Twelve computers have been put in one of the fourth-grade classrooms. More will be coming. At the beginning of the year, Principal David Smith expects the fourth graders to begin learning the computer keyboard. With only 12 computers, he expects to try to work something out so the children can work two to a computer. By spring, he expects one classroom to be equipped with a computer built into each desk and the three fourth-grade classes rotating in and out of that classroom so all the students will be exposed to computer learning.
The RJR/Nabisco grant is funding work on computerized learning. Mr. Smith said the team working on the project has not yet dicided what course to teach on computers first.
The classroom that has been used for art and music will be a regular second grade classroom this year. This means that art will be taught by several teachers coming into the classrooms for instruction. Mr. Smith said it should also be possible sometimes, for the art classes to use the stage for large projects when the stage isn’t used for other activities.
One of the modular units will continue to be used for music. Band for fifth through seventh graders will be taught there as well as general music for kindergartners through fourth graders. However the upper grade chorus and general music classes, like art, will be taught by a teacher coming into the classroom.
