They will demonstrate a .centre approach to teach mass, capacity and temperature. By Rhonda Bartley The students at our school feel very fortunate to have so many computers. In the grade 5-6 class each pupil spends 25 minutes twice a week working with games that teach us skills in mathematics, spelling and story writing. Everyone in our class enjoys the computers because it gives us an opportunity to have fun while we are learning.

After hearing objections from a Bowmanville delegation, the Northumberland and Newcastle Board of Education voted to establish establish a junior kindergarten commencing commencing next September. The program, which has a total cost of $798,000, was endosred by the board after some lively discussion discussion last Thursday night. Gloria Bates, a Bowmanville mother who spoke on behalf of the delegation, charged that the board was creating an unnecessary tax burden on the public in an attempt to extract grant money from the government. government. She also voiced concern over the quality of education the four-year- olds would receive and complained that the child/teacher ratio of 28-1 could not be compared with the 8-1 ratio that now exists in independent independent day care and nursery schools. Another parent who addressed the board, Natalie Rosen, claimed there is a lack of funds for existing needs in the schools and told ^he board the money should be spent on the existing school program. 1 * "There is overcrowding in some schools, a shortage of books, pencils pencils and paper, if the pre -kindergarten -kindergarten program is implemented these things will be overlooked," she said. The mothers also had fears that the children would have to endure two-hour bus rides in some cases and that there is no guarantee that the children will be picked up at the door. "I don't think we are looking at the same criteria for "close care" that is outlined in the Day Care Nurseries' Act," said Mrs. Rosen. She urged the board to make the Day Care Nurseries' Act a mandatory mandatory guideline for establishing junior kindergarten. But Bowmanville trustee Donna Fairey informed Mrs. Rosen that it was not within the board's jurisdiction jurisdiction to do so. "That's a provincial matter," she said. Bowmanville trustee, Hal McKnight questioned how the committee could have been unanimous unanimous in its approval of the program when there appears to be so much dissatisfaction with the program by area mothers. "We need the support of the parents to operate the program," program," he said, "we'll have to do a better selling job or listen to more discussion on it." Chief Superintendent Bob Moorecroft told board members that similiar programs have been implemented by other boards and have been proven successful and assured them it would be the best program the board can offer. Verna Shackleton, trustee for Alnwick and Campbellford, said she had not received one negative call about the program, "I'm surprised surprised that one area is so against it." Cobourg's Russell Walker also said he has heard nothing but positive positive statements about it. But trustee John Carter said, "I haven't had anyone tell me they were in favor of it." Wilf Day, trustee for Port Hope, said that less than 25 percent of thé four-year-olds in Port Hope go to -jJagdftUrsqry. "One is full .and one jtéFà waiting list " he said'"parents îfealizè.this is a necessary program and it should be implemented for all those who want to send their children to kindergarten." Alnwick, Campbellford trustee, Doris Linton argued that that the. $41,000 in transportation costs was too much to pay for people who are just looking for a free babysitting service and asked for a recorded vote. Donna Fairey said that a lot of parents who can't afford to send their children to kindergarten deserve deserve the opportunity and said although although she believed ECE(Early Childhood Education) teachers were the best qualified to take on the program, other boards who employed employed registered public school teachers have continued to thrive. She said "I think the board should respond to the need for this program." program." Chairman Ian Wilson said he would be supporting the program. He said: "It's just part of the ongoing ongoing evolutionary process of education." education." Two Pontypool Pathfinders received their Canada Cords on June 11, 1985.
