Something a little different at school—mini-courses
Mini-courses give both students and
teachers a chance to interact in a different
fashion than normal class sessions. It
allows the teaching staff to get to know
students they dq not normally come in
contact with along with allowing students
the same opportunity fo r meeting other
students and teachers.
This is tne third mini-course session that'
has been offered at Warm Springs
elementary school. Twenty-five different
activities are available fo r students to
chose from. The classes ' run from three to
six weeks depending upon the course.
For one hour each Friday, the students
attend their classes, learning anything
from square dance to cooking. One group
o f mini-course students is resposible fo r
paintingthe mural on the side o f Macy 's
store. And one class can be seen jogging
throughout the neighborhood on Friday
afternoons. Another is busy in the
classroom cooking up a taste treat.
Other mini-courses offered to the Waryp
Springs elementary students include
leather craft, archery, print making, frisbee
games, puppets, calligraphy, macrame,
making movies, music instruments and
weaving.
Throwing frisbees has become a popular sport but figuring out just how to do it takes some practice. In
Michael McGinnis’ class, expert instruction is provided.

IKnot tying also known as macrame is a
practical skill and can at the same time be a
means of expressing creativity. It looks
confusing to begin with but once you get the
hang of it, knot tying is easy..
Cooking over a hot burner for an hour demands some reward. When the cooking is
done the tasting can begin. Mary Huey instructs Cooking in the Classroom.
Art for all the world to see is the project directed by Linda Henry. This mini-course gives
children the chance to paint in a large scale way on the wall of Macy’s store.
Debbie Wolfe instructs students in the art of calligraphy. It takes practice to make letters both
beautiful and perfect.
