kindergarten postem-wilson 221 Macheiie Postern Patrick Ramsey Lisa Stotfreger Anita Strickland Students Learn Better When They Are Involved After the first month of initial adjustments to the school atmos- phere, the kindergarten teachers started teaching basic reading skills. Each week they focused upon one particular letter of the alphabet as their Letter of the Week. Many of the week ' s activi- ties were centered around this let- ter. For example, the first week was Rr weeks. They planned to: Make Rag Dolls. Take a Rocket Trip to Mars. Make Rice Knspies Candy. Run Relay Races Learn Rhymes, etc. During that week, the students practiced writing the letter Rr and stressed the Rr sound. Whatever the letter or skill being taught, the kindergarten teachers actively engaged the child because children learn better when they are involved.

The two groups took a number of field trips They presented a Christmas program and a spring program The TMR class made many different things dur- ing the year, one of which was a Halloween basket made from balloons and papier-mache. They also made kites for spring and Valentine men on Valen- tine ' s Day. At Thanksgiv- ing, they created turkeys out of beans. The special ed. classes also had a few guests who came i n to talk to them, including a policeman and a nurse. Even a fireman came in and showed the students a film. The EMR class studied a unit on community helpers. They concluded this unit by taking a trip to the fire department, police station, post office, radio station, telephone company, library, and mayor ' s office. On a trip they took to Bir- mingham at Christmas, they went to see and talk to Santa.
