Summer Enrichment Program
A New World Of Study
What do chocolate eclairs,
puppets, computers, jewlry mak-
ing, algebra, and photography
have in common? Each subject
is unique unto itself. Yet, the en-
tire group mingled and flowed
together. They provided the
basis for the Summer Enrich-
ment Program for Academically
Talented Students.
Fifty-eight students in grades
four through nine enrolled in the
two week session. The program
was held at Kings Mountain
Senior High School from June
14-25.
How did all the subjects, par-
ticularly chocolate eclairs,
become part of the program?
The students assisted by the
parents helped select the
coursework. In March, the
students chose French, drama,
computer science, arts and
crafts, algebra, and photography
as subjects for the summer pro-
gram.
Students found a new world
of study.
In the French class, Mrs.
Mary Jo Blake taught her
students to appreciate French
foods like chocolate eclairs and
croissants. The class also practic-
ed speaking French and learned
French songs and culture. Mrs.
Blake is a teacher at Crest Junior
High School in Shelby.
In drama, Mrs. Cindy Wood,
a teacher at East Elementary
School, taught her students the
art of puppetry. Each student
learned ways to hold a puppet
and methods to display emotions
and expression. A puppet show
was presented at Parent’s night,
a final highlight to the two-week
session.
David Shellman, a teacher at
North Gaston High School in
Gaston County, conducted the
computer science class. In class,
students learned basic
knowledge of a computer. Eour
computers provided basis for:
practice. Each student learned to
complete programs provided as
well as to program simple pro-
blems.
Jewlry making was only one
of the arts and crafts provided by
Mrs. Jo Ellis in the art class.
Students also learned weaving,
quilting, and free form pottery.
Mrs. Debbie Pait, a teacher at
Central School, who presented
Elementary Algebra, focused on
basic concepts. As a highlight ac-
tivity, students in this class con-
structed geometric shapes with
straws.
1.G. Alexander, a teacher at
Kings Mountain Senior High
School, invited his photography
students to travel to Shelby daily
to participate in sessions. I1.G.’s
home serves as a studio for his
professional business in
photography. Students learned
to distinguish cameras and their
uses. I.G. also taught them to
take professional photographs
and to develop black and white
and color photographs.
One begins to question just
how so many interesting classes
could be offered to the
youngsters. According to Jane
Shields, Coordinator of Excep-
tional Children’s Program, the
process began as early as August,
1981. Ms. Shields and Mrs.
Carolyn Roark, teacher of the
Academically Talented,
prepared a grant proposal and
presented it to the State Depart-
ment of Public Instruction, Divi-
sion for Exceptional Children.
In October, the North
Carolina State Department
notified Kings Mountain
Schools of an award to be made
to train teachers and provide
materials for the Summer
Enrichment Program. Students
and Parents selected subjects to’
be taught by completing a ques-
tionnaire. ’
Locating appropriate teachers
became the next task. “Finding
‘qualified persons to teach the
selected areas provided a
challenge,” said Ms. Shields.
“Locating persons to teach
French and Computer Science
was especially difficult because
so many teachers work at other
jobs during the summer. Selec-'
ting quality personnel was a:
priority because we want the
students to have the best
teachers.”
As the result of the grant,
teachers selected were required
to participate in 20 hours of
teacher training. Model pro-
grams designed by national
educators Joseph Renzulli and
Frank Williams were presented
to the teaching staff earlier in the
spring.
‘Renzulli’s Enrichment Triad,
and William’s Creative
Divergent Thinking Model pro-
vided basis for study for the
teachers. During the training,’
taught by Mrs. Roark, each
teacher designed a program for
the summer school. |
According to Mrs. Roark,
director of the programs,
i
“Students were enthusiastic’
about all classes. When I visited
the classes each day I found so
many interesting lessons it was;
hard for me to leave.” She fur-
ther stated that parents were:
quite helpful with their interest!
and support.
