This course is designed to maximize your child’s potential in preparation for first grade. Curriculum content will include building and enhancing reading skills, phonemic awareness, fluency, and decoding skills. Your child will build his/her skills in written expression through daily handwriting practice, sentence construction, proper grammar usage and the overall fundamentals of becoming an avid writer. Reading fluency and comprehension are at the core of this grade level. Developing reading strategies to assist concepts of print and promote fluency and comprehension are the cornerstone of our reading series. Leveled readers and weekly reading inventories ensure that our students are challenged. The comprehensive approach taken to teach both reading and writing ensures that our students become both readers and authors; promoting autonomy and independence as they engage in the complexities of the curriculum.
This course is designed to prepare your child for the rigors and challenges of second grade. Students will be exposed to various genres of writing, as they learn the basics of story elements and characterization. Context clues and decoding skills will help your child become a more fluent and independent reader. Our writing focus will be the creation of deep, meaningful sentences that take the form of interrogatives, statements, and exclamations with the goal of creating a descriptive piece of writing. Extensive vocabulary work and an integrated spelling program relevant to the stories will bring greater depth to these young writers as they become their own authors. Mathematical concepts such as addition, subtraction and regrouping comprise our core curriculum. Multiplication using skip counting, division of single and double digit numbers and basic fractions are taught as well using counters, tangrams, and charts to clarify abstract concepts. Additional skills such as basic money-sense, units of measure, and thermometer use are included as students master previous concepts; scaffolding of instruction is implemented as best practices of pedagogy and learning.
Mathematical concepts such as problem solving, operations, and number sense will be taught using hands-on manipulatives, while students work cooperatively on various activities. Additionally, the use of Cuisenaire rods and snap cubes will enhance your child’s number sense by making “numbers” come to life. “Real-Life” math opportunities will be provided as students will “shop” the local book store and make change. Visual representation of math is integrated in the form of pie and bar charts while the children make meaningful connections to their daily experiences. Daily enrichment activities such as art, computers, physical education, yoga/meditation and music will provide students with a dynamic, integrated learning experience. The last day of the program will include a “Celebration of Learning.” Both students and parents will participate in activities that highlight the six-week academic journey. There will be no Lunch Bunch or Stay and Play on August 5.

Lunch Bunch provides students with lunch each day and the opportunity to eat and mingle with their classmates. For some, it will be a time for winding down from a busy morning, eating a healthy lunch and getting ready to go home. For others, it will be a time to regroup and prepare for an afternoon of summer, fun-filled activities. Children will have the opportunity to play during a supervised recess. “Cinema Hour” has been a popular addition to Lunch Bunch hour as students needing to wind down view a g-rated film reinforcing the curriculum and relevant themes for that particular week.
Summer and sun-filled activities make the Stay and Play program a very popular one. Children will be invited to participate in afternoon recreational activities. Both fine and gross motor skills are challenged as they engage in obstacle courses, water-play and our latest addition to the program, miniature golf!

Sports Camps
Summer Session
Construction on Campus Several facility enhancement projects will be in progress on the Newark Academy campus this summer. As a result, there will be areas both inside the building and on the grounds and driveways that will have restricted access. Should it be necessary to implement revised traffic patterns for drop-off and pick-up, enrolled summer program participants will be notified by email. School personnel will also be on site to direct the flow of traffic. Important construction updates will be posted on the Newark Academy website: www.newarka.edu/construction

Drop-Off and Pick-Up Procedure In order to accommodate the high volume of traffic during drop-off and pick-up, please follow these important guidelines. Upon entering the campus, drive carefully. Do not use your cell phone while driving. Please do not leave your car or double-park in the main circle or driveway. If you need to get out of your car to find your child, please proceed to the parking lot and park in an available parking space. Traffic attendants will be on-site during drop-off and pick-up times and will provide further instructions as needed. For Summer Sports Camps Enter the main driveway at Newark Academy and proceed to the stop sign. Turn right and follow the road around the parking lot. A sign for Mott-Leeney Baseball Camp and Summer Sports Camps will be prominently displayed at the drop-off area and entrance to the building. At the end of the camp session, please pick up your child at the same location. For Summer Session and Workshops Please drop off your child in the main circle in front of the school.
