Applied Math and Baseball Hit Home Run
Chardon Middle School seventh-grade teachers hosted the Chardon High School varsity baseball team for a second annual installment of Baseball Day. The all-day event on Sept. 21 integrated the real-life application of mathematics, as well as mentorship and exercise.
Baseball Day comprises an interactive presentation led by head coach Brian Long to guide seventh-grade students in making connections on how their newly acquired math skills with ratios, stats, probability and applied analytics have real-life application in a baseball team’s strategy for success.
The presentation was followed by camaraderie among Chardon varsity baseball athletes and the seventh-grade students through outdoor games of wiffle ball followed by the movie “Sandlot” and CMS PTO-provided snacks of popcorn and hot dogs.
Event organizers were CMS math teachers Stephanie Steinmetz and Stephanie Curitore and participating Chardon student baseball athletes included Tyler Gideon, Daniel Joaquin, Mason Wolf, Logan Gunnoe, Charlie Clark, Will Francis, Stone Fawcett and Kyle McCoy.
CMS principal Adam Tomco stated, “I celebrate the creativity and dedication of our teachers for creating this learning experience. Baseball Day is one of my favorite activities of the school year. Thank you to Coach Long, members of the CHS baseball team and our PTO for their support.”
All About Me
Chardon Early Learning Center kindergarten students in Mrs. Maheu’s class got to know each other better this month through a Super Student of the Day showcase. Each student worked on an “about me” poster at home and brought in the completed poster to share with the class, providing the Tiny Toppers with an opportunity to practice their public-speaking and social skills.
After each student’s presentation, their peers had the opportunity to ask the presenter about their favorite things, including foods, colors and more.
Mrs. Maheu stated, “We loved learning all about everyone in our school family.”
