ELEMENTARY YOUNGEST MEMBERS START EDUCATION The road of education is a long and to some, a tedious journey. One of the tasks assigned to kindergarten teachers is to be sure an interesting approach is taken to a child's first experiences in education. Mrs. Carol Hendon, teacher of Harding Elementary's Kindergarten, was a firm believer in "hands on" education. Field trips were a common method used by the group to learn about different occupations. In past years, trips were taken to such places as Searcy Medical Center, Yarnell's Ice Cream Factory and the Searcy Municipal Airport. Parents were also brought into the classroom to talk about their jobs to the children. Music , reading, art, creative dramatics and P.E. were only a few of the different classes taught to the students, making sure they got a good approach to learning and school. And after all, a good start is almost anassurance to a happy ending. & Up, Up and Away! "Just a little far· ther, and I can get my milk money!" Tasks assigned to younger students take a larger amount of concentration than when assigned to older students as evidenced here by kindergartener Parrish Pollard. - photo by Doug Kilman. 354 Elementary Luxurious Leisure.
