Beginning with breaks during SK A
testing, th e ir teacher. Debbie
Christensen began telling them
about different breeds of sheep
butchering the sheep to use the
skins, and the process involved in
shearing them icutting their hair > to
get the wool for processing
Second graders then began their

week plus of intensified study, each
student had a chance to explain
several of the steps in the process A
classroom fille d w ith bulletin
boards books, looms, a spinning
wheel, charts, pictures and articles
which the studnets had made helped
them with their presentation
"Heredity determines the wool
type, but the quality and strength
depends on the health and nutrition
during each year of the sheep's
growth
To test for weakness,
stretch a tuft of wool between your
hands, strum It with your index
finger If the staple gives like a faint
dull twanging sound and (he tuft will
not break." explains a student in
front of a bulleton board illustrating
terms like beauty, luster, elasticity,
uniformity, grease softness, char

Although we have been
continuing to do some of our daily
work. It seems like we have been
using a lot of class time on this one
project until all the aspects of the
project are considered Deter
mining which sheep breeds are
suited for each region ties in with
social studies learning that to get a
good price for the wool it is
necessary to keep the sheep clean is
economics "
The study also included history
Second graders demonstrated the
use of teasel which w as grow n to use
for carding the wool, then wooden
cards and finally a machine which
was developed for carding
Students used a drop spindle to
spin wool and were then able to keep
the yarn which they had spun They
also had a chance to try using a
spinning whhel and to try different
types of looms

bookmark made a sheep from pipe
cleaners and wool, made a toy cal

wool, and wrote a story tilled What

Kip C ity' The boys from Fortland are finally making it happen in the
NBA After suffering through a season that is sure to claim most of Jack
Ramsay s remaining hairs, the Blazers may have finally won the game that
silences the critics By the time this appears in print, the Fortland Dallas
series will have completed its third game but the second game is the one
that w ill keep them buzzing for awhile
The Blazers have labored under a choke tag all season hav ing earned a
well deserved reputation as a team that folded its tent in the last twro
minutes
In Saturday s second game of the playoffs, however, the
Fortlanders were anything but chokers Down ten points with under 2 00 to
plav and facing a deficit of two games to none the Blazers staged a gutsy
comeback to earn an overtime period then ran away from Dallas in the
extra session
For all the early back seat coaching it sure is nice to look up and see Sam
Bowie jvatrolling the middle of the lane It's also nice to have a few shooters
to go to when the game is on the line Maybe the Blazers won I win the Dallas
series If they do they'll be big underdogs to the Lakers Either way.
