Marburn Academy Summer School 2019

MARBURN AC A DEMY

SUMMER SCHOOL JUNE 20–JULY 19, 2019

arburn’s Summer School is a four-week educational program for rising Kindergarten through ninth graders, designed specifically for students who have language and math-based learning differences. Instruction and lessons in language and mathematics are delivered in small group or 1:1 settings using multisensory, hands-on techniques that reinforce and promote retention of information.

Throughout the summer, students discover academic strengths, build confidence, prevent the summer slide, and prepare for the next grade level.

In addition to the morning program, we are excited to partner with Camp COSI on Wheels to offer an extended day option for students entering 2nd through 9th grade. This option is available only to those who attend the morning Summer School Program. Students have the option to enroll by the week, up to all four weeks. Two COSI Educators will lead the program, and Marburn Summer Staff will help facilitate and support students during activities.

Phonemic Awareness Open to students entering Kindergarten and 1st Grade Phonemic awareness is universally recognized as the single most important precursor skill for reading success. Marburn’s activity-based class is designed to improve phonemic awareness in young children.

Daily curriculum includes:

• Rhyming games and activities to recognize and generate rhyming pairs • Syllabication practice of departing words into phonemes (sounds) • Auditory perception practice by

recognizing sounds that are the same and different

• Letter recognition to facilitate connection of sounds to the written form

Dates: June 20–July 19

Daily classes include:

Daily classes include:

Orton-Gillingham—1:1 individualized tutoring to teach and reinforce decoding and encoding instruction using the OrtonGillingham approach. This approach is diagnostic and prescriptive, using multisensory instruction to teach linguistic concepts for reading and spelling.

Language Lab—Students work to solidify language arts skills using gradeappropriate text complexity which is critical for content understanding and expression of ideas. Throughout the class they will use the Keys to Literacy approach to construct and deconstruct the text, enhancing their understanding of vocabulary, comprehension, and written expression. Students will also be provided with instruction in keyboarding and assistive technology.

Language Lab—Designed to address vocabulary, comprehension, and written expression using the Keys to Literacy approach. Students will work to solidify language arts skills that are critical for content understanding and expression of ideas, which includes instruction in keyboarding.

Mathematics—Students will have recursive practice with basic facts, reinforcement of critical concepts from the previous school year, and provided intervention to strengthen procedural fluency. This approach uses the Concrete-Representational-Abstract model to connect conceptual understanding with procedural fluency.

Mathematics—Designed to provide recursive practice and reinforcement of the critical components and concepts from the previous school year. This includes working with conceptual understanding, procedural fluency, and the application of these concepts in unknown situations.

CS First—Will address problem-solving and computational thinking skills through engaging and hands-on computer science activities. Students work in teams to complete tasks using problem solving and communication strategies.

Become the Scientist (A,B): Question, touch, build, create, and learn with Camp COSI on Wheels! In this spectacularly scientific summer adventure, you’ll step into the shoes of a new kind of scientist each day, and with refreshed activities for 2019! Launch into space to explore rockets and rovers one day, then explore the inner workings of the human body the next. From our environment to engineering and the science of living things Superhero Science (A,B): It’s a bird! It’s a plane! Nah, it’s super-science! Backed by a team of comic book heroes, you’ll use science to bring “impossible” super powers to life! We’ll

experiment with air pressure, friction, and more, then create our own heroes to keep the city safe with science on our side!

Robotics (A,B): What is a robot? How does it work? COSI’s Beginner Robotics is the way to find out! In this incredible introductory workshop, we’ll explore energy, circuitry, and the “language” robots speak: programming.

Coaster Creators (A,B,C): Hold on tight! This open inquiry, engineering design workshop is filled with ups and downs as you explore the engineering process, communication, and collaboration. Explore gravity, friction, momentum, and more! If you can

All I can say is that Marburn summer school was so great for my child...it’s the best choice we could have made for her education.

dream it, you can design it, build it, test it, and redesign it until your coaster is ready to thrill.

Robotics (C): Become a part of an engineering team using a LEGO® Mindstorms® EV3 robot – a sophisticated and state-of-the-art handheld robot waiting for your input. In this intermediate level programming design workshop, you’ll put your robot to the test as you assemble a program to complete a dizzying challenge.

problems, test your collaboration skills, and find engineering in unexpected places... Build straw skyscrapers to withstand wind, create your own allin-one surgical tool, dissect wind-up toys to explore their inner workings, and more!

Video Game Design (C): Explore “the science behind the screens” as we take an up-close look at the art of video games and the coding that brings them to life. Together, we’ll make pixel artwork of our own, learn more about computer memory, programming, and problem solving, and then dig Design, Build, Test (C): Join COSI for a week of into the basics of Scratch – a simple, block-based engineering experiences that will set you loose to online coding platform – to see just how complex design, build, test, and redesign to solve real world video games can be.

After the first day of the Marburn Summer Program, my daughter got in the car with tears of joy. She finally knew she A C A Dothers E M Ywith learning differences and teachers that was amongst understood her. She was excited to go every single day. Not only did her reading and writing skills improve through this program, but most importantly, so did her confidence.
