Weekly Math Fun: Measurement Mix! 📏🔍 This week, turn simple household items into math tools with a fun, hands-on activity that explores length, comparison, and units of measure! Whether your child is using crayons or measuring tape, they’ll build important math concepts through active exploration. Extend the Learning: 🧮 Estimation Practice – Before measuring, ask your child to guess how many objects long the line will be. Were they close? What might affect their estimate? 🔄 Try New Objects – Switch it up by using different non-standard units: LEGO bricks, spoons, toy cars—anything that fits the line! 📊 Record & Compare – Create a chart with the name of each object and how many it took to measure the line. Which item gave the most accurate result? 💬 Ask Thinking Questions – •“Why might your measurement change if you use different objects?” •“When might it be important to use a ruler instead of other items?” This activity builds number sense and introduces key concepts in estimation, measurement, and precision—all with tools you already have at home. Stay tuned for next week’s post, where we’ll explore another way to make math fun and meaningful in everyday moments! 🧠✨

Warren Area High School nominates Leihden Wotorson for the C.L.A.S.S. Act Emerging Leader for IU5. Leihden has been a leader among his classmates and has proven in his academic and extracurricular endeavors that he is worthy of being a C.L.A.S.S. Act Nominee. Leihden has been an excellent academic student at WAHS and previously at Sheffield Area High School, taking a challenging courseload while being involved in numerous extracurricular activities. Leihden has maintained an excellent GPA while taking advanced courses including AP and Dual Enrollment offerings. Leihden plans on attending college next year to major in a career in the Business/Finance field. In the building Leihden has been active in Key Club, a Class Officer, Varsity Club, the "Flannel Panel", Varsity Basketball, and Varsity Golf. Leihden has been a team captain for both the Sheffield basketball team and this year after transferring for the WAHS basketball team, a testament to his leadership qualities as soon by both schools and coaching staffs. In addition to school sponsored activities, Leihden has been involved in a number of organizations outside of school. He has participated heavily over the years in AAU basketball, traveling long distances throughout the week and to tournaments on the weekends. He has volunteered at the food pantry in Sheffield in his free time. Leihden is admired by administration and the teaching staff for his relentlessly positive attitude and demeanor. He also exhibits a tremendous family bond with his parents and his siblings, seen nightly as he is attending and extremely supportive of his siblings in their athletic and academic endeavors. Most nights, Leihden and his younger sister are the loudest supporters of each other in the gymnasium or on the athletic field. Leihden made the difficult decision to transfer schools due to a looming reconfiguration/consolidation in our school district during his senior year. This decision allowed him to take advanced classes to prepare for his future. These decisions and activities are a testament to his empathy, giving, time-management, tireless work ethic, loyalty, and fearlessness in his convictions, all traits associated with future leaders. Leihden is an excellent representative for Warren Area High School, the town of Sheffield, and Warren County as a whole, and I hope that you will consider Leihden for the C.L.A.S.S. Act Emerging Leader program.

I am honored to nominate Cali Chapman as a C.L.A.S.S. Act Emerging Leader. Throughout high school, Cali has demonstrated exceptional leadership, responsibility, and dedication to both her school and community. Her contributions as a student leader, volunteer, athlete, and academic achiever make her a deserving candidate for this recognition. As the Class of 2025 President for three consecutive years, Cali has shown dedication and leadership. She also served in Student Council, progressing from Secretary to Vice President, and has been an active member of Key Club throughout high school. These roles require perseverance and a strong work ethic, which she has consistently displayed. Her academic commitment is also evident through her taking six dual enrollment courses at Pitt Bradford, balancing rigorous coursework with extracurricular activities. Cali was named 2023 Warren County Fair Queen Runner-Up, reflecting her integrity and ability to serve as a role model. Through Key Club, Cali has contributed to numerous service projects, always looking for ways to give back. Her volunteerism extends to local organizations as well, where she coaches a mini hip-hop team at her cheer gym and volunteering as a Junior Auxiliary at the Sugar Grove Fire Department. She has mentored elementary students, demonstrating patience, responsibility, and a passion for helping others succeed. In addition to her leadership and volunteer work, Cali maintains employment while balancing a rigorous academic and extracurricular schedule. Cali exemplifies respect toward teammates and coaches, fostering positive relationships. Her involvement in athletics, including high school cheerleading from 7th through 12th grade and varsity softball since 9th grade, highlights her ability to work as part of a team, while her leadership sets a good example for younger teammates. Outside of school, Cali is an integral part of the Extreme Athletix competitive cheer and dance team. Cali has been accepted to the University of Pittsburgh Main Campus. This further demonstrates that she is not only recognized on a school / community level but that this prestigious university recognizes and wants her to bring these characteristics with her to contribute to their campus going forward.

📵 Testing Tip #6: Limit Nighttime Screens Try to limit screen time the night before a test to help your child wind down and fall asleep more easily. Blue light affects sleep quality and screen time can overstimulate the brain. Turn off TVs, tablets, and phones at least 30–60 minutes before bed. Encourage quiet activities like drawing, puzzles, journaling, or reading to help your child wind down.📱🚫💤
