All About Fractions: McGuffey & Willard 3rd Grade Students journey to WCS’ SRWC to Advance Math Skills

On Friday, February 7, 2025, more than 200 third graders from the Willard and McGuffey PK-8 schools worked in groups for a cross-content field trip experience at the Warren City Schools’ Student Recreation and Wellness Center.

On the SRWC’s turf, students worked in groups of eight to lay out fraction cards and discuss what they noticed about them.

Next they used the turf lines as a number line and placed the cards from least to greatest.

Students had to be in agreement on the placement of each card before they could move on to the next one and record their answers.

Scoring Big: BB Program a ‘Slam Dunk’ for Lil’ Hoopers

Several dozen students in kindergarten through 2nd grade made their way onto the basketball court at Warren G. Harding High School during this year’s Lil’ Hoopers program.

In its second year, the program tip offed on Dec. 15 with the final session on Jan. 26.

Keelyn Franklin, a High School Intervention Specialist at Harding, explained he started the program in 2024-2025 to give younger students a chance to start playing basketball early “without the pressure of winning games or being coached.”

“There are no winners or losers in the Lil’ Hoopers program. We teach basic fundamentals in a fun energetic atmosphere that is focusing on building a love for the game without any pressure or performance based expectations,” he said.

Along with some basic basketball skills, the students were given opportunities to build team work, communication and problem solving skills they can use on or off the court.
