the hom e and o u tsid e the hom e.”
Mrs. H arris gave an exam ple of
a tim e w hen she had an o p p o r­
tu n ity to go in to the hom e of one
of her stu d e n ts to interview a
parent. She was astonishe d by
the absence of any c u ltu ra l item s,
such as: pictures, figureines, and-
the-like. “ T his w as a B lack home,
very w ell kept; but, there was no
representation o f that fa m ily ’s
heritage s ittin g o u t in plain view.
W hat I saw were little fig u rin e s
w ith b londe hair and b o u ffa n t
dresses.” She w ent on to say
“ We, as parents, should bring our
ch ild re n to the aw areness of w hat
th e ir cu ltu ra l heritage is. T his
should begin in the hom e. D o n ’t
w ait u n til the c h ild gets to the
classroom . And, parents, d o n ’t
re lin q u ish that right to any in­
s tru c to r."
Mrs. H arris shared a w ealth of
know ledge. “ O nce a c h ild begins
to learn, it changes th e ir a ttitu d e s
about w hat they can and cannot
achieve in life. If pim p in g and
drug s e llin g is all they have to
ie a m — then, th a t’s w hat they w ill
learn. If our c h ild know s that there
are black doctors, e le ctricia n s,
d e n tists, and astronauts; then,
they w ill see that they can
achieve. The sky is the lim it!"
In her c lo s in g rem arks, she
stated “ A c h ild gro w in g up in an

Let your ch ild re n know about

F o llo w in g the guest speaker,
Mrs. Elaine H arrison gave a slide
presentation. "T here is a new c u r­
riculum being u tilize d and taught
th is y e a r— C o g n itive T hinking
S k ills ’. The program has 6 to 7
units, w h ich are self regulating.
One o f the m ain d ire ctive s is that
it requires the c h ild to rem em ber
sequences ... p u ttin g th in g s in
order.” Then she shared, w ith the
parents, the new gam e that the
c h ild re n love th is y e a r— the
‘Busy Bee Game*. “ T his gam e
helps the c h ild learn how to
fo llo w in s tru c tio n s .”
The teacher’s day begins at
7:00 a.m. each day and the s tu ­
dent begins at 9:00 a.m. “ W hen a
ch ild arrives early, o r on tim e, he
has the o p p o rtu n ity to have m ore
tim e d u rin g th e ‘ Free T im e'
period” as she w e n t on.
The slide show drew m uch
la u g h te r from the assem bled
group.
One parent asked “ W hat is that
that the ch ild re n are d o ing?” Mrs.
H arrison answ ered, “ They are
playing a new gam e called ‘The
P endulum ’. Its a gam e that J e ff­
ery brought back from O M S I."
The parent replied, “ My son ju s t

explain it to me. N ow I know w hat

T his was the m ost e n tertainin g
and the m ost tasty O pen H ouse
I’ve ever attended. Before the
guest speaker began, everyone
w ent in to the k itch e n area and
prepared for them selves a bow l of
Creole Gumbo or a plate o f a
C hicken and Rice d ish that tasted
so good that it w o u ld m ake you
slap your M am m a dow n. M-m-m-

the teachers, Arm ande Loiseau.

Everyone le ft the g a th e rin g
