UTAH Hello Mother . . . 13.7 Million People Will Call Sunday distance directory assistance operator before Mother's Day. If Mom lives outside the U.S., it's especially im-portant to have her number ahead of time. Many mothers will be receiving a special reward on Sunday, May 8, when an estimated 13.7 million family members will be calling to express their love and ap-preciation. Kenneth O. Hill, Utah Public Relations Manager has several tips for getting the most out of a Mother's Day call. Dial the call yourself if possible. Dialing direct saves time and money because an operator's assistance isn't required. In most cases, dialing direct is also the fastest way to complete a call. Timing will help. Calls placed between noon and 5:00 p.m. will avoid the busier times of the day. Calling peaks are also on the hour and the half hour, so calls placed at other times will also go through faster. Planning helps as callers are able to cover more sub-jects in less time by jotting down things they want to talk about. Interesting family news tidbits are less likely to be forgotten. If you aren't sure of the number or if Mom has a new one, get it from the long fc- t . ; I J? . ,f I I r v . - , . . v ' - v C " K ' -- 5- .

Treats Are Given as Reward The third grade students at Lindon Elementary set a goal at the beginning of January that each student would learn their times tables 1 through 9 before mid-Apri- l. The teachers, Dixie Kotter and Annette LeBaron promised a treat for those reaching their goal. The students worked hard for two months studying and testing. Finally the deadline came and the reward received. Cupcakes and sprite floats were served. There wasn't a student that didn't feel the whole effort wasn't worth it. Not only the reward or treat was received, but a very necessary tool of lear-ning was achieved - times tables. "Give me a student that knows his or her times tables and I can easily teach them to multiply and divide." This is a truism believed by most teachers. Congratulations go to the third graders from all, especially the upper grade teachers at Lindon, because you will make their jobs more exciting by allowing them to offer more arithmetic lear-ning.

Special Programs for Parents Helen Harper and piano ac-companiment was provided by Mrs. Maxine Fugal. Grovecrest Elementary First and Fourth Grades held a program for their parents and families April 21st. The First Grade programs theme was centered around a loving home where the children can have fantastic dreams and hope that they can someday come true. They dreamed about cowboys, Indians, dolls, clowns, dragons, lollopop trees and hating to get up in the morning because of all the great things they could dream about. But when the morning came and they could see the Robins on the window sills then it turned into a wonder-ful day. Teachers of the First grade are Gloria Despain and Deanne Dayton. "A House Becomes a Home" was presented by Grovecrest Elementary 4th grade students. The theme of the program emphasized that it takes "a Heap of Living" in a house to make it Home. The thought was projected that a house becomes a home when joy, kindness, under-standing, forgiveness, con-sideration, patience, ap-preciation, and sharing are ever-prese- in the house. All family members need to develop these qualities in themselves, so .that "love" n bp an outgrowth of these qualities. The impor-tance of family togetherness in both fun times and sad times was also emphasized through word and music. The children presented their parents a colorful lei as a symbol of their love for them. Appreciation was expressed for the part that parents play in making an "ordinary house" become a "home". The narration for the presentation was written by Ohare uith Doubling up can cut your commut-ing expenses in half. And make the daily grind twice as nice. Two arc more fun than one.

WASATCH BANK FDIC University Mall - Orem 224-1- 11 Santaqum Office WASATCH BANK OF PLEASANT GROVE 225 South Mam School z and Home 7j by Dr. Daryl J. McCarty W Executive Secretary Utah Education Association ' Do not be surprised, kind father, if you emerge from the bathroon and find your son staring intently at his wristwatch, clucking his tongue and shaking his head in disapproval. He may have just graduated from a new short course that is being in-troduced in elementary schools across the state. It's a dry subject: Drought. This "unit" on water con-servation is teaching fourth, fifth and sixth-grad- e students everything from making rain to computing the amount of water Dad used while taking that shower. The "textbook" for this course is prsented partly in comic strip form; but that's only half the story. This book is stuffed with projects aimed at making kids aware of something we adults know, but often forget to practice: You don't have to drench to quench. Students taking this course will learn how to read the home water meter, measure rainfall, how much water it takes to grow a bean plant, and figure how many gallons of water escape through the nozzle of your garden hose. The course encompasses such subjects as arithmetic (finding a leaky faucet and calculate its rate of water loss each day(; climatology (plot-ting the water needs for two cities using temperature graphs); science (distilling ocean water); social science (if City "A" on a map were set-tled 50 years before City "B", what effect would the development of C have on A's water supply?); language (a water use crossword puzzle); and even music (a song on page 29). It's a good example of making lessons significant. Beside all the water con-servation material in the book, there's a message on the back cover from Governor Scott Matheson. He asks the students to relay their ideas on saving water to him via the teachers. Who knows? Youngsters are surprisingly bright, and maybe we adults will be helped through the coming dry spell by those who are wet behind the ears. Why not sit down and discuss this matter with your child? In learning, you'll help the drought situation. |
