ir SER SESS June 19, 2003 ANDIE L. BRYMER/HERALD Steve Pin of the Schiele Museum uses a stuffed opos- sum to teach Grover Elementary students about animals during the school’s science camp. The students are also studying the solar system, rocks, minerals and weather. Arts, crafts and field trips are also part of the program. The Kings Mountain Herald Summer science program interests Grover students By ANDIE L. BRYMER Staff Writer Grover Elementary stu- dents let out a chorus of astonished shrieks Thursday morning when Schiele Museum science educator Steve Pin told them early settlers ate opossums. That piece of information was only a small part of Pin’s presentation to the stu- dents in the school’s sum- mer science program. During the four-week pro- gram, which started June 2, students are studying ani- mals, the solar system, weather and rocks and min- erals. “Kids love science,” school principal Jackie Lavender. “There is so much you can do.” Students are observing tadpoles mature into frogs and are then releasing the amphibians into a nearby creek. The students have made paper models of the solar system, stringing the planets onto a clothes hang- er. The school has become a “z00” of papier mache ani- mals created by the stu- dents. said Before telling students opossums had once gone on dinner tables, Pin showed them an opossum from the museum's collection.’ “I don’t know if it’s alive. I'm going to let you help me decide,” he told the stu- dents. They quickly guessed the hairy creature was a dead animal, deducing that from its failure to breathe and move. Pin then quizzed the stu- dents on what kangaroos and opossums have in com- mon. “They have a tail,” “they hunt for food,” “they come out at night,” students guessed. When no one could answer the question, Pin volunteered the answer - both female opossums and kangaroos have pouches to raise their young. “They (opossum babies) are as big as a dime when they're born,” Pin said. The tiny babies crawl into mom's pouch and stay there until growing larger. Pin also explained that opossums’ eyes often appear red when lit by car lights.

A question from a teacher prompted Pin to explain the expression “playing pos- sum.” The animal often lays completely still to fool potential predators into believing it is dead and worth no further attention. Pin also set up the muse- um’s portable planetarium inside the gymnasium. Students scrambled to “see the stars.” The Cleveland County Arts Council coordinated * the summer program’s cul- tural component. Dulcimer player Joe Collins and dancers from the Beth Mayo Company have entertained the students. The children made ceramic masks with artist Sally Jacobs. She will also teach them to make rain sticks. A visit by storyteller Jane Talbert and Shelby Police Officer Tony Walker is also on the agenda. Walker, a bike patrol officer, will talk about safety. Sue Beatenhead from Glaze N’ Amaze Pottery in Shelby is helping students make ceramic mugs and tiles. “These are the things you want to do in the (school) year but don’t have the time or funds,” Lavender said. Funding comes from a Page 7A state 21st Century grant and is administered through the Communities in Schools program. The program is free for students. In addition to programming, the grant pays for teachers, assistants and college interns and lunch and bus transporta- tion for the students. “For kids in a rural set- ting, it’s hard to get them here. It wouldn't be possible without the bus,” Lavender said. The program also includes field trips to the Schiele Museum planetarium and Martin Marietta’s Aggregates stone quarry. During its first two weeks, word of the program has gotten out in the communi- ty. Enrollment jumped from 27 students on the first day to 58 at the end of last week. The activities are so popu- lar with students, they do not want a day away from the Monday through Thursday program. They want to come tomor- row (Friday),” said Aja Pass, Grover Elementary’s CIS site director. Give Your Business The Edge That Local Advertising Can Give!
