| | | A Page 12A-THE KINGS MOUNTAIN HERALD-Thursday, May 12, 1994 Janet Anthony's world is made up of five-year olds. And she wouldn't have it any other way. “1 prayed a lot before 1 changed from a fourth grade classroom to a second grade classroom and then a Kindergarten class but I've found my calling.” said Anthony, a 17- year veteran teacher who came home to Kings Mountain three yOars ago. Anthony is Bethware School's Teacher of the Year. Anthony taught 14 years in Henry County, Va. and returned to her hometown to teach second grade for two years before the kindergarten opening came at Bethware this school year. A graduate of the local school system, Anthony said she complet- ed a month of independent study of this system's first grades as a col- lege student. After being certified in K-4 at Lenoir-Rhyne College, she moved with her husband, Thomas Anthony Jr., to Virginia and earned a second certificate in special education and learning dis- abilities from the University of Virginia. . "Young children are so eager to learn but they need a lot of direc- tion," said Anthony, who said one of her primary goals is to teach kids how to get along with other kids and how to interact in the spe- cial Centers in the busy classroom. Learning the alphabet and sounds, planting seeds, and even planting a tree in memory of a former class- mate are all in a day's work in her classroom. Anthony said she had never real- ly decided that teaching would be her career choice until one day in Biology lab she felt queasy when she was told to do a certain project. "l decided 1 didn't want to be a nurse," she laughed. Anthony follows in her mother's footsteps. Edie Bridges retired from West School after 30 years as a first grade teacher. She also for- merly taught kindergarten at First Baptist Church where her daughter went to kindergarten under Mrs. R. G. Whisnant. Anthony said she hopes to make a difference in a young child's life by what she te: hes her 27 stu- dents. Ler assistant, Dena Allen, said that Mrs. Anthony is, indeed, a role model. "My whole life has changed and I give her the credit," said Allen. A Kings Mountain native, Anthony is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Bridges. She walks for fun, sews, and enjoys reading Anthony said her whole family is glad to be settled again in Kings Mountain. Tom works with AEP- CO in Hickory. Emily, 13, is a sev- enth grade middle school student. Eric, 10, is a fourth grader at Bethware School. They are all 'ac- tive in First Baptist Church. Six of her 17 years as a class- Anthony Bethware Teacher of the Year room teacher have been spent with five-year-olds. She plans daily lessons and ad- justs her methods and approaches to meet the unique needs of the in- dividual children in her care whether their need: -are academic, social or home-related. "I am responsible for building positive self-esteem in my young students, says Anthony. "I want them to ask questions, to feel unafraid to take risks, to learn how to get along with others and develop a healthy curiosity." Instilling a love for books is an- other area Anthony stresses be- cause she discovered at a young age the joy, pleasure and excite- ment of reading.
