WRITING TO READ

MiKey Tallman, Christie N. Murphy,

and Ashley N. Davis began the _year

with great expectation. The class

had been scheduled to contirue with

the Writing To Read System this

year.

Writing to Read is a computer

based instructional system designed

to develop the writing and reading

sKi 1Is of' Kindergarten and first

grade students. The system worKs

within the context of a planned

learning center called the Writing

To Read Center. In this center,

the students use a variety of

language arts materials and

equipment organized as 1earning

stations by the classroom monitor,

Mrs. J. Hunter..

Miss C. A.

Mitchell of GSD and Miss S. Jordan

of Cave Spring Elementary are the

educational managers and, as such,

are able to assist all students and

guide them according to their

needs.

The basic features ot ttle Writ 1 ng to Read Syste~ the children are required to learn are: 1) the alphabetjc principle and a
consistent phonemic spelling system; 2) how to use a computer as a guide or tutor; 3) how to control the computer and the rate of learning, also no peer pressure; and 4) the abi 1 i ty to develop the sKi lis to express ideas on the level the student is most comfortable. The chi 1 dr .en at GSD are 1earning that "sign i ng"/speaK i ng, 1 i sten i ng when it is possible, and reading can be converted into writing. Their social sKills with their hearing peers have been positive. MiKey Tallman's footbal 1 peers maKe sure they .get his attention. "MiKey, MiKey, that's MiKey, Hi!"
Miss C. A. Mitchell's Class
WILD WEST MAGIC SHOW
On Octobe~ 27, Mr~. Dempsey had
David Ginn come to GSD and do a magic show. Th~ name of the show was "Wild West . Magic Show." We learned a lot and enjoyed watching the magic. It was good.
We learned about cowboys, Indians, cattle, guns, ropes, snaKes, and buffalo. Before 1493, there were no horses or cows in North America. Indians hunted buffalo by walKi~g. Horses and cows came from Spain. In 1519, more cows came from Cuba. The first real cowboys were Indians. The second cowboys were Mexicans, and the third cowboys were blacK men. We learned about the three tools of the cot.vboy: 1. guns, 2. lariat <rope), and

t~..le a 1so 1earned about the cowboy clothing in the Old West. Cowboys wore: cotton flannel sh~rl, heavy pants, vest, slicker <raincoat>, chaps <leather 1egg~ngs>,
boot~. ,
spurs (on boots to guide a horse>, bandanna <around the necK>~ hat, and gloves.
We learned about gun safety. Never play with a gun or point a gun at ariother person.
