Letter To The Editor Dear Mr. Schroeder: Please accept our heart felt thanks for your assisting Trooper R. H. Wright during a recent accident in vestigation. Trooper Wright informs me that on Saturday, 17 July 1982, James Wendell Nicholson, who was riding a bicycle, was struck by a hit and run vehicle on US 13 near Robersonville. Trooper Wright stated that you stopped on your own and removed Mr. Nicholson from the highway; thereby, saving his life. I further understand that this was done by placing yourself in danger, and that if you had not removed Mr. Nicholson, he would have been run over IVEY MEADOWS UPHOLSTERY Vacation Notice We will be closed July 31 to August 14 I Will re-open August 16 SALE! \r OPEN \ \ i/ / FRIDAY f/g NITES Thermos Double Six Packer X - J 999 | ?Bug Busters 1 Acre Are* Vi Acre Area Picnic Table Octagonal With 4 Benches " Lanpe Umbrella by another vehicle.

Edenton - Chowan Enrichment Program The last bell rang. Kids rushed out of classrooms headlong into summer; for two months there would be no teachers, no books, no homework and no more bells. Two weeks after that final bell, however, 28 youngsters in the Edenton - Chowan System had given up part of their summer freedom to return to school. The system’s summer enrichment program, funded by Migrant Education, has offered migrant children and tuition students a whole new range of educational experiences. Realizing that competing with summertime pleasures was not going to be easy, the teachers involved in the project searched for months to find an approach to summer school which would appeal while providing educationally sound ex periences to students with a wide range of abilities and achievement levels. After much planning, the staff, composed of an art teacher, a physical education in structor, and a lead teacher, created an inter disciplinary approach to teaching language arts, social studies, science, and mathemeatics skills without using standard materials and methods employed in regular classes. From the first day, the staff maneuvered students through a tightly planned schedule. Susan Birckhead introduced them to mar bilized paper, a craft which practically guarantees success. The twelve year olds were as fascinated as the six year olds as they watched swirls of color appear like magic on sheets of plain white paper. From art the unsuspecting youngsters were ushered into a room which has been clearned of every bookcase, table and desk. To greet them was an energetic Ester Hollingsworth, eager to lead them in a variety of movement games - some which encouraged free (| PH.ROSE | Seasonal Clearance Quantities Limited Lawn Chair tjjßSm $ 5 « Splash & Stash Pool $q aoo Glares 5/*l“ Clear and Amber Dark & Lovely Kit $439 Reg. 5.09 THE CHOWAN HERALD expression and some which demanded careful attention to very specific instructions. By the end of the first day, the young skeptics had bought into the plans. For four weeks these children have explored themselves and their world through many carefully designed purposeful activities. Each new bit of in formation, skill or concept is taught by totally involving the student through visual and movement experiences. Students have learned to relate sophisticated synonyms for such common words as “happy" and “sad” to color, line and body movement. How many first and second graders can claim “ecstatic" and “dejected” as part of their reading and speaking vocabulary? By measuring objects with pine needles, string and lengths of paper, students have learned the necessity of standard measurements and have refined the skill of measuring with con ventional instruments. To discover concepts relating to the passage of time, students have traced shadows made by their hands and arms at various times of the day, and have marched to the tempo of a metronome around a large clock face drawn with chalk on the classroom floor. While studying shadows outside in natural light has reinforced concepts relating to time, the kids have discovered another way to use shadows back in the classroom. With the aid of a filmstrip projector, they have made shadow puppets by moving their hands and arms in front of the projector until a desired image appears. The images - usually animals - become the characters for stories the children write in groups and present to each other in the form of puppet shows. The project has tested alternative teaching methods, the design of which was based upon the premise that children have different learning styles. Some students can learn by listening; others must be shown; still others must be actively involved before learning takes place. Almost all people, however, probably learn by a com bination of all three modes. The staff feels that although the concepts they have taught are important, it is more significant that their methods have proved successful with a variety of students with different learning and ability livels. From a practical stand point, this approach does not require the purchase of expensive materials nor specialized personnel. Any teacher who is interested in adding these methods to his or her repertoire should not be intimidated by the fact that the materials were developed by an art and physical education teacher. No special training in these areas is required. Some people once believed that mountains were formed by an enormous under ground serpent moving about. f A @Reffc Tuler downtown edenton r Worlds Most Famous Glamorous Doll V io—Pc, Corning Ware Hostess Set Day 59.88,„„„ —.▼ Include*: 2‘A-qt.

My family and I made another visit “back home" to confer on business and to recharge our batteries. This time we brought along Grandma and her dog so she could enjoy our favorite place, too. „ One day as we were fishing on a good neighbor’s pier, Grandma’s cherished old pet had some sort of suddlen attack. He died in her lap on the way to the vet. Now everyone has ex perienced and gotten over this kind of loss. But for 81- year-old Grandma who had lived alone with that old dog for 16 years, this was no ordinary tragedy. The folks along your Public Pairade who we encountered in the next few minutes realized this and made her day much more tolerable. The local vet took time out of a busy morning to come out to the car where Grandma still sat holding her long-time companion. He stroked the. animal's fur and felt for the absent heartbeat and then an nounced the inevitable in tones so just she could hear. Hien he kindly asked what he could do to help her. Grandma allowed the vet to take the dog and enclose him so that transportation would not be so difficult. We then did the next logical thing when taking care of loved ones under these circumstances-we contacted a friend in the area who is involved in the funeral service. He provided a box to use as a casket and arranged so that the pet could wait to be transported for several days while we completed our visit here. Grandma had a special place picked out on the family farm to lay her friend to rest. Hie kind of concern shown for an elderly woman’s feelings at the death of her pet would not have occured in most other places I know of. Best regards, John R.
