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.
Conference day slated
The third in a series of
Sandy Union High School
academic conference days
w ill be held Monday, March
2, from 12 noon to 4:30 p.m.
and from 5 to 8 p.m
It is a day set aside for
parents to visit w ith staff
about their ch ild ’s progress
in classwork, and in meeting
the school's scholastic, a t
She said that one woman involved
in the project was a pre-school
teacher for five years and brings
some needed experience to the pro
gram. “ but a lot of it just comesfrom
what we want for our children "
The mothers have divided into
committees to oversee the co-op's
operation and chart its future "We
accept everyone else's ideas,”
Morgan said "B u t. you have to have
someone so it isn’t just really loose ”
Because many of the children are
from areas just outside the c ity ’s
lim its, the benefits of contact with
other children is a welcome bonus.
“ I t ’s most social, so the younger
kids can learn to play with one
another and learn sharing.” Morgan
said ”
Allyn said that volunteers are
needed to help with storytelling or
teaching the children crafts. 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.
