Dobbins Elementary students paint for parents By ZACK SHIVELY zshively@vindy.com
Students at Poland Dobbins Elementary decorated ceramics to give to their parents on Dec. 20. Third- and fourth-grade students worked with Sue Holub, Poland Seminary High School’s art teacher, and her students to
paint the ceramics. Splash of Elegance provided ceramics and paint for the day. Dobbins Elementary principal Michael Daley said that the project allowed the students to give back to their families. He asked the students not to tell their families about the event, so they would be surprised. The students enjoyed the
activity. Many had fun painting the different ceramics. The students thought their parents would appreciate the gift. “It’s really fun that we get to be creative,“ said fourth-grader Delaney Demetrios, who painted a project for her dad. Holub and Daley have worked together for 16 years, when they both began working at the high
school together. Holub said they can reach out to each other whenever they need something. Dobbins Elementar y students have done this project in the past; however, only the fourth grade had done it in the past. This was the first year that everyone in the school did the project.

Mad Science’s “Fire and Ice” assembly centered around some experiments using fire and many using dry ice.
Mad Science at Union Elementary By ZACK SHIVELY zshively@vindy.com
Union Elementary School welcomed two guests from Mad Science to their school for an assembly on Nov. 21. The guests, Marcia Dilling and Lee Snider, performed a number of entertaining science experiments using dry ice. They put on two shows in the school’s gymnasium, one for the kindergarten students and another for the first and second grade. Mad Science offers educational experiences that teach students scientific concepts while providing them with an entertaining show. Snider joked, “it’s like slipping green beans into the casserole.“ She also referred to the performance as “fun with an educational twist.“ The “Mad Scientists“ began their “Fire and Ice“ presentation with an introduction using pseudonyms. Dilling took the name “Dr. M“ and Snider went by the name “Lightning Lee.“ They began by trying to fit an egg into a beaker. Dilling took suggestions from the students as to how to make the egg fit. First, she took off the shell and then she placed an open flame at the bottom of the beaker, which caused the egg to slip into the container. She explained to the students that the change in air pressure pulled the egg inward. They then took volunteers from the audience to use a hair drier to balance a ping pong ball in the air. Then, they grabbed

two other volunteers to balance an inflatable ball in the air using a leaf blower. The scientists introduced dry ice to the students. Dilling stressed safety when dealing with dry ice. They both pulled out metal tools and pushed them against the dry ice, causing a loud screech noise. They also placed a coin into the dry ice, which made the coin vibrate. Then, the two placed dry ice into a container, which caused smoke to come out quickly. They flavored the smoke to taste like soda and allowed the students to have a taste. The scientists dropped a block of dry ice into a container of liquid, which caused a bubbling reaction. The two grabbed the bubbles and tossed them to the students. Snider dropped a chunk of dry ice into a large beaker with liquid in it to cause a chemical reaction. The liquid in the con-
tainer began as purple, then it turned blue, then yellow, and then a greenish yellow to end. They called this their “rainbow reaction.” Then, she turned around and dropped a large chunk of dry ice into hot water to create a large fog across the stage in the gymnasium. They ended the program asking the children what they learned. The children answered that they learned about sublimation, dry ice and air pressure. Mad Science performs shows like these in schools and at bir t hday pa r t ies, scout ing events and camps. They also do hands-on tables at various locations. The company encourages a love for science. Dilling and Snider work for the Northeast Ohio chapter of Mad Science located in Canton. According to the Mad Science website, they have more than 86 locations spanning more than 20 countries.

Poland librarian Karen Steed used a teddy bear to help her teach American Sign Language during the library’s “ASL Baby Brilliant: Bonding with Babies and Books and Signs, Oh My!” event on Nov. 29.
ASL library lesson helps parents and babies communicate By ZACK SHIVELY zshively@vindy.com
Babies and parents met in the Poland library’s small children’s activity room on Nov. 29 for “ASL Baby Brilliant: Bonding with Babies and Books and Signs, Oh My!“ Karen Steed, a Poland librarian and former translator, ran the event. She placed a number of books for babies relating to American Sign Language on the a table near the door. These books were available for checkout. Steed began by showing the children a number of commonly used signs, such as “happy“ and “drink.“ She had a teddy bear with her that she could slip her hands into to demonstrate the signs. She came back to these signs at the end of the event. The group sang a number of songs throughout the event, similar to how the other Baby Brilliant events run throughout the PLYMC. They sang “The Noble Duke of York,“ “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star,“ “The Wheels on the Bus“ and “If You’re Happy and You Know It.“ Each song came with a set of physical in-
structions. They also did a song called “Shake Your Shaker“ in the style of “The London Bridge is Falling Down.” Steed passed out shakers for the song, and the parents and children shook along in rhythm. Steed gave directions, such as “shake on your toes,” and the children shook the shaker on their feet. Steed read two stories to the children. She first read “All of Baby, Nose to Toes“ by Victoria Adler. While she read, she had the children monition to their noses and other body parts as they came up in the story. She also had a book of “The Wheels on the Bus“ that she displayed while the sang the song. The children got to play after the stories and songs. Steed brought out small toys, the shakers and a tunnel that the babies could crawl through. The Poland library has offered this event every month since last fall. The Poland library does a number of Baby Brilliant events for young children every month. Steed also hosts a Snack And Sign event for school age children monthly as well.
