On Wednesday, May 10, 2023, Greater Holy Temple Christian Academy 4th graders attended a field trip to the Milwaukee Brewers' "Math Day" at American Family Field. As part of this educational day, the students learned basic statistical principles through the game of baseball. In advance of the game, teachers were provided with a Brewers Math Day workbook to incorporate into their lesson plans leading up to the event. At the game, students put their math skills to the test by completing the workbook using elements of the game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Each student received a free hot dog and bottled water while they enjoyed the game. An HTGroup, LLC Publication
Metropolitan Milwaukee Alliance of Black School Educators Teacher of the Year, Bette Annette Davis said. "My philosophy is, 'I teach my scholars'. "As a science teacher at Milwaukee Environmental Sciences Academy, my overarching goal is to engage my scholars with enthusiasm and teach them how to speak and articulate scientific data with clarity. I love STEM! (Science Technology Engineering and Math) So, let’s face it; our scholars must be able to compete as future STEM professionals. Daily, I tell my scholars they are scientifically amazing. Lastly, it is my privilege to ultimately infuse an attitude of positive scientific awareness of the amazing world of science. Also, I believe, math teaches you how…but science teaches you why?” Bette was awarded the honor on Friday, May 5, 2023, at the Wisconsin Center. www.milwaukeetimesnews.com
