Principal Coordinates Program COURTNEY MOSS Running laps around the school gymnasium was never * Ronald Nanney’s idea of an ef fective Physical Education pro gram. So last year the principal of Bethware School wrote his own curriculum from scratch and coordinated it with a special pro gram in music. He went to Gardner Webb College to invite student teachers to lead the courses of in struction and called on his P-TO group for financial support. The plan worked. This year Bethware students from Kindergarten through Fifth Grades are enjoying both PE and music on an almost-daily basis and Nanney is serving as teacher-supervisor for Gard ner Webb seniors Nancy Aber nathy, PE teacher, and Camilla Loomis, music teacher. The unique program is a model and probably the first in this area but under the arrange ment Bethware students have music and PE most every day, whereas they had been enrolled in weekly programs, like other students in the Kings Mountain District, and under the supervi sion of the regular teachers. Bethware P-TO bought $ 1,000 worth of equipment and materials for the new program and helped make some of the materials. For example, ball scoops were made from gallon size plastic milk jugs cut in half and lined with masking tape. Turned upside down and held by the handle the scoops made great catchers for tiny hands. Badmin ton stands were made by using scraps of wood nailed ap- "propriately and with a hole in the center for holding the poles. In addition to the indoor, out door games, the students enjoy clogging, aerobic dancing, Chinese ribbon dancing, tinikl- ing and all phases of movement education. “We have had numerous stu dent teachers at Bethware”, ex plained Principal Nanney, but these young ladies are the first to work on campus without fulltime teachers in the classroom with them at all times.” “The experience has been very good for us”, according to both young women who praised Nan ney for his leadership and for the I 7\' ' '-M } t ■ i Ronald Nanney opportunity to have the respon sibility of a elassroom teacher. “After working with Mr. Nan ney 1 feel that I’m ready to go in to the classroom next Fall”, said Miss Abernathy, Mrs. Loomis agreed. Principal Nanney, who said that he is asking Gardner Webb officials to continue the program again next Fall, says that next year’s program will be easier since lesson plans were developed this year and student progress has been charted. ‘This kind of endeavor is a pioneer effort but it is a way to have a continuous program for elementary students”, said Nan ney, who admitted the programs required a lot of work and plann ing initially but the results have been gratifying. Principal Nanney asked the student teachers to complete dai ly lesson plans, along with records of activities and equip ment and materials used in in structing PE and music to children at all age levels. On any given day he can be found “working out” with the kids or visiting in the classrooms. “Our Kindergarten students were always left out in these areas and we found that we could combine these programs and develop the talents of these young people”, he said. Some students’ initial reaction to a PE class was not enthusiastic but now there are few absences in either the music or PE classes. The kids like it. Nanney said that district school music teacher Shirley Austin and district PE teacher Kathy James were helpful in planning sessions and the stu dent teachers spent many hours observing both Mrs. Austin and Miss James in their classrooms before starting their full time jobs in March. Miss Loomis said that she is encouraging the “basics” in the music education program, from K to Fifth grades. “I want the youngsters to identify a line, space treble clef, and we are teaching them rhythm and body identification.” During a recent class exercise, the first graders wee passing bean bags to music and another class was rehearsing for a Symphony program scheduled later in the year. The students are encouraged to memorize their music. They are also learning aerobics and square dancing and like it. Miss Abernathy said that “In PE with younger students we wanted a lot of body movement and fun things that would help children like physical education and not dread it when they get to the higher grades. We em phasize fine and gross motor development which could be tied into pre reading instruction. With our older boys and girls we wanted more emphasis on skills which would benefit the students in future PE programs.” Principal Nanney said music students have familiarized themselves with various in struments on loan from Gardner Webb College. They have also been studying various composers and compositions by the North Carolina Symphony Orchestra. Much time has also been spent on the basic of music theory. The students have enjoyed play ing the rhythm instruments pur chased by the Parent-Teacher Organization. On several occasions the two classes combine for music and dance programs and they plan to present a joint program on May 11th to show the faculty and friends what they have learned. Bethware Fifth Graders will also demonstrate aerobics and square dancing for the May 11th program, which is open to the public. Mrs. Loomis, a senior music major from Lincolnton, says her teaching experience here has prepared her for her future. “1 feel that 1 will be ready to tackle a job in any elementary school”, she said. Both student teachers came to work at Bethware on March 16th. Their last day in the classroom and gymnasium will be May 13th. Both would like to stay.
