““Whitey’’ Hayman’s first grade class learning and having fun ‘with their
Teacher of the Week
Warren L. (‘“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
