Page 6-A Remedial Labs Discussed To determine the level of achievement and to develop an individual instructional plan for helping each student at that level is the main concept behind the math remediation labs established in each Chowan County school through Emergency School Aid Act (ESAA) federal funds. This concept, as explained recently by ESAA Project director, Wilbur Pierce to math evaluators observing math remediation facilities in all Edenton-Chowan schools, “strives to help each deficient student move upward and advance, with out comparing student against student.” Math remediation specialists from the Nor theastern Regional Center in Williams ton, on three separate days, visited all schools’ labs for assessment purposes and for setting up training sessions with teachers to strengthen the remediation concepts. Rebecca Oates, Regional Center math coordinator was “impressed” and found Edenton-Chowan’s programs to be “progresssing satisfac torily”. She determined existing personnel and materials as “adequate to achieve the objectives of the project”. Employing two different approaches within the re mediation process, approxi mately two-hundred and seventy five students presently receive individual math remediation. Separate COUNCIL MEMBERS An integral function of the math is performed by the Student Advisory Council established through the ESAA project. Pictured are: Amy Lane, Robert Gray, Reggie Satterfield, chairman; Leon Rousson and Penny West, John A. Holmes Advisory members, who serve as liason for ESAA programs to the total student body. Also serving on the Council, but not pictured, is Patricia Flanigan.

Walker School, 1-4 students at White Oak School, 4th and sth grades at Ernest A. Swain School, 1-4 students at White Oak School, 4th and sth grades at Ernest A. Swain School and 8-ll students at John A. Holmei High School. Alternative School students receive in di vidua lizedinstruction from the math teacher there. “There is no math lab, as such, at Chowan High School due to lack of space” acknowledged Pierce. However a “floating” certified remedial math instructor works directly with 7th and Bth grade students during their math period in the classroom, either in small groups or individually. To aid in continuity, lab teachers meet and coor dinate with regular classroom teachers to develop reinforcement math activities for the students. Basic skills in addition, multiplication, subtraction and division are stressed. Students participation in the remedial math program is determined through extensive testing, both at the beginning and end of the school year. Rotation of lab students can occur as skills are mastered and students return to their regular math classes. ■ ■ • DERBY WINNERS—Cub Scouts in Edenton recently bdd a Pinewood Derby at the Jaycee Building on Base Road.

Charles Evans There were two bills that created a lot of activity and interest this week in the General Assembly. It so happens that both of these controversial measures were sent to committees of which I am a member. One of these is the proposed Wildlife laws revision which I have discussed in a previous report. The second public hearing was held concerning this revision and there was standing room only! I was pleased to be visited by several persons who came up from the First District to discuss the tall and attend the hearing. Now, the bill will be discussed and debated in detail in the House and Senate Wildlife ■mmm iiimLili iinujigyoWl Doo r pur off making changes that could make your forming operation more efficient and profitable losreod talk to us at the Production Credit Associ ation aoout short and intermediate term financing.

If you have an opinion and have not con tacted me, please let me hear from you regarding this rewrite. The other piece of legislation that has at tracted a lot of attention around the legislative halls is House Bill 233, introduced by Rep. Parks Helms of Mecklenburg. Better known as the Blind Bidding Bill, H 8233 is before the Judiciary I Committee in the House. To date, two entire committee meetings have been devoted to the parties involved in this issue. On one side of this issue are the distributors and producers of motion pic tures and on the other side are the exhibitors and theatre owners; both groups representing large com panies. The members of the Judiciary I Committee were addressed recently by a rather famous personality, Mr. Jack Vanenti. Before assuming his present position as President of the Motion Pictures Association of America in Hollywood, Mr. Valenti spent three years in the White House with President Lyndon Johnson. He then went on to write a popular biography of Mr. Johnson. He made an excellent presentation on behalf of the motion picture producers and distributors. With two television cameras squeezed into our small committee room and with all of the people crowded around, you would have thought that we were filming a picture ourselves! The basic issue that is before us as presented by House Bill 233 is whether or not to allow the theatre owners who operate in North Carolina to view the films in advance before they have to submit a bid to the distributors, which is Continued on Page 10-B 1979AMC Concord DL.

Walker School are enticed to Mrs. Fernandez’ class. The “Greatest Show on Earth,” or the Ringling Bros. Barnum & Bailey Circus at Norfolk’s Scope this past week, stimulated a great deal of excitement and many learning experiences for all kin dergarteners. In preparation for the “Special Student Day”, special activities involving math, language, music, art, pantomime, finger play and phonetics were developed. Many classes fixed elaborate hall decorations and made costumes with a circus theme. Pictured are Sharetha Gregory, Matthew Atkinson and Robert Saunders and Tracy Belch (in wagon) portraying what they expect to see. Twelve volunteer parents'accompanied the teachers and 140 students, the majority of who had never been to a circus, to Scope last week. Chdwan Schools. There will be a Disco- Dance Saturday night. There will be refreshments and a devotion at bedtime. The cost of the retreat is $lB and Hertford County office has set March 9 as date for us to report on our attendance for the retreat.
