizes, were Alma Hueckstaedt with a turkey and wine, and a local restaurant with a duck, which is really carrying coals to Newcastle. The starting point of a tradition is often forgotten. Let this first annual Christmas party be the forerunner of many more get-togethers, to help make a community of people who enjoy and care for each other. BIRTHDAYS- .

Learning about left, right, up, and down inside his own body helps him learn about these same directions in the world outside his body. Many children with serious learning problems have trouble reading because they never learned about left, right, up and down, according to Growing Child, the monthly child development newsletter. They cannot tell the letter "b" from the letter "d" because they don't know left from right. They are not slow or retarded in learning, they just failed to learn about directions in space. Experts in learning disabilities see many bright teenagers who can barely read. Many of these young people are confused about their left-right-up-down directions--both inside their own bodies and also in the world outside. The real problem is that these children cannot organize relationships among objects in space. They may have very sharp vision, which means they can see each object "out there" very clearly. Their problem is that they canjpot organize what they see. They" see, but they do not perceive accurately. It's almost as if each thing they see is separate and distinct from all other things - they have trouble perceiving patterns or relationships among all those things "out there". Children with problems such as the ones just described have difficulty in organising space. Objects exist in space, and form patterns in space. As you read this, stop for a moment and do a simple experiment. Look about you at all the ob­ jects in the room where you are sitting. Now look at just one object (a chair, table, flower pot, etc.) As you look at this one object, you know very well where all the other objects are with respect to this one object. Some are to the left or right, some are close to or farther away from you than is this particular object. All the objects in the room are "(here in space," and you can see where each is with respect to all the others; you can organize the patterns of all those objects in space. The reason you can do this is that when you were a JOIN I IATI FOR A GALA NEW YEAR'S EYE Evening Includes: Cocktails and Hors d' oeuvres Dinner including Wine Open Dor (10:00 pm-1:00 am) Dancing with Floor Shows by Shirley Smith, Sandy Smith, H.

You also learned how to project your "body space" onto the world outside your body. For many children, this im­ portant "toddler learning" simply did not take place. Organizing space is a most important learning task for toddlers. But they must also learn how to organize something else which is just as important: They must learn how to organize time. This does not mean "organizing time" as adults do; rather, it means that a toddler must learn that some things happen "now", that other things happened "before", and that still other things will happen "later". Just as objects are "there" in space and form patterns, in a somewhat similar fashion events occur in time and form patterns. A child needs to learn about "now" and "before" and "later" just as much as he needs to learn about left and right and up and down. To see how this basic organization of time affects reading, consider 'this example. Many bright children with severe lear­ ning problems will write "frist" for "first" when they are copying words or sen­ tences. This particular mistake is actually an error in organizing time.
