Mathematics But who can count the Stars of Heaven? Who sing their influences on this Lower World? 79 Thomson Seasons Win ter In Mathematics, a primary objective is to generate true excitement in learning for each student. Last year we renewed a commitment to implement I John 3:18 . . . let us not love in word or speech but in deed and in truth. By our behavior as teachers, we leave no doubt in our students' minds that our love and concern is genuine. It's easy to get excited when there is someone who cares and thinks what you do is important. The next source ofexcitement is high expectations. Students perform up to the level of teacher's expectations. We work to lift our expectations to the highest level reasonable for the particular students abilities. It is exciting to know someone believes in you and EXPECTS nothing less than your best. The third way we generate this excitement is through being enthusiastic about our subjects and for learning in general. Perhaps the best experience for a teacher is to be a student again. Ifour students can see us as tlife-time' learners, we have taught the best possible lesson. In the last two years many Greenhill math teachers have been active learners. While the computer area leads in popularity, several teachers are working toward advanced degrees. I have enjoyed the ultimate thrill of taking the course I'm teaching. I know I am a better teacher for it. Excitement is 'caught' more than taught and the math department is very contageous. Mr. Wesley Kittleman Chairman M.A. S.M.U.

Why does the sun go down so 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 laboratory experiences, which coupled with field trips, help integrate the world of Science into the expanding world of every 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 is necessary at most levels, and the Science and Math teachers :oordinate their goals. The most fundamental skills in Science - skeptical observation and analysis - are carefully fl'- SCIENCE I now, an early riser, love to hail the dreamy struggles of the stars with light, and the recovering breath of earth sleep-drowned awakening to the wisdom of the sun.
