Y. Primary ChUd's World: (continued from preceding page) about the community is to go into it. Walks around the neighborhood to look at animals and plants in parks or gardens, to observe growth changes and seasonal changes, and to see pets acquaint the children with their environment. Trips to explore the nearby store, visit the fire department or like this we go to the "post office" even though today it has taken wing, tend to mold group feeling because they give a common experience out of which sharing and growth result. And what is the purpose of all these first hand learning opportunities — opportunities to go in small groups away from the school, out into the community, to see, to observe, to experience? Certainly the most readily thought of purpose is to provide a wide background of reading readiness activities, but there are secondary, if not higher purposes to be served— namely, those which bring experiencing to its true outlet via the child's imaginative creative urge. These young children of primary grade level have not only experienced the opportunity of observing the fishing boats in the harbor, but now have been asked to create their impressions— not necessarily in speaking, discussion or other forms of communication, but, in this case, through artistic expression, through manipulating crayons, charcoal or other drawing materials. These two young children— little Neisi boys— are constructing an auto ferry. Have they created this out of some mysterious fund of information or imagination? No. Their ideas have been expressed as the result of their opportunity to see these things exist in their community to observe carefully, then to re-create their ideas— each according to his own creative imagination—back in his classroom workshop. Selecting and Placing Pictures Reproductions of the old masters, of contemporary artists, and photographic study prints tie into the childrens' units of work. Some of these pictures, mounted attractively and placed on the eye level of the children during their stu dy, are selected to point up the lesson. Others are used for room environment, to create an atmosphere which reflects the beauty of our culture; thus, they serve as an indirect method of teaching. Alert teachers will have their own picture files. Children whose backgrounds have been permeated with beautiful pictures, slides, films, and visual impressions from field trips express themselves creatively. Utilizing Films, Filmstrips, Slides Films about wild life, about children—particularly in other parts of the nation and of the world, stimulate thought, concentrate attention and begin to help the child understand his place in the world. Films are valuable for building reading readiness because they add to the child's fund of information and bring meaning to what he reads. With filmstrips and slides, the teacher has the advantage of controlling the pace, talking as the pictures are shown, and of encouraging the children to talk. Young children are generally credulous about what they hear and see.
