T’ine in “Voice or l'ne Fron tier”, thrice weekly! w ■■ p a pg I Mii> W ***5 gg| ■ i Fairness to Five’s Challenging (No. 4 in series) By JEAN LIVINGSTON Special Correspondent “Now is the time to be fair to the five’s.” This statement is a challenge to the parents of the 5-year-olds who will taste their first school experience this fall. It is a chal lenge to the teachers, who must teach tnese 5-year-olds and make the beginner grade the success ion of enriching activities which it should be. It is a challenge to the school board members who must pro vide the necessary materials needed for beginners. A large part of the challenge to parents is a challenge to under stand. Understand that for 5-year-olds sorting square blocks from tii angular blocks is not a waste ot time, but is the beginning of the means by which the child learns i that the word “Dick” looks dif ferent from the word “Jane” when he begins to learn to read. Understand that visual dis crimination (now you won’t blink when Johnny’s teacher throws this $10 word at you) simply means learning to note differences, and must come be fore formal reading can come. Understand that this visual discrimination should be taught in dozen of different ways, all of which may seem like play to Johnny, unknowing the purpose behind it all. Understand that Johnny learns even while he’s playing with other youngsters—learns to share, to take turns, to be inde pendent as well as cooperative in a social group. Understand that a good kin dergarten does not exist in order that Johnny memorize the num bers from one to one hundred and the alpahabet in sequence; it exists in order to build the solid foundation for pleasant, permanent learning in Johnny’s school career. Adults are are al lowed 13-years of elementary and secondary education, per haps followed by four or more additional years in college before being expected to launch their professional careers. Why not, then allow a a year-old one year of prepara tion before launching his school career? When parents are acquainted with and understand the pur poses of a good kindergarten, then they will demand such a program for their 5-year-old. “Now is the time to be fair to the fives ” Here is a challenge to you busy rural teachers to find additional minutes in an al ready overcrowded schedule for teaching another grade when you perhaps already have eight dif ferent levels. And as for suitaoie prepared material, there is so very little with which to work. So another challenge: to be con stantly creative. Create varied learning activities so that while Johnny may be continuously practicing one particular skill, the presentation and procedure will be changing in order to hold his interest. Create learning pro cesses which a kindergartner can carry on independently while the teacher is busy with other trades. Create a kindergarten atmosphere for the five s when they are surrounded by many other age levels. The teachers know and strive to meet the challenge. Few others realize the tremen dous effort required to “be fair ! to the five’s” in a rural school. Although the five's may not require many textbooks, maps, globes, etc., the well-informed school board member realizes * that there is other equipment necessary for a successful be ginner program. The section of the Nebraska course of study devoted to the beginner grade lists 45 items es sential ina ny school accepting beginners. Most of the items, such as cardboard boxes, sand table, cloth scraps, calendar numbers, can be placed in the schoolhouse with no expense involved. Over half of the remaining items could be purchased for fifty cents or less. So expense should not pre vent the school board from meet ing its share of the challenge. How will the five’s be faring in your school’s kindergarten this fall? Treated as babies? (They are so small, all they can ao is play. Just let them color pictures. Give them anything to Keep them busy.) Treated as young adults? (Make them stay in their seats for hours. Keep their immature eyes squinting at small print. Expect their phys ical stamina to be equal to that of their fellow schoolmates?) Or will your live’s progress accord ing to their capabilities, best ex pressed by the following quotes from an educational brochure: "F‘ive-year-olds have active brains. They are ready for facts, for information about people aad places, for adventure from good books. “Five-year-olds are old enough for science. They have questions about plants, animals, people, weather, machines. Their minds are busy. They want to experi ment. "Five-year-olds are big enough for social studies. They want to start learning about the world they live in. “Five-year-olds are mature enough to listen to good music, and to create music of their own. They are mature enough to see good pictures, and to paint pic tures of their own. They can be hard workers with blocks and clay. “Five-year-olds are old enough to use their bodies well. They can climb and run and build. Give them space, good equipment, good teachers and they will grow even stronger and better coordinated. So, parents, be informed about the aims of the beginner grade; school board members, make pro vision for the small items of equipment which bring such big results; and together help the teacher to be fair to the five s when they begin their school life this fall.
