Elementary Math Tip: Math requires active learning. This means in order to learn math, students must complete assignments and homework. Math is not a subject where students can simply listen in class and expect to become proficient. It is a subject that builds on what is previously learned - like building blocks. Missing school and not completing work can affect a student's understanding and progress. All the "building blocks" must be in place for the continuance of successful learning.
The second grade classes have been researching wolves and today they got to Skype with a wolf expert from Wolf Haven International.

When you hear the word Garfield what do you think of? Mr. Hellman’s social studies classes were surprised to learn it was the name of a former president and not a big orange cat! Over the next week they are working on a research project where they are assigned a lesser known president and learn facts about their life and presidency. They are learning lots!

Today the North and South took a bit of a break from marching and drilling in the Civil War game. The class looked at what soldiers at that time did to pass the time when they were not marching, drilling, or fighting. One of the big activities of the time was to design a regimental flag. Groups began working on a flag of their own that could be carried into battle. General Hellman assures the troops that they will soon be “going to see the elephant” (fighting in their first battle).
