LORA’S LAST STORY

Kindergarten did not exist in many of the public schools back in the 60’s. In most cases children jumped right into First Grade with reading, writing and arithmetic. Hagerman Schools were no exception. I loved the little first grade posters with a horse in a different color on each one, but I already knew my colors.

The reading program of choice back in that time featured three siblings. The youngest was definitely my favorite! I loved her little blue dress and mischievous ways. The idea behind reading in the sight word era was to say the same words repeatedly over and over in short sentences until we memorized whole words.

I was so proud of myself when I was finally able to read the word 'something’. It happened to be one of the more difficult words in our beginner’s reading book, I had it down! In the sight word method. The more often we read the word, the more apt we were to remember them. There would eventually be hundreds of words to remember! However, everything changed when my class was introduced to individualized phonics.

After Christmas that year we were given a workbook. The front of the brown workbook had large letters in tan and beige that spelled ‘PHONICS’. I didn’t know what the word meant. We were to fill out the phonics book at our own pace. Up on the wall by the chalkboard there

Graphology Aysanalys

Impulsive

Anyone who has a consistant slant to the right is considered impulsive or impetuous. They tend to react and then, think about it later.

The farther to the right that a person writes, the more impulsive they tend to be. Which is not good if someone cuts them off in traffic or says something they don’t like. Tempers can flare quickly.

On the other hand, if the individual is an EMT, they would need to act quickly using their training.

If this describes your writing and you would like to be less impulsive, you can work on making your writing more upright. Doing so will retrain your brain and make you more apt to think before you act.

Change your handwriting, change your life...

was a chart for the amount of books each first grader read. Some students were competitive, however I moved at my own speed. I loved looking at the pictures in books. If we were really quiet we could have extra classroom library time, so I didn’t dare say any of the phonics sounds out loud in the ‘Individualized’ phonics book. I just thought about them! If I was quiet enough I could earn extra library time.

We had four reading groups: Bluebirds, Redbirds, Yellowbirds and extras. I don’t remember if I was in the Yellow Bird’s or the Red Bird’s Group, because all I wanted was to be in the Blue Bird’s Group. Blue was my favorite color. I could only hope to move over, but

never did! The Blues just got faster and the rest of us didn’t. I could tell you to this day who was in the Blue Group. Most of these classmates were the oldest kids in the class. They learned the fastest and also earned the most construction paper books on the reading chart.

The extras group consisted of two children who needed extra help. I can also easily remember their names to this day. I wondered when they would be assigned a bird color. I would have gladly given up my spot and moved over to the Blue group.

I think somewhere back in time I was destined to become a teacher. I was the youngest in my class and good at daydreaming, or

so I was told. At age five, I barely slipped into first grade under the wire by about a week. I think that the struggle through school made me a compassionate teacher later in life. I learned survival skills in school. I noticed that students who knew the answers received rewards, praise and were given gold stars. I learned to get by on a smile. It was my nature. Gold stars were not necessary. I just was happy with being me and looked forward to recess.

Back in those early 60’s days, there were many outdoor games we played on the playground. Many kids brought games from home such as marbles, jacks and pick up sticks. I enjoyed them all! We played ‘Red light green

TWIN FALLS COMMISSIONERS: In 2020, the Twin Falls County Commissioners developed a master plan that included moving the Juvenile services to our County West facility and a large portion of our Sheriff’s Office to the Wright Avenue facility. The goal was to efficiently utilize existing County land and infrastructure to solve the inmate overcrowding issues within the Jail. Twin Falls County currently pays over $700,000 to house inmates in other county jails in addition to the local inmates, which has been up to fifty per day, that are...

up in Hagerman

obediently obliged, majoring in Elementary Education and later received a Master’s in Curriculum and Instruction. I taught for over 35 years, mostly in public elementary schools. I had the privilege of teaching in the first, second and third grade classrooms for many years giving the children wonderful classroom experiences of writing, editing, memorizing and performing plays with costumes and props on stage. I set my rooms up with creative activities, learning centers, art and writing projects, daily note taking, plays to be performed on stage, all school k-6 music performances in the school gymnasiums.

Other teaching positions I held were that of Title 1 teacher for 1st-5th grades, elementary school librarian, ESL tutor, Music and Performing Arts teacher for 1st-6th. I planned and choreographed many elementary Christmas and spring performances, as well as a program to honor the Veterans on Veterans' Day.

My granddaughter and I have created several dance videos, performed and shared music, singing at various events with guitar and piano. She and I are currently practicing and preparing to be in the play ‘School of Rock’ with the Magic Valley Dilettante Group at CSI, the end of February and beginning of March of this year. [ed: 2024]

I am volunteering to write for the Magic Valley News. Back in the summer of 2022 my sister, Cheryl Sandy Miller, happened to be visiting with CJ Holmes, our Magic Valley

Growing up in Hagerman -

News creator, editor and publisher. CJ asked Cheryl if she knew anyone who could write. Without hesitation, Cheryl said my sister Lora can write. CJ then reached out to me about writing and the rest is history (no pun meant).

It is my pleasure to share my stories with the Magic Valley News readers. CJ has now made them available online for any that were missed. Magicvalleynews.com [ed: issues June 2022 to May 2024].

I had a wonderful childhood in Hagerman and those days are etched in my mind. I am hoping to one day put all the short stories together in a book form for my kids to read in the future and others to enjoy. Life is a lot different now than it was in the 50’s and 60’s. Preserving those special memories is my gift to the future..

If I can bring a smile to someone, it’s all worthwhile. I honestly don’t know how I can remember so many details of my childhood. I can only write the history from a young person’s perspective. It was a good life and so innocent back then. I had freedom on our farm where my mind could expand, to be imaginative and also inquisitive.

Our mom, dad and grandparents led by example. They were from the depression era and World War II time when nothing was taken for granted. The people were hard working people, as were their friends. Everyone helped each other.

I want to thank my sister Cheryl for volunteering me to write. It’s not the first time she has volunteered me in one way or another. Thank you to CJ for her assistance in final edits. To other friends and family: Florence Mary, Mark, Allie, Chad, Anna, Travis, Steve, Robert, Ruth, Catherine, Coletta, John, Sivita, Pete, Kathy, Marie, Aysa and all others who have given me encouragement, ideas, editing time, history information, cheering me on and lovingly standing by my side throughout the last few months of writing about “Growing up in Hagerman Valley”. Also, a big thank you to my readers and much appreciation for the kind comments! You are why I keep writing! To you I am truly grateful!

Obituary on Page 25

Story to be continued by Lora’s sister “I hope to carry on the writing tradition in honor of my beloved Sister...gone too soon... starting in June.” Cheryl Sandy Miller

Lora Sandy Silver Lewis went to be with Jesus on April 2, 2024, in her home, surrounded by family. Lora was born on September 7, 1955, the daughter of Alfred and Florence Mary Sandy of Hagerman. Growing up on the family farm and ranch on Billingsley Creek provided an ideal backdrop for childhood exploration. Lora was always a curious, active, and friendly young girl who kept busy finding newborn kittens near the haystack, floating in the creek with friends, and assisting her dad as he milked the cows morning and night. Her activities were varied as she fed the bum lambs in the springtime, along with her older sister, Cheryl, and her younger brother, Robert. It was always exciting to see how many lambs could be fed at once. Lora could usually handle six bottles at once while her youthful stance shook and the fuzzy little lambs eagerly drank. She raised her lamb, Tabitha, to adulthood, and when it came time to show and then sell her lamb, she threw her arms around it, refusing to let go. Of course, her father decided she could keep the lamb as a pet. Tabitha lived a long time and became a lead sheep in the family sheep business. For years to come, Tabitha would come out of the band of sheep to visit Lora. Lora’s love for writing blossomed as she became a young reporter for the Gooding Leader, commenting on their 4-H club activities…. [continued online]

A graveside service will honor Lora at the Hagerman Cemetery on May 4, 2024 at 10:00 am, immediately followed by a Celebration of Life at the Hagerman United Methodist Church, 270 Salmon St E. The family requests everyone to wear bright colors to celebrate in Lora style.
