Hands are for helping

[OCT. 25, 2000]  The Logan County AmeriCorps members have collaborated with Sojourn in putting together a project titled "Hands are not for Hitting, Words are not for hurting." The Logan County AmeriCorps members have distributed materials to teachers interested in using the project with their classes. The materials include posters, stacks of cut-out hands for students, and information for teachers to present about how "hands are not for hitting, and words are not for hurting." The students then sign their names on the hands, pledging not to use their hands to hit for one month.

In response to the project, some teachers asked the AmeriCorps to provide additional support and follow-up. There will be assemblies with a skit on Thursday, Oct. 26, at the following schools:

  • Elkhart School, 9 a.m.
  • Mount Pulaski School, 1 p.m.
  • Central School, 2 p.m.

Fourth graders experience interactive history at Lincoln College Museum

[OCT. 3, 2000]  History at the Lincoln College Museum was brought to life last Thursday for a small group of fourth graders from Northwest School in Lincoln.


[Ron Keller, Lincoln College Museum curator, brings history to life for fourth grade students from Northwest School.]

 

Ron Keller, current Lincoln College Museum curator, encouraged the kids to travel back in time as he welcomed them. Dressed in typical 1800s attire, he introduced himself to the group as John S. Stephens, the small boy who witnessed Abraham Lincoln’s watermelon christening of the town of Lincoln. The children, who are students in Mrs. Splain’s, Miss Barcalow’s and Mrs. Bachman’s classes at Northwest School, listened to history being retold from the perspective of a person who was around during Lincoln’s era.

As Keller gave kids a hands-on approach to learning about the past, Mrs. Splain was happy to see such a response from her students. "This is great for the kids to come here and experience the Lincoln artifacts. It lets the kids expand on the history we’ve talked about in class."

Keller agrees and says his goals are to increase the awareness of the rich history on display in our small-town museum. "I want to continue to present our history in an interactive manner," he said. "The fourth grade group from Northwest was a terrific group, and I look forward to many more school groups."

Lincoln College Museum is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., and admission is free. Larger groups are encouraged to call ahead at 732-3155, Ext. 295.
