Throughout the experiment the students were in charge of the care, feeding and cage cleaning of “Snake Bait” and “Cat Bait.” The students also weighed and measured the animals once a week, keeping record of the statistics.

Newspapers as educational tools

By H. DEAN EVANS 1 Superintendent Os Public Instruction The week, March 7-11, has been designated “Newspaper in Education Week’’ by the American Newspaper Publishers Association and the International Reading Association. Consequently, I believe it is appropriate to discuss how a newspaper can be used at home and in school as an educational tool. Typically we think of learning in terms of textbooks and chalkboards. But the newspaper should not be overlooked as a valuable learning resource for your children. It offers a variety of reading material, from international affairs to hometown news, to name just a few. Articles and features from a newspaper can be used in expanding a child’s learning in the areas of reading, comprehension, sequencing of events, vocabulary development, current events.

resources for those in a nursing home. Duane Cook, activities director, spoke of psycho-social problems of residents and how to cope with them. Finally, a Lakeland Loving Care resident, Mrs. Dorothy McKibbin, presented the students with direct facts and ideas from her own experience. The Milford students learned a lot and gained a perspective on the problem that they would otherwise not have had, thanks to the nursing home staff who had volunteered their time and expertise.

Marie Lozano and Virgina Penn, two teacher aids. Dr. Hull stated the school corporation has received a Migrant Grant for migrant students the past five years. Part of the grant money is used to pay the salaries of two teacher aids to assist migrant students in education. The remainder of the grant is used to assist the students to be successful and adjust, as well as medical assistance if needed. Current emphasis by the Migrant Division is parent involvement. The advisory council meeting will emphasize their opportunity to become involved in the program. Dr. Hull noted the corporation will be starting a bilingual teacher training certification program with Ball State University. Those completing the

science, health, math, and social studies. The educational possibilities are unlimited! “Newspaper in Education Week” is an excellent time to begin exploring the newspaper with your children. Here are some of the things you can do: • Look at a picture in the newspaper with your child. Discuss what is happening. When? Where? How? Why? • Cut out pictures or words from the newspaper which have a short “a” sound. Paste these pictures and/or words inside a drawing of a large apple. • Locate pictures of food, shelter and clothing. With a crayon, write “F” on the food pictures, “S” on the shelter pictures, and “C” on the clothing pictures. • Help your child cut out words to mount on paper and create a “message” to send a friend or relative. • Use the large letters and numerals in the advertisements and headlines to find the numerals and letters in your address and telephone number.

course will receive certification through BSU. Also the corporation will be used for student teaching experience. There is an added benefit to BSU’s participation. “This is an opportunity for ail migrant students who want to have a full ride scholarship at BSU,” said Dr. Hull. It was noted that a migrant student is any one who leaves an area for seasonal work at any time of the vear or who formerly left for seasonal work but has not done so within the last five years. There are 17 students, seven families, within the corporation who qualify for the program. Migrant students are currently attending school at Milford, North Webster and Wawasee.

• Hunt in the newspaper for a long word. Cut out the word and paste it on a piece of paper. Under the long word, write smaller words that are made up of the letters found in the big word. The newspaper is an inexpensive teaching resource that can be invaluable in helping children study in various subject areas. 1 encourage parents to serve as role models; let your children see you read and utilize information found in newspapers. This modeling will help your children see that newspapers have practical lifelong use.
