EASTWOOD HOSTS MATH FAIR FOR
MONTGOMERY CHRISTIAN SCHOOL
Congratulations to Brewbaker Technology
Magnet High Robotics for another successful
tournament! The BrewTech team of Charlie
Longmire, Carlos Ricardo, Jason Wang and
Justin Tang won the skills championship
Award and one of two Tournament
Champions Awards!
This team is now qualified for the Alabama
VEX Robotics State Championship which
will be held on Thursday February 27th on
the Campus of Auburn University. BrewTech
Robotics now has six teams qualified for the
state championship.
Recently, Eastwood Christian School students in Mrs. Taylor’s
Algebra 2 class hosted a math fair for students in Eastwood’s own lower
school, as well as for students at Montgomery Christian School. The
Eastwood students used games, a little magic and a lot of enthusiasm to
get the younger students excited about learning math.
The math fair hosted approximately 100 students, including about
50 from each school in Kindergarten through 2nd grade. The younger
students learned about fractions, addition, subtraction and patterns
from the 10th grade Algebra 2 students, who designed all the activities
for a project grade. Groups of students rotated through four different
activities and earned a prize for completing each activity. Not only did
the math fair result in encouraging an understanding of and interest in
math, but younger and older students alike had fun doing it.

CHURCHILL TAKES AN ADVENTURE
High School students from Churchill Academy took an off-site
November adventure to the Tannehill Ironworks Historical State Park in
North Alabama. The Tannehill Furnace is listed on the National Register
of Historic Places, giving students a wealth of history to discover.
Churchill Academy students spent the day receiving a hands-on history
lesson that paired well with their in-class history teachings. Churchill
Academy believes in creating interactive learning opportunities and
Tannehill Ironworks Historical State Park provided the perfect venue.
