Mrs. Susan Grizzle
Subject: Math / Technology
I began teaching at Chapel Hill Christian School in the fall of 1986 as the Math Specialist when my daughter was in 1st grade and my son was in pre-kindergarten. Several years later, the position of Technology Coordinator was also added to my responsibilities at CHCS. I have a Bachelor's Degree from the University of Akron in education with math as my specialty and began working with computers there, as well. I really enjoy working with students for math tutoring and math enrichment. I also help keep the computers up and running and provide technical support for the teachers. I coordinate the Math Olympics for the North Campus.
You will find me at the Green Campus all day on Mondays where I help the teachers and students with their classroom computers and iBooks (laptops) and teach a unit on Computer Literacy to the 4th grade students. On Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, I am in the Mod at the North Campus. I work with small groups of students for either math tutoring or math enrichment. I teach the unit on Computer Literacy to the 4th grade students here, too. I assist the teachers with their classroom computers and the iBooks (laptop computers). My mission as I work with students is to assist them in improving their math skills and to have some fun with math, too. I want to help prepare students for using technology in the 21st century, as well. The Lord has blessed me with this wonderful opportunity to serve Him at CHCS. My husband is a pastor in Hartville, Ohio. Both of our children graduated from Chapel Hill Christian School. Our daughter, Sarah, is married to Shaun Byler and lives in Hartville. She has a degree in accounting/business administration and likes to work with numbers, too! Our son, Seth, works for Westlake Reed Leskosky Architecture Firm in Washington DC.  Click To Enlarge

What's Special About Math Mod?
Math Tutoring Students who are struggling or need some extra help in math come to the Math Mod once a week. These students work on math topics that are being covered in the classroom plus basic math facts. Usually, a portion of their time each week is spent on the computers in the Math Mod using various math software that reinforces math concepts worked on that day or gives practice on basic math facts. Math Enrichment Some students who are excelling in math may be selected to come to the Math Mod once a week for Math Enrichment. During this time different topics and areas of math are covered, especially reasoning, along with some fun activities for math. The students also use computers in the Math Mod to extend and challenge their math abilities. ACSI Math Olympics Each year, all the students in grades 3-6 take part in testing to select students to participate in the ACSI Math Olympics. Six students from each grade are chosen to participate in this contest - three in the area of computation and three in the area of reasoning. They are "coached" for several weeks before the competition in the Math Mod. Then, the students compete against students from 8-9 other Christian schools in the area. The participants do receive ribbons and/or certificates according to their performance. Major Events Of This Year
