Learning 3 'You Can't Help Getting Involved' By LYNN RING Staff Writer Pretty, soft-spoken Linda C. Holley sits patiently and composed surrounded by a semicircle of restless firsi graders. "Barbara, can you tell us where Spot has gone? Look at the picture - what are Jack and Sally doing?" Tiny chairs and tiny children. Whispering, giggling, squirming. Trying to grasp what Jack and Sally are doing. "Was this a good story, boys and girls?" A chorus of approval. Doing her practice teaching at South Kilbourne Elemen tary School has brought pleasure and excitement to Linda Holley. Enthusiasm radiates from her expression and voice when she talks about her first graders. Her practice teaching has also brought new responsibili ties. First observing these children, and now working di rectly with them, she has learned much about each child's life at home and relationship with his family. This knowledge enables her to deal with each child's special problems. As Mrs. Holley says, "You can't help be coming personally involved with them." Besides putting theory into practice now, Linda is taking an art course at the University. Mrs. Hlolley's husband is also a teacher and they both plan to continue teaching in South Carolina.
