She helps Caroline, who asked to be placed in the children with their reading, math, a hearing impaired class, plans to spelling, and art, and also makes up some tests. Patience, one necessity for any teaching career, would seem even more important in a special class. However, Caroline stressed that she loved children so much, especially these, that it was very hard to become impatient with them. Every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, Caroline along with the other teacher’s aides who taught in different schools around the county do not report to Burns. Instead, from 8:00 until 10:15 they work in their as- signed classrooms. Then on Mondays and Fridays they have classes and share experiences from the diaries they are required to keep. “It’s a very rewarding experience for me, and it makes me feel wonder- ful when a student takes his time and teaches me something new,” com- mented Caroline with a smile. TOP: Caroline is having each student to write their own spelling words that they must learn each week. BOTTOM: Brian Gettys places a bone into the dogs mouth. The object of the game is to read the word on the bone and sign it, then place it in the dogs mouth. Child Care 91

Neus Ag Proposal Pianned Fight to nine years is the time prop- osed for completion of the Burns Agri- cultural Lab Proposal. The lab, headed by agricultural direc- tor, Don Elliot plans to use the wooded area on the east side of the school as a small orchard, a vineyard, blueberry patch, and a lot for growing Christmas trees. The total cost of the project is not yet known, but it is estimated to be in the thousands of dollars. Halloween 1980 was very special was very special for the children of North- side Childrens Center. Some FBLA members dressed up in costumes, vis- ited the center, and passed out candy. Senior Johnnette Dellinger commented, “It was a great experience! I have al- ways enjoyed being around kids and this topped it all.” “The children seemed to really enjoy the visit,’ said senior Richard Carson. He added, ‘‘The staff thanked us and welcomed us back in the future.” Johnnette and Richard agreed that it was a heartwarming experience that not many people get to participate in. They will both remember it for a long time. FFA FHA 93
