Students create an Obaminoes mural Mural helped students learn new math skills
Sy Becker WESTFIELD, Mass. (WWLP) - Students at Westfield's Franklin Avenue Elementary School are in a class all by themselves.
Honors were given on Tuesday for these boys and girls who spent two months completing a mural of President Barack Obama. A mural called "Obaminoes" was made from 2,420 dominoes.
22News followed the students progress every step of the way.
"We were the only elementary school to do this and to have a piece of artwork of our 44th president, the only African American president. It means a lot," Marissa Costa, a 5th grade student at Franklin Ave. Elementary School told 22News.
Josh Weaver, another 5th grader, said: "It makes me feel good because this is a big project. I've never done anything this big. It's really cool."
The Obaminoes mural helped hundreds of students learn linear programming math skills.
Westfield State College mathematicians worked closely with the children.

Hmmm, wonder why they didn’t choose George Washington or Abraham Lincoln?

Poor little guy—the leftists have probably already castrated him.

I’d go with “pithed” as the verb.

All Hail Our Dear Leader - wonder when those kids will be singing praises to him instead of the national anthem .... I guess some Hollywood idiot will write a song titled “All Hail Our Supreme Leader Obama” ....

It’s a neat concept, but I wonder how they decided to use Obama’s picture. Was it the choice of the students or the teacher?

That reminds me of a jonke - the punchline of which is “You’re Thor? I can hardly pith!”

Kind of like they replaced the Sig Heil salute with the thumbs-up. It doesn't say "Yes We Can" but basically gives the same message.

I’m scared. Talked with my granddad re: WWII stuff and he says it’s exactly happening the same way ... he said he’s next waiting for the Obama Brownshirt Troops ...

The Obaminoes mural helped hundreds of students learn linear programming math skills. I've taken all kinds of math classes up to advanced Calculus while in college and I've never heard of this before... Is this Obamath?
