indergarten Hooray for Thanksgiving The kindergartners celebrated Thanksgiving in the spirit of the first Americans by dressing as pilgrims, Indians, and even turkeys. In the weeks prior to the holiday, the kinder- gartners learned what Thanksgiving really meant. They kicked off their holiday studies by taking a field trip to Pinnacle Mountain where they listened to Jack Pratt, dressed as Squanto, tell the story of the first Thanks- giving. Kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Fitton, said. Thanksgiving was a real neat time for the children to learn about the history of our country as well as sharing with others. The finale to the Thanksgiving unit was the Hooray for Thanksgiving program on Wednesday, November 26. The parents were invited to watch their children sing songs and present a Thanksgiving program. C..I. Murphy described his role, I was a turkey. My Mom didn't take pictures because she forgot her camera. After the program, the kindergartners enjoyed refreshments with their parents. The kindergartners benefitted from this program because it allowed them to celebrate Thanksgiving with their friends, Jaime Robertson summed up her Thanksgiving by saying that, I thought the program was fun and I liked the singingthe best of all. I got to go to Gramma's the next day to eat lots of turkey. Howl Ben Pierce, dressed in his Indian costume, speaks hisvpart in the Thanksgiving program. The program was the finale to the kindergarten Thanksgiving unit.

re-School Front and Center Pulaski Academy prides itself with an education system that is second to none. Education at P.A. does not begin in kindergarten, but in the three and four year old preschool classes. These classes prepare the students for all the studying, learning, and enjoyment that they will experience later in their schooling. One of the aspects of the preschool classes that made them so special was a program called Center Time. Every morning ofthe school year, the first thirty minutes of class were devoted to Center Time. This program consisted of designated play areas in the classroom, each area teaching a different lesson. The preschoolers could choose from centers ranging from arts and crafts, to sandboxes and play houses. The centers not only served to entertain as well as educate the students, but the center time proved to be vital for the teachers. They utilized the time to take the roll, and review their lesson plans. I really value the time because it allows me to do my morning jobs while teaching them at the same time, said Mrs. Morris, the four year old teacher. The centers taught the students how to share with othersas well as how to relate with each other. Center Time also served as a interesting way ' to assimilate the preschoolers to the structure of classrooms. Their time spent, and the lessons learned in the preschool rooms will be remembered later in their continuation of their education at P.A. Counting on it. Sandra Oliver learns to count by using the popsicle sticks in the main center.
