ELEMENTARY READING Frances H. Carpenter, Consultant


The majority of pupils in Lynnfield schools read at or above grade level. A small percentage need extra help and a few pupils need remedial reading. Small classes are set up to teach specific reading skills and the groups are constantly being reorganized as the need arises. A pupil may attend such a class for a year or more or for only a few weeks, depending upon his need. During the 1962-1963 school year 68 pupils from all four elementary schools attended these classes.


The reading consultant also works in the various classrooms directly with teachers to plan for pupils needing special help. Much individual testing and analysis is done. Generally pupils show good improvement with corrective teaching. Every attempt is made to correct difficulties as early as possible making the program more preventive than corrective in nature.


ELEMENTARY ART


Mrs. Gladys H. Goodwin, Art Supervisor


During the 1963 school year it has been my pleasant opportunity to work with the entire staff of forty-seven elementary teachers and the four principals. I endeavor to suggest ideas and materi- als to be used in art lessons to be taught by them. Also to help in art projects in such fields as social studies, American Heritage, special holiday activities and dramas.


As I meet every grade once in two weeks I work with 605 pupils weekly.


Each week I visit one-half or one block of grades working with approximately 605 pupils. The following week the remaining group has its turn. Thus the 1209 pupils have art twice a month.


A wide variety of arts and crafts, in as many medias as possible makes worthwhile experience for all pupils of varying abilities.


Through the whole-hearted enthusiasm and cooperation of teachers and principals we provide the art experiences we hope will be most beneficial to the pupils.


ELEMENTARY SCHOOL HEALTH Mrs. Priscilla F. Burnham, R. N. - Nurse


This nurse covers four elementary schools and assists at the High School on the average of once a week.


The program in 1963 included the usual vision and hearing tests, pre-school physical examina- tions, Tine tests for tuberculosis, diabetes tests, and the giving of Sabin Oral Polio Vaccine.


82


Approximately 1230 first aid cases were handled during the year.


Health work with and for teachers included the following :


1. Films shown at staff meetings :


"If These Were Your Children"


"Teacher Observation of School Children"


2. Newsletter to Teachers, distributed bi-monthly or oftener. This acquaints teachers with the latest health news around the schools and serves as a means of communication between the school nurse and the teachers.


3. Health Reference Material :


A booklet was compiled by nurse testing reference materials available for both teach- er and student use. A copy of this was given to each teacher.


In May, Lynnfield's school nurses were hostesses to the Northeastern District of School Nurses. In June I attended the first week of a three-year School Nurse's Workshop at Simmons College. This was sponsored jointly by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health and the School Nurse's Branch of the Massachusetts State Nurses Association.


SPEECH THERAPY Mrs. Louise Norton, Director


In January of 1963, there was a case load of 103 students. In June most of the 80 who re- mained in therapy were given practice material for the summer.


In September, mothers of pre-school children were given information about the therapy pro- gram and three pre-school conferences were held. All first grade children, children new to the sys- tem, and all grades 2-6 nurse referrals were tested.


The maximum case load in the September to December period was 113 children, and at present writing 107 are receiving help. Some are seen twice weekly, others less frequently. The periods vary from twenty to thirty minutes. One child who has progressive hearing loss is being taught lip reading.


Parents are informed as to progress and are invited to conferences. It is important that par- ents cooperate to prevent children from slipping back at home into faulty speech habits.
