Adair County Migrant Education program has a busy June If you have hired anyone to work in agriculture or moved to Adair County to work in agriculture please contact Shamarie Claiborne at 270-250-3809 to see if you and/or your children qualify for the Federal Migrant Program. - Shamarie Claiborne, Adair County Board of Education, District Migrant Recruiter / Homebound Teacher, 270-250-3809 Click on headline for complete story with photo(s) By Shamarie Claiborne District Migrant Recruiter/Homebound Teacher The Adair County Migrant Education Program has had a busy month of June, our summer school kicked off and was filled with learning, laughter, and fun! Our academic curriculum was based on each child’s current needs, using state and school assessments available to our staff. We were able to focus the students by creating individualized learning plans and assignments which were technology based - thanks to our iPads! Our older students were each given an iPad of their own, to work with over the summer. We are hoping post-scores will reflect all the children’s hard work! One of those agencies was the Columbia Police Department who presented their Drug Abuse Resistance Education program and worked to build bridges between themselves and the migrant children during the week and a positive experience was had by all. There were two different programs provided during their visit, one for the younger students about drugs and alcohol, while the older students participated in the Violence Awareness Program. Sprinkled into the daily rigorous academic curriculum were fun enrichment activities provided by numerous local agencies. Our local extension office enhanced the student’s curriculum by creating bean art. They discussed the positive benefits of eating healthy while creating their projects. And to the delight of our parents, the children were able to take their masterpieces home. Then on our last day, we worked in conjunction with Lindsay Wilson College to provide enrichment and healthy activities to our children. During the morning hours our older Latino population was involved in numerous educational based seminars and activities provided by the Lindsey Wilson Latino Outreach Program. Mean while our younger Latino’s and other migrant population was provided wellness activities. Then during the afternoon, all the children regrouped and enjoyed swimming together which was wonderful exercise! (But shhhh... don’t tell them!) All students who attended the first week of summer school and completed forty hours of home activities were invited to go on the first of two great field trips of the summer. The children and numerous parents spent the day in Versailles and Lexington. Our first stop was at the Bluegrass Railroad Museum where we enjoyed an hour and half train ride on an authentic early 1900’s New York City Commuter Train. To the children’s delight the next stop was Gatti Town in Lexington, where tons of great food and rides were had by all. Closing the day we went bowling which was the funniest part of the entire trip! The bottom line was … fun and laughter was the theme of the day! We start our last week of summer school soon and we can only say… we hope it is as engaging, fun, and exciting as the first week! If you have hired anyone to work in agriculture or moved to Adair County to work in agriculture please contact Shamarie Claiborne at 270-250-3809 to see if you and/or your children qualify for the Federal Migrant Program. - Shamarie Claiborne, Adair County Board of Education, District Migrant Recruiter / Homebound Teacher, 270-250-3809 This story was posted on 2013-07-18 03:02:24
