| Kindergarten Orientation Wed, 30 Apr 2008 10:53:37 -0500 Cumberland Trace Elementary School principal Mary Evans held up her hand and explained that at school, a raised hand, or high five, means it’s time to be quiet. “Giving five is how we start our morning,” she said to a room full of new parents and soon-to-be first-year students Thursday. The students, mimicking Evans, got their first lesson in following rules as they went through kindergarten orientation. Every school in the Warren County system is encouraged to have school orientations. High schools have them, so do middle and elementary schools. And now there is a day set aside just for kindergartners and their parents to become acclimated to the school environment. “In a lot of cases, having orientation eliminates fear and anxiety for both parents and students who are entering primary school in the fall,” said Judy Glass, Warren County Schools elementary instructional supervisor. “That fear is real. We want parents and the community at large to know we are concerned about appropriate transitioning at every level, and the beginning of school is critical for children.” Before finding their way to classrooms, Evans gave a few pointers geared toward parents, like reinforcing to their children that they are ready for school. Evans said children grow and develop at their own rate, and parents shouldn’t worry about what their child knows or doesn’t. “Kindergarten is quite different,” she said. “It is very hands-on, very active and very student focused.” After a short video, the children and their parents were off to peruse the brightly decorated kindergarten classrooms. While the 4- and 5-year-olds saw a colorful room to play in, parents took note of the play center, reading center and all the classrooms had to offer. “I like it,” said Kelly Condiff, parent of Jacob Condiff, 5, who will be starting school at Cumberland Trace in the fall. “He was worried he wouldn’t know anybody the first day ... this was helpful.” Orientation is as important for students as it is for parents, said Patrice McCrary, a kindergarten teacher at Cumberland Trace. Kindergarten is a milestone, she said. The orientation, she said, lets parents and kids know what is ahead, which makes the transition easier. Glass said the overall goal is to build a school culture that inspires lifelong learning. Activities such as kindergarten orientation promote that goal, she said. “It is a necessary thing for parents to know what their child is learning and how they are learning it,” said Beth Scheaffer, early reading first coach for the school. “Parental involvement is key, and one of the most important things we can do as teachers is partner with parents ... start that relationship now.” Going to school for the first time is a “very overwhelming experience,” said Sara Smith, a kindergarten teacher at the school. Educators want the students to be comfortable with school and the faces they’ll get to know, Scheaffer said. “I was scared. I didn’t want him in school ... sending him here was a scary thought,” said Latricia Brown, whose son, Tavion, 4, will start kindergarten next year. Tavion has been at the school for his preschool years. “I feel better now. I know the teachers and love the school. He’s been spoiled here.” The night wasn’t complete without the adventure of a bus ride, which many of the students had not been on before. The children and parents boarded the yellow school bus, getting a lesson - and for some, a refresher - on the proper way to get on and off the bus. Devonna Driver, transportation department Greenwood area manager, pointed out some of the features on the buses such as the exits, the emergency exits, where the video camera is and the high backed seats. “This is one of the safest vehicles on the road,” she said. Students who will ride the bus are also issued orange vests the first day of school to let people know they are bus riders. “Children are our most precious commodity.” Glass said. “We want to provide them with the best we can offer, and that is a climate that is safe, secure and inviting.” |
| Davis’ volunteer attitude will be honored at dinner Wed, 30 Apr 2008 10:53:38 -0500 For almost 10 years, B.J. Davis has found happiness within the walls of Warren East Middle School - not as a teacher, but as a volunteer. And her work has paid off. Today, Davis will receive the Third District Education Association Friend of Education award during a dinner at the Warren Association of Baptists building. She was nominated for the award by Debbie Roddy, the middle school’s librarian. “They told me the other day,” Davis said with a smile. “And I am so proud.” Roddy, a lifetime member of the Kentucky Educators Association, said she nominated Davis because of her dedication to the school. “I just put down the kind of person she is and what she does for us,” Roddy said. “When you’ve got someone who spends as much time here as your paid personnel, it says a lot ... She is truly a part of the WEMS family out here.” Being involved in the schools has provided many happy times for Davis. She said parents should be more involved with their children’s schools, especially when the children are in middle school. “Here, it’s the hardest years,” she said. “They’re going through everything.” It’s important, Davis said, to know how children are doing and what they are doing, and volunteering - even if it’s just for an hour - does that. “The students get to you, and the more you’re there, they look for you,” she said. “They develop a relationship.” The Bardstown native moved to Bowling Green about 20 years ago, and worked for Fruit of the Loom for 12 years. And when her children started school, so did she. Davis started at Richardsville Elementary School as the PTO president. She began volunteering at the school in various positions, helping out in the library, with fundraisers and tutoring. “It led to where I was like a fixture on the wall,” she said. When her children settled into Warren East Middle, she settled right along with them. “We are like a family here,” she said. “It would be kind of hard to say goodbye.” Davis said she is at the school early in the morning and leaves around 4 p.m., and loves it. She said being at the school is “like therapy” for her. “For the kids to go, ‘Hey B.J., how are you doing?’ is just wonderful,” she said. “I love giving myself to these kids.” While the thought of becoming a teacher entered Davis’ mind, she said she felt she had found her calling volunteering instead. And with her children now grown, she has more time to dedicate to the school. “I see the kids coming and going and I interact with parents as they come in,” she said. “I’m doing everything that I love. I love working with the kids, and I help anywhere I’m needed. “It’s just a feeling inside that says this is the right place for me.” |
