with reasoning, memorizing, analyzing, and conceptualizing through reading, discussing, and doing. They have utilized a wide variety of materials including films, posters, maps, games, art, primary source readings, flags, costumes, stories, and so on. Building on this foundation, the Faculty also design out-of-class learning activities such as field trips and camp-outs, plays, and dramatic presentations, homework, and commemorative events fTlianksgiving feasts, Chinese New Year, Texas Plays, Columbus Day Playsj. And they have initiated integrative learning activities in historylsocial studies subjects which involve other disciplines and, thus, their whole grade team: Western Days, Medieval and Rennaissance Days, and so on. Thus, the Faculty seek to inspire enthusiasm for learning through their own enthusiasm for these disciplines which provide opportunities for personal growth as well as for creative teaching and multi-faceted relationships with students.

Students at Greenhill are involved in science courses at virtually every level, from Kindergarten to the twelfth grade. Through these courses they study patterns, natural laws, environmental interactions, and their own growth and development. Hands on, laboratory experiences, coupled with field trips, help integrate the world of science into the expanding World of each student. Integration with their other courses at school is also emphasized. Science teachers pay particular attention to the development of reading and writing skills. Mathematics are necessary at many levels, and the science and math teachers coordinate their goals. The most fundamental skills in science-skeptical observa- tion and analysis-are carefully nurtured throughout the curriculum. Finally, the joy of learning about the world we live in is a key element in the teaching of science at Greenhill. QQ-q' ' Hmm . . . maybe I should have worn a polo.
