I Youngsters learn about famous places without ever leaving the classroom | BY COURTNEY GAILLARD THE CHRONICLE Preschoolers ai the Sarah Y. Austin Head Start Center spent last week traveling the country with their teachers, sort of. From Hollywood to Hawaii. New Orleans to New Mexico, these youngsters saw the country's most famous sites without leaving the classroom. Head- Start is a federally funded preschool develop mental enrichment program that serves at-risk minority children in the community. The Sarah Austin Center, which serves nearly 500 chil dren, is one of five Head Start sites in Forsyth County. There are over 900.000 chil dren in more than 2,500 Head Start programs in the coun try.

She said she and the rest of the staff enjoyed get ting in on the act of trans forming the classrooms into airports, train stations and ports. "They learn about bank^ ing and using their money, transportation and getting from one place to another. Some of them had never heard of Hawaii. They really learn a lot," Smith-Spencer said. One group of preschool ers was boarding a cruise ship in Atlanta, while Mar cellus Sunday, male/parent involvement specialist with Head Start, was explaining that the teachers wanted to teach the children about trav eling outside of their home town. With paper suitcases, boarding passes and cash in hand, the children set sail for Hawaii. "They're actually learn ing and experiencing how to leave home and go some where." Sunday said. Parents were nbtified of their children's (imaginary) travel itineraries beforehand so that they could help them to pack accordingly for their trip. The Apollo is a must-see stop when visiting the Big Apple. One class got its turn on stage as the children sang and danced for their class mates. Another group of trav elers sampled some salmon while in Alaska, where the temperature was much cooler than the Carolinas. Some petite travelers also dined at Spago's, a famous Beverly Hills eatery, and shopped at designer boutiques while in Los Angeles. A makeshift beach scene was constructed in one classroom so the kids could pretend to dip their toes in the Pacific ocean. Shelia Rucker. a Head Start teacher, said both the teachers and kids have enjoyed the week of make believe traveling. "They're using their cog nitive skills and learning ahout the culture in Califor nia. These are a lot of things that some of these kids have never experienced before. We want to let them see beyond Winston-Salem. North Car olina. and learn there's a big world out theret" Rucker said. Al Renna. CEO of Family Services, accompanied some of the children on their trav els Friday morning. Family Services is a nonprofit agency that administers a number of comprehensive programs and services - including Head Start - in Forsyth. Davie and Stokes counties. Renna said he enjoys the opportunity to mingle with the preschoolers and show some support for the teachers. "I think it's a wonderful experience for them to have. It makes them realize that there's a world bigger than the one that they live in. They learn how people can take charge of themselves and put themselves in different places and how a society works." Renna said. Republicans are propos ing a Head Start Reauthoriza tion Bill that would increase learning standards for preschoolers and training for teachers as well as give some states the option to manage See Around on c2 I Renna Students at the Sarah Austin Head Start Center celebrate the city of New Orleans during Travel Week. ?
