(‘“Whitey’’) Hayman [continued on page 2] Is the gym class in school just a little exercise in between academic subjects? It’s a lot more than that for Warren L. (‘‘Whitey’’) Hayman, instructor in physical education at Seiler and Riverview elementary schools. For ‘‘Whitey”’ physical education is an integral part of the rest of education. What does a child learn in physical education? Well, take a class of first graders at Seiler school last week during their gym class with Whitey. They were learning arithmetic and also the meaning of a lot of words. One of the stunts the children were learning was a sort of crawling pyramid, in which two youngsters crawl- ed side by side on all fours, while another child lay balanced on his back across their backs. It took a lot of coordination between all three individuals to make this strange mode of locomotion work. Whitey asked for three children to come out on the mat together to go through this exercise. Often two or four children would appear instead ot the required three. ‘‘Three,”’ Whitey would reiterate, ‘‘Two plus one equals three. Not four, not two. We want three.’’ So the children learned a little arithmetic, and very con- cretely too, as well muscular coordination and cooperat- ion with others. Whitey describes the learning by the younger children in physical educat- ion under three headings. First they learn to follow instructions. To perform many of the activities the children must keep in their heads a series of directions: “Push. Now Pulll.”” These are called ‘‘accumulative directions.”’ When the children first come into the gym they take their ‘‘places’’ which have been assigned to them. By noting who is missing a place, Whitey can easily take the roll, and the child is fitting into a role as soon as he enters the gym. If a child has difficulty following instructions, Whitey will put him next to a child who is good at following instrcutions. A lot of the instruction in the gym reinforces academic learning, like the ‘‘one and two equals three’’ in the pyramid game. Before the first grade class came to the gym, Whitey had talked to their teacher Mrs. Dorothy Young, so that he could emphasize in gym the same subjects Mrs. Young was emphasizing in class. Last year while a class was studying the Philip- pines in geography, Whitey staged a Philippine folk dance for them in the gym. In addition to learning how to follow instructions and having their classroom learning reinforced in the gym, the children also learn “movement awareness.’’ Whitey had the children do a front roll in pairs on the mats, then a side roll down a long mat. ‘‘It kinda lets the kid know where he is in space,” says Whitey. ‘‘He learns what ‘up’ and ‘down’ mean in relation to other people. The final activity Whitey had for the first graders last week was stretching a parachute in a huge circle between them. By pulliing [continued on page 2]
