Chicago Public Schools Area 6 teachers visit Kyuden Elementary School. (Courtesy www.sabinjapan.blogspot.com)
Lesson from Japan helps teachers here improve Recently in a sixth-grade classroom at Sabin Elementary, math instructor Jaime McLaughlin was teaching 11-year-olds how to add positive and negative numbers. "Eighteen plus -4," student Chastity Rice said, stretching a ruler toward the blackboard. "I started at 18, and went back 4. I ended up at 14."

SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT Another city deal for Daley nephew Comment from tryingtosurvive: I for one am sooooo sick of this being allowed to go on....Why is this still being allowed? Should they not be made to disclose ALL of their hidden investors...i.e. Daley's family or anyone else for that matter. There needs to be LAWS passed to prevent friends and family to do continue to do this. Its abuse of power pure and simple. Keep it up Mr. Mayor. Have something to say? Comment.

Adam Burish's Blog: Why we fight in the NHL Well, as many of you know, much to my mother's displeasure, I get myself into the odd fight throughout the NHL season. I am often asked, 'Why do you do that?' and 'How do those fights starts?' or 'What do guys say before a fight?' There's also the old, 'What's the point of fighting, you look like a meathead.'

Hawks' center of ascension Focus, effort keys to home opener

Biggest Bull lighter, still getting better When Aaron Gray arrived at the Berto Center a little more than a year ago, the first thing that stood out about him was his size. He was a legitimate 7-footer with a solid frame. For a team lacking in size at center, the addition of Gray was a welcome sight.

Lifestyles Runners kept well-watered The heat was on Sunday, but that didn't stop thousands of runners from crossing the finish line at the 31st Chicago Marathon. With temperatures in the mid-80s, organizers elevated a race-day alert system to "Red/High," meaning potentially dangerous conditions, three hours into the race.

Entertainment Fleet Foxes stand out amid latest indie-rock wave Concert review: Fleet Foxes released its self-titled debut last spring on Sub Pop, the 20-year Seattle label that is enjoying a state of renewal. But this band is especially unique. Beginning and sometimes ending with milky harmonies, often sung a cappella and in three or four parts, the band captured the spiritual highs of the Beach Boys but also the dreamy witness bearing associated with the short-lived, but highly revered cult band Neutral Milk Hotel.

Business Can world fix Humpty Dumpty markets? Terry Savage: Humpty Dumpty had a great fall. All the king’s horses and all the king’s men couldn’t put Humpty together again! As the stock market struggles to find a bottom, I’m reminded of that old nursery rhyme. Leaders of the world’s industrialized countries are struggling to find a solution that will put the system together again. But the cracks are too great.
