Although all teachers throughout the nation have -not yet implemented this Kidea, it is being carried out :-;in the Early Childhood ' program in the Perquimans County schools. The 'program is aimed at children enrolled in '-kindergarten through the third grade. ', Perquimans County has . t four kindergarten classes "'with 26 children to a class, even though the program is fairly new. Each class is staffed with one teacher and ;an assistant. Three of the classes are funded with state money, but in order to ''serve more of the county's children a fourth class is ; -being funded with local 'jnoney. , The projected state timetable is that by 1978 all 5 year olds in North Carolina ;will have an opportunity to 'attend a state supported kindergarten. The . Early Childhood program is personalized and "'child centered. It is --'designed so that children 5 may be happy with themselves and develop at Itheir pace. Pat Harrell, ' assistant superintendent of 'county schools said, "We recognize the fact that children come to school with 'experiences of their own and ihat they view these Experiences differently, and ' this should be their reason Jor learning." 'J. The program is geared toward constant involvement in a variety of activities. One way that the r county schools has been able ;to do this is through the LOUTH ?7 mi Arm OM SOUTH 17 HWT. J9V44 And 1 MGeechiaDan Hertford, N.C., Thursday. October WO Oil .... :W implementation of interest centers, where students may work independently or in small groups. This supports the idea that children can learn a lot of things if given the opportunity as well as the concept that learning can and should be fun. County teachers who work with kindergarten through third grade have received special instructions in order to better implement the Early Childhood program. These teachers recognize the factors mentioned above and based on this, they design their curriculum and classrooms to be child centered instead of teacher centered. One of the reasons that the program is successful is due to the cooperation among these teachersand their willingness to share and exchange ideas. The teacher assistants have played an integral part in helping to construct and successfully carry out the ideas involved in the program. A tour, through the classrooms might yield at first glance, an appearance of all fun and no work. But an informed observer would realize that each activity has a purpose behind it. As Harrel put it, "It's structured fun, not unstructured free play." Through the various classroom activities, the Iprogram is aimed to aid the V child in physical, social, and emotional growth. The children learn to work and play together. Creativity plays a major role in the program by allowing the childen to explore their abilities. 1 FIRST DRIVE-IN SHOWING AND FIRST TIME TOGETHER COME LATE AS 9:30-SEE A COMPLETE SHOW FRL-SAT. SAT.
