Third-graders
star in commercial
Students
didn’t make a grade, but they made the cut
[MAY
31, 2001] Most
courses end with a test or project to determine how much students
have gleaned, but not the third-grade violence-prevention program in
Logan County. At the end of the course, the third-graders compete to
be featured in a television commercial.
For
the last few years, Central School won the privilege. This year, a
new school earned the honor, Washington-Monroe School.
Washington-Monroe’s third-graders were up against four other
public and private elementary schools.
Three
teachers at Washington-Monroe drafted the commercial for the two
third-grade classes to learn and perform: Gail Zimmer, Mary Clark
and Debbie Turner. The commercial was originally a whole minute
long, defining types of battery and child abuse and using actual
crime statistics. When the teachers learned that it had to be pared
down to 30 seconds, they were compelled to scrap the definitions and
keep the explanations about real court cases.
The
student’s reactions are predictable. "They’re real thrilled
to be in a commercial," says teacher Debbie Turner. Turner
herself is "thrilled for the kids, and it is an important
message to get out….and the kids are concerned about it."
The
"Cops and Kids" commercial is aired on the weekends,
Friday to Sunday, on the local cable stations for ESPN, Nickelodeon
and Fox Family.

Sixth-graders
learn what
it’s like to grow old
[MAY
24, 2001] The
18 sixth-graders in Bev Wunderlin’s class at Washington-Monroe
School know a little more about growing older than they did a few
weeks ago. A cross-curriculum unit on aging has given them insight
into the good things as well as the challenges older people
experience and has dispelled some of the stereotypes they might have
associated with older folks.
|
A
number of different projects tied the unit together, combining
science, social studies, history, reading, art, classroom
experiments, a field trip to a nursing home and a visit from a local
historian. "We crossed the curriculum," Wunderlin
explained.
For an
art project, the 18 students drew pictures of themselves as they are
now, then drew pictures of themselves as they imagined they will be
when they got old. For a health lesson in what it’s like to have
arthritis, they taped their knuckles together, put on gloves and
tried to do simple tasks, like shuffling cards, getting coins out of
a purse and opening a childproof medicine bottle.

[Sixth-grade
students at Washington-Monroe School listen to Paul Gleason talk
about the war in Europe and the war in the Pacific during World War
II.]
Yellow
glasses gave them insight into eye changes that can make reading
more difficult. Trying to take a test after listening to a tape that
simulated what a hard-of-hearing person might hear helped them
understand hearing loss.
The
visit to The Christian Nursing Home was a highlight, with each
student assigned to interview a resident. They heard some
interesting stories.
"My
person got to ride to school in a horse and carriage," Jesse
explained. "The neighbor gave her a ride."
"My
person and her sister had to mow the lawn," Wesley reported.
"They had a pony, and they used to tie the pony to the lawn
mower and do it that way."
Farm
chores, such as caring for animals and working in the fields pulling
weeds, were experiences many of the sixth-graders learned about.
"My person didn’t finish school. He cared more about animals
than school, and his favorite animals were horses," Ashley
said. Others reported learning about milking cows and taking care of
chickens, ducks and turkeys.
The
young people also heard about hard work, sickness and a lot of
responsibility.
"My
person had to work hard taking care of the family," said Devin.
"She had a lot of brothers and sisters, and her mother was
sick. Her dad was gone, too, working for other people."
The
woman Juliann interviewed had had polio. "She couldn’t walk
for years. The happiest memory she has is learning to walk
again."
![](../images/052401pics/wash_mon_9.jpg)
[Bev
Wunderlin, sixth-grade teacher at Washington-Monroe, worked out a
unit including history, social studies, science, reading and other
disciplines, which had the theme of growing older.]
Another
woman told Megan what it was like to live through the Great
Depression. "They didn’t have enough money to get food
sometimes," Megan said.
The
visit to the nursing home also caused some stereotypes to fall by
the wayside.
"I
thought they would be slow, but they are just like normal
people," Devin said.
"I
thought maybe they would be boring," T. J. added. He
discovered, instead, that they had good stories to tell.
"I
thought they would be forgetful and not remember what they did at
our age, but they remember real well," Megan reported.
The
students also saw the some of sadness older people can feel.
"One man said his daughter and his wife died in the same year,
and all he has is a brother," Ashley remembered.
"I
felt sorry for some of the people, because they don’t have anybody
to visit them," Emily added.
[to top of second column in

|
One of
the benefits of growing older, Megan discovered, is that you have a
lot of memories to look back on. What might be boring history to
youngsters today, such as World War II, was an important part of the
lives of many older people.
Local
historian Paul Gleason recently helped that era to come alive for
Washington-Monroe’s sixth-grade classes. He took the group quickly
through the Roaring ’20s, when people wanted to "eat, drink
and be merry like there was no tomorrow," and the Great
Depression, "when everything fell apart." He talked about
food lines, banks that closed and people who committed suicide
because they lost all their money.
"Lincoln
had one store that gave credit to 27 teachers, allowing them to
charge their groceries," he recalled. "That was the Basket
Grocery, where the Genealogical and Historical Society is right now.
After the Depression was over, a lot of old-time teachers continued
to go there to buy their food because that store had helped them
out."
Because
of the hatred of the Germans, Lincoln’s German-American bank
changed its name, dropping the word "German."

[Mary
Clark, Title I teacher at Washington-Monroe School]
Hitler,
Gleason pointed out, wanted to create a "master race," and
even exterminated children who could not fit into his category of
the "perfect person." When an African-American man, Jesse
Owens, won four events in the Olympic games held in Germany in 1936,
Hitler walked out of the stands so he would not have to present a
medal to a man who upset his ideas about white superiority.
Gleason
told about the Holocaust and killing of six million Jews. The class
has been doing a unit on the Holocaust and will be reading a book
about it and seeing the movie "The Diary of Anne Frank."
He
explained how "Rosie the Riveter" changed our ideas about
women in the workforce and the hard decision Harry Truman had to
make about dropping the atomic bomb. Airplanes played a big part in
World War II, and Gleason told the story of the plane that buzzed
Lincoln, zooming down Kickapoo Street on March 23, 1943. The pilot,
a Lincoln man, later took part in the D-Day invasion of Europe.
Blackouts,
rationing, Christmas without chocolate, war stamps and savings bonds
were also part of the memories of those older folks who lived
through World War II.
As the
unit on aging ends, Ms. Wunderlin’s sixth-graders feel more
comfortable with the idea of growing old. "I was kinda scared
about it, but I’m not now," Brittney said. "I think it’s
going to be fun," Mary added.
The young people even see
some definite advantages to being senior citizens. Having children
and grandchildren and getting discounts at stores rate high. Having
your own home and your own car and "more time to do stuff"
sound good, too. Perhaps the most appealing advantages, though, are
that you can sleep in and there’s no more homework.
