'Grandma' dresses with first graders at By Linda Butler l.ois Hannig, " T.'i-ycar-voung grandmother grand-mother from I'rovo loves to visit Mrs. Harper's Harp-er's first grade class at Valley View Element Ele-ment a ry, and spend an hour each week reading stories to the children. The students stu-dents love "Grandma's" visits. Kverv week throughout the school year, Hannig has donned a different costume and brought a satchel of hooks to share wit h her young friends. "She's amazing," said principal Clark I lansen. I'Lich week Hannig brings books that focus on a specific theme. I'rovo Children's Librarian Sharon Kuttler helps Hannig select about a half-dozen theme-related picture pic-ture books. Recently, dressed in a Superman Super-man costume, "Grandma" shared stories about, "t he good guys." The kids are excited, yet respectful, when "Grandma" visits and shares her stories. sto-ries. "This sure makes reading fun for the kids," said teacher Kenee Harper. The st udents enjoy all the different characters char-acters that. "Grandma" has been throughout, through-out, the school year. She's come dressed as up, shares stories Vailey View Elem. a tiger, Mother Goose, clown, magician, and even as a chicken. But the kids' favorite character was when she came dressed as a Fairy Godmother. As a "Fairy Grandmother," Hannig gave "each of the children a good wish. Hannig often involves the children in a brief book-related book-related activity. When she presented stories around a clown theme, Hannig had the children write a wish for the world on a paper which they tied onto helium balloons and released outside. It's not only fun for the kids, it's fun for "Grandma," too. "I'm on cloud nine, 10, 11," she said about her weekly visits. Although all 19 students in Mrs. Harper's class call Hannig "Grandma," she really is the grandmother grand-mother of student Ian Hannig. After the reading session, it's recess time, and Hannig Han-nig and Ian get to spend a little more time together. Then it's time for the students to continue contin-ue learning, and it's time for Hannig to return to her life in Provo. But the students can't help but smile and wonder, who is "Grandma" going to be on her next visit.

Expires 6 14 ( 02 Four Oak Canyon students nominal ii i I.'maiI s! ks s in i r to attena nauunui oucnuc- u By Harlow Clark Oak Canyon Jr. High has another accomplishment to add to its list of science achievements. Four students have been nominated to spend a week in Washington DC. competing compet-ing at the national science fair. Two years ago teachers Darren Hodges and Doug Pane'e received a $25,000 grant for the school (and $10,000 to share between them) from Intel to support a science program and kit they could take to area elementary ele-mentary schools. Applications for the fair are due in June, and the students should know by mid-summer if they're semi-finalists, and by August if they're going to D.C. Chelsey Brown won the Presentation Award, $20, at the BYU Central Utah Science Sci-ence and Engineering Fair, 1st Place - Physics, $30, Jr. Grand Prize, $50, the Intel Award of Excellence, $100, plus an $1138 one year tuition waiver to the College Col-lege of Eastern Utah, for her research on softball bats. "She didn't use aluminum alu-minum bats, only wood," said Pane'e. "She wanted to know what bat would hit the farthest. So she actually actual-ly mounted these bats on a clay pigeon thrower, which hit them off a tee." She used the pigeon thrower to give a consistent swing to all the bats, and tried to keep the weight and length of bat the same so that the wood was the only difference. Karley Nelson took first place in her category, Behavior Science, was also a Jr. Grand Prize winner, and also won the Intel Award of Excellence, which matches an award to the teacher. Nelson "staged a scenario sce-nario at school. They had somebody come in and steal something out of our class I, .

Then she came in and had the class Fill out forms as eye-witnesses, to see how reliable eyewitness testimony is. And they didn't have a clue." What the person stole was Pane'e's book, while he was standing in front of the class teaching from it. He said many of the students couldn't remember details like height or hair color, "did he have a hat, didn't he have a hat?" Scotty Watson, from Cherae Ecalono's class also did an experiment in behavior. "His was probably the funniest one," Pane'e said. "He put a child carrier on a car, and made like he had forgotten the child, and drove away, and recorded people's responses. He also put a Big Gulp on the car, and more people actually warned him about the drink than about the baby carrier." Pane'e said that the carrier car-rier was mostly above eye-level, eye-level, but Watson put a doll in it, anyway, and recorded how long it took people to stop him and what they said. "He had a lot of fun with this." 17 i m crista ireu, the fov- nominee, took first Pact, Botany for her proj!;' growing a mustard s(. plant in Pepsi.
