Weekly Math Fun: Fraction Fun with Pizza! 🍕➗ This week, turn pizza night into a hands-on fraction lesson the whole family can enjoy! Using real-life food makes math more engaging and helps kids visualize fractions in action. Math Skills in Pizza: 🔢 Counting & Partitioning – Recognizing how a whole pizza is divided into equal slices builds fraction understanding. 🟰 Equivalent Fractions – Exploring different cuts (halves, fourths, eighths) reinforces relationships between fractions. ➗ Fair Sharing & Division – Splitting slices evenly introduces division with fractions in a meaningful way. 🤔 Problem-Solving – Asking “What happens if we change the number of slices?” encourages critical thinking. Try challenging your child to compare fractions, predict how much is left after eating slices, or find new ways to divide the pizza! Stay tuned for next week's post, where we’ll explore another fun way to bring math into everyday moments! 🍽️📏✨

Dear Parents and Guardians, It is with deep sorrow and heavy hearts that we inform you of the passing of one of our staff members, Mr. Andrew Pollard. Mr. Pollard was most recently a staff member at the Eisenhower campus but spent time in many buildings throughout the district over the years. Most notably, he was a valuable part of the district gifted program. He was an exceptional, remarkable educator who dedicated his time and energy to nurturing our students' minds and creating a warm, supportive environment as a caring, trusted mentor in our district. He touched the lives of everyone around him with his kind heart, passion for teaching Art, and commitment to our community. His passing deeply affects all who knew him, and we recognize that this news may be especially difficult for children throughout the district. The district offers support to all students and staff as we cope with this difficult news. Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM) teams, in addition to school counselors, will be available in each building for any student who may need assistance processing this loss. We encourage you to reach out to us if you feel your child will need support. If your child has recently experienced loss this can often serve as a triggering event for them. Please understand that CISM teams are not grief counselors but can and will make referrals for outside agency support. We understand that children may have different ways of responding to grief, and we will do everything we can to help them through this challenging time. Additionally, the Warren County School District utilizes Safe2Say as a resource for parents and students to anonymously give information about those they feel are struggling and may need additional support. Information can be entered directly at https://www.safe2saypa.org/ or calling (844)723-2729. As we remember and honor Mr. Pollard, we ask that you join us in keeping his family, friends, and our school community in your thoughts and prayers during this very difficult time. Thank you for your understanding, and please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns.

It has come to our attention that a student in the district has a confirmed case of pertussis (whooping cough). Pertussis is a highly contagious disease that is spread through the air when an infected person sneezes or coughs. Pertussis begins with cold symptoms and a cough which becomes much worse over 1-2 weeks. Symptoms usually include a long series of coughs (“coughing fits”) followed by a whooping noise. The cough is often worse at night and cough medicines usually do not help alleviate the cough. The Pennsylvania Department of Health strongly recommends anyone with symptoms promptly contact your child’s doctor. Please refer to the link provided on our website for more information on pertussis. https://www.cdc.gov/pertussis/signs-symptoms/index.html

Weekly Math Fun: Scavenger Hunt Math! 🔍✨ This week, make math active with a Scavenger Hunt Math Game! Instead of solving problems on paper, kids will search for objects around the house to model math equations. Math Skills in Action: Multiplication & Division – Finding and grouping objects reinforces the connection between repeated addition, equal groups, and division as sharing. Problem-Solving – There’s more than one way to represent a number! Encourage kids to find different combinations that match the same equation. Pattern Recognition – Seeing numbers arranged in sets helps build an understanding of arrays and factors. Mental Math – Quickly determining how many objects are needed strengthens number sense and estimation skills. Try using this game to practice skip counting, fractions (e.g., finding half of a total), or even measurement by collecting objects of different lengths or weights! Stay tuned for next week’s post, where we’ll introduce another creative way to bring math into everyday life! 🎲📏

Weekly Math Fun: Estimation Game! 🤔✨ This week’s activity builds number sense through a fun estimation challenge! Fill a jar with small objects like beans, marbles, or candies, and have your child estimate how many are inside. Then, count together to see how close they were! 💡 Why It Works: - Strengthens estimation skills and mental math - Encourages logical reasoning and number sense - Makes math interactive and engaging Ways to adapt for older children: 📏 Volume and Measurement: Have students estimate the volume of the jar and predict how many objects would fit if the jar was larger or smaller. ➗ Averaging Estimates: Ask multiple people to estimate and have your child find the mean, median, and mode of the guesses. 📊 Data Representation: Record multiple guesses and compare them using a bar graph or line plot. 🔢 Range and Rounding: Give a range instead of an exact number (e.g., "between 50 and 70") and refine the estimate using rounding strategies. Stay tuned for next week's activity, where we'll explore another exciting way to practice math at home! 🎉📐
