Electronic email is used to notify teachers of their turn for class news or guest appearances. Teachers and support staff appear on the program for their birthday, just like the students do. Teachers offer ideas for subjects to be integrated with the program to augment their classroom teaching. Club Math Facts Club is a third grade math club designed to help students understand and improve their math skills. Areas are reinforced by teaching math tricks such as zero times a number is always zero, one times a number is the number, counting by fives and tens, and the nines trick, just to name a few.
Students play math games and practice drills are given.
The emphasis is on having fun while learning math. Members have hands-on experiences with experiments, scientific and mathematical tools, collecting and recording data, and learning by demonstration and application that math is an integral part of science. Two students from each classroom, grades 1-3, are chosen to represent each classroom. Its purposes are to develop good citizens at school, at home, and in the community, to encourage better cooperation and sharing responsibilities between students, teachers, and parents, to help to provide a program of enjoyable activities, to help in working on community projects, to promote good sportsmanship and to provide students with opportunities for developing their leadership qualities. The SCA representatives plan activities and share ideas, which they then share with their classmates.
