M onday, Feb. 23, the b> DAN DILLON Children growing up in ru ra l areas often find that some of the things c i ty kids take for granted just aren’t always available — playmates, for instance. In the Sandy area, a group of mothers with pre-schoolers decided they wanted an alternative for their children so they would be better socially adapted when they began school. They banded together through the Sandy C om m unity School and formed the Pooh s Cor ner Pre-School Co-op for children two to five years old. • The neatest thing is the women doing it themselves,” said Com munity School coordinator Nancy Allyn. “ It ’s what makes this one d if ferent.” Eighteen mothers take turns working with the children, teaching them social skills and giving them a sneak preview of the skills they'll need when they enter school. Carrie Morgan, one of the co-op’s organizers, said, “ Some of them are just beginning and there are others who just need to get those skills in a structured way.” To help with the development, the mothers are instituting a learning table system where children can move from table to table and work on different developmental skills like counting and the alphabet "Everybody does a weekly tu rn ." Morgan said, "but each mother knows what the week before did.” John Smolick is asking to reduce the 10-acre lot size re quirement to five acres, to allow division of the proper ty into two lots The property is on the south side of S.E. Dowling Hoad, a p p ro xim a te ly 650 feet west of its intersection with S.E 476th Avenue, in the Sandv area Interested citizens are in vited to attend these hear ings and offer testimony.

She ad ded that she has been getting calls and calls about the co-op since it began and has had to form a waiting list If people are interested in getting on the w aiting list or would like to share some stories w ith the children or teach them a craft, they can call the Sandy C o m m u n ity School. 668-5744, for more information.
