Using a workshop model, students who’ve completed first and second grades will begin each day with hands-on math instruction, aligned with District 181’s Singapore math, “Math in Focus” concepts and skills learned in grades 1 and 2. Learning will focus on reviewing completed grade level concepts and previewing each child’s upcoming grade’s math concepts and skills. Math time will be followed by both a reading workshop and a writing workshop. In both reading workshop and writing workshop, students will participate in daily mini lessons, followed by individual reading and writing time, with individual coaching, strategy lessons, and peer sharing. Writing workshop additionally will encompass mini lessons that teach your child to think, plan, write, and add to a piece. No more need for organizers! Your child will learn strategies that will enable him/ her to organize and grow a piece with independence. Writing workshop will encompass the study of personal narrative as well as nonfiction writing and will include taking at least one piece of writing to publication. Come with us on a journey that will “GROW YOUR MIND!”

4,5 We Will Thrive

Our class will include differentiated mathematics, writing, and reading. We will delve into math games that help students become math thinkers. Plays and novel study will be integrated into our ELA class. Activity breaks will be incorporated within the session.

We are thrilled to introduce PALS (Peaceful, Aware, Leaders, Students) by mentoring the “1,2,3 Let’s Grow” class to build positive relationships and leadership skills. This is a two-hour class running from 8am-10am and 10am-12pm.

This class welcomes incoming 6th graders to middle school and offers tips and tricks to become acclimated with a new school. We focus on executive functioning strategies and SELAS lessons to make their next three years successful.

Using RUSH curriculum, students will participate in various activities related to executive functioning, including: self assessment of skills, organization of materials and time, understanding directions, goal setting, goal monitoring, and understanding the brain.

Will Jack get down a zip-line to escape the giant? Can the princess really feel the pea?

Will the bridge support the billygoats? Explore and experiment with fairy tales. Students will read, participate in hands-on STEM activities, perform, and create projects to bring fairy tales to life.

Have you ever wondered how you make paper from a tree, how many stars are in the universe, or why donuts have holes? We will explore the answers to many everyday questions like these. You will also have the opportunity to find the answers to your own “wonders” using the website, “Wonderopolis,” and other online sources.

Use sketches, lines, and words to make the most of your learning. Learn strategies to deepen your learning using both digital and paper/pencil techniques.

Students will explore mythology from around the world. We will compare and contrast various myths and determine their influence on our culture and language today.

Speak up! Be more confident when you are speaking and improve your writing, too!

Also, students will collaborate with a team to research and debate different topics.

Students will listen to wonderful literature read aloud each day in order to inspire their own writing. We will read and write in the genres of fiction, nonfiction and poetry. At the end of the four-week session, students will have several completed writing pieces.

Fundations makes learning to read fun in a multisensory way! Students will strengthen their phonemic awareness skills, work on handwriting formation and practice high frequency words, with all of these skills working together to become more fluent readers.

Chefs, artists, scientists and so much more! This class will incorporate a daily theme using picture books, crafts and games to create excitement about reading.

This integrative teaching approach will engage students in creative art projects based on children’s literature. Student will conclude the session by creating their own version of a children’s book. Parents will be invited to an open house on the last day to view the projects.

In this unified teaching approach, students will explore children’s literature while gaining an understanding of math concepts that evolve from the literature. Students will become aware of the everyday situations in which math presents itself.

Have a “role” in practicing your fluency. Students will have the opportunity to rehearse together and create props to put on a play. Reader’s Theatre will encourage expression and fluency attributes such as pause, intonation, and inflection.

This course supports the development of fundamental comprehension and critical thinking strategies. Students practice before-, during-, and after-reading techniques in order to sharpen the skills needed to read confidently and analytically. Techniques emphasized include annotating, framing intelligent questions, and writing to think.

Students will have the opportunity to read their middle school suggested summer reading novels. Students will create a reading schedule, learn and use annotation strategies, and analyze and discuss literature all while getting their summer reading out of the way.
