This year's theme was "Education Can Turn Things Around". It is im portant to know what is happening in the schools. To know, is to see into all of our futures. Many different activities happened during the week. It was a joining of the home and school life of the young children. ? Parents should always be interested in the educa tion of their children. They want to know what's going on in their child's classroom. Parent con ferences held at the time was a good way to get school and home working together again. Miss New ly's first grade students' parents were given the op portunity to meet their child's teacher and to find out about the work they're doing. During American Edu cation Week parents at Hertford Grammar School visited and helped students by reading to them and aiding with seat work to reinforce skills being taught. Ms. Thelma Skinner's first grade class also en couraged the parents to eat lunch with their children. The week was a time for better understanding for parents as well as students. As part of their study of Thanksgiving, Mrs. Davis' second grade class studied how the Pilgrim children learned. It helped them to understand how education began in America. Mrs. Hoggard's third garde class wrote original poems during the week. Special efforts were made to master the use of various kinds of dic tionaries in grades four, five, and six at the Hert ford Grammar School Library. The children used the unabridged, abridged, geographical, biographical and the thesaurs dic tionaries to make attrac tive word lists. They got a chance to meet new people and see new places in do ing so. Each child shared his or her information with another person in the class. Mrs. Kay Cram's fifth grade class learned that the theme for this year had ASC vote to come The ballots for the ASC Community jCommittee election were mailed November 24.

During the fiscal year that ended June 30, 1978, citizens across our state reported, as required by law, 18,686 children they suspected of being abused or neglected. These reports were made to coun ty social services direc tors. After investigations were completed by the county social services departments, 7,438 children were confirmed as being abused or neglected or both com pared to only 6,354 children the previous year," Ward Said. He said that some of the grant money will be spent on several demonstration projects to help prevent child abuse and neglect.

Second, it is a reminder to all that educa tion is necessary for the better understanding of ourselves, others, and the world around us. The class made posters showing what the theme meant to them and displayed these thoughout the school. The fifth and sixth grade G and T classes planned a field trip to the N.C. Marine Resource Center in Manteo. The trip was made in conjunction with projects and the reading of the book, Island of the Blue Dolphins. All questioning done while the students read the book were based on Bloom's Taxonomy. This questioning and thinking were extended at the Resource Center where they were asked to use all levels of thinking in the taxonomy. Much of this was accomplished in a laboratory setting which gave the children first hand experience. The sixth grade G and T classes are now involved in b film making project. The students are learning per tinent terminology and techniques before they write the script and pro ceed to make the film. It is a very exciting and dif ferent experience and a lot is being learned by the teacher as well as the students. Mrs. P.H. Hill's sixth graders at Perquimans Union School's activities for the week included panel discussions, writing essays and making posters and pins, all emphasizing the theme. The students began the week by decorating the classroom door with art and display ing posters in the classroom and hallway. At the ESEA Reading Lab, located at Per quimans Union, the students engaged in a number of activities. One group had to write essays on different topics concerning education. Another class made posters on education.
