June 5, 2()02 THE NEWS-JOURNAL Raeford, N.C. 7A Car pays visit to Raeford eye clinic—without an appointment By Pat Allen Wilson Editor Barbara Malloy had just left the laboratory and walked across the wait ing room in the Raeford Eye Care clinic when she heard an explosion. She immediately asked herself, “What have 1 left in the lab that blew up?” Wednesday afternoon’s crash that had others in the clinic thinking of the World Trade Center towers and that possibly a bomb had exploded was actually a car crashing through the front wall of the building. Dana Michelle Rozier, 22, of Charlotte’s 1995 Honda had gone be yond the parking space and was al most halfway into the building. The vehicle’s air balloon opened, and Rozier received only scratches. Firefighters were called when the smell of smoke was detected, but no danger of fire was found. Dr. Tom Inman said the noise from the collision ‘‘sounded like the build ing was coming down.” He said Rozier climbed out the window. "She was upset,” he recalled. "I'm just so happy nobody was in there,” he said, indicating the shat tered room. Malloy said she would make sure she was on the front pew at church the following Sunday. "I’ll definitely be on my knees,” she added. Raeford police investigated the acci dent. ( "I r ( X Scenes from a car’s crash into Raeford Eye Care clinic. Parents as Teachers: Baby was born to learn Rhymes and songs—having fun with your baby It is no accident that nursery rhymes, lullabies and children’s songs have been passed along for generations. Both babies and par ents enjoy them! When you share rhymes and .songs with your baby, he is learning language and getting to know you better. Here are several ways rhymes and songs can help your baby learn. Repetition Many children’s rhymes and songs have words of phrases that are repeated several times. Your baby learns to expect what's com ing. Because the words are repeated over and over, his brain becomes •better organized to hear and speak language. Because he lets you know he likes them, you are likely to repeat your baby’s favorable rhymes over and over. He can participate even if he isn't talking yet. For example, many babies learn to clap their hands as soon as they hear the beginning of the nursery rhyme, “Pat-a-cake, Pat-a-cake, Baker’s Man!” Because they have heard that nursery rhyme many times, they know what to do. They are beginning to associate the sounds of words with the actions, an early form of memory. To emphasize repetition you can: • Choose rhymes and songs that have repeated phases or verses. • Use inflection in our voice to highlight repeated phases. • Pause slightly before a repeated phrase to allow your baby time to Extension Today Sharon Peterkin Think of what's coming next. • Notice what rhymes and songs your baby likes and repeat them frequently. Rhythm Your baby was born with rhythm! From early sucking to banging his spoon on his high chair, many of his actions are rhythmic. Hearing the rhythm of songs and poems attracts your baby’s attention and can calm him. When your baby hears a familiar lullaby, he associates it with be ing calm and drowsy. This helps him go to sleep. To emphasize rhythm you can: • Move your baby to the beat of a song or poem; for example bounce your baby on your knee while reciting a favorite nursery rhyme. • Pick your baby up and dance to your favorite type of musie, moving to the beat. • Move your baby’s arms or legs rhythmieally to a song, a rhyme, or even a sports cheer! • Rock your baby and sign a lullaby to calm him. Rhyme The rhyming words in songs and poems help babies hear similar sounds. Because rhythm and rep etition keep your baby’s attention, he will focus on the words he hears. Learning to recognize the similar sounds in words that rhyme helps your baby develop language and will help them learn to read when he is older. To emphasize rhyme you can: • Choose books with rhyming text to read to your baby. • Make up rhymes just for him. • Pick a word, then tell your baby all the words you can think of that rhyme with it. • Read and recite nursery rhymes to your baby ever day. The ‘ Born to Learn Add-a-Page' book is a good source for rhymes and songs. Have fun Just have fun sharing rhymes and songs with your baby. Because babies are naturally attracted to them, your baby will give you a big reward for your efforts! When you enjoy rhymes and songs with your baby, you are creating a closeness that will last a lifetime. The Parents as Teachers Pro gram is located inside NC Coop erative Extension at 116 W.
