We have been asked by a number of parents about our summer programs - They are all set! You will find that they come in groups of two, and in the case of Sum More Fun, 3. While it will not be required to attend all camps, we think that after your student comes to the first one, they will beg to go to the second one!
One camp will take place soon after school lets out to review and move further, and one shortly before school starts up again to prepare for the coming year!
Aspiring kindergartners will enjoy these two camps run by one of our certified Kindergarten teachers - one camp will take place soon after school lets out, and the other shortly before it starts back up. Designed to help develop fluency and comprehension, your child will open books with confidence.
Two camps focused on rising 1st graders. Students will learn the joys of oral reading using expressive and animated voices, as well as learn methods to increase comprehension! One camp will take place shortly after school lets out for the summer, and the other right before school picks back up so students will have a jump on the new year!
Students will learn the joy of writing. They will learn how to properly express their ideas in clear and crisp sentences.
Developed for the rising 2nd grader in mind! Students entering 2nd grade not only need to begin polishing their oral reading skills, but also they need to develop some pretty serious comprehension, inference, and active reading skills.
Learning to tell time and count money is a hard task for many rising 2nd graders. In fact it is a key skill stressed in 2nd grade classes. Knowing how to tackle these concepts puts students ahead!
Students need foundations. All of math is built upon certain foundational skills. During this course students will hone their addition and subtraction skills.
Students will improve fluency, word recognition and confidence as they participate in Reading Theatre with parts specific to each grade level! Older students also will develop leadership potential as they mentor & model for younger campers.
Students will learn basic essay structure as they observe and describe using age appropriate language. Students will build partner skills as they improve through peer editing and publication of their work.
A camp designed to help 3rd and 4th graders work through proper sentence structure, story ideas and designs, and develop better math skills.
A math camp designed to make multiplication and division second nature for students - we will be going over tips and tricks and learn how to solve many seemingly complex math problems in our heads!
We have seen a number of students who had difficulty with fractions this year - This camp aims to take the fear and confusion out of fractions: converting, reducing, cross multiplying, writing in mixed number, improper or decimal form. Reasons for terror go on and on, however in this camp we'll learn how to conquer them all!
Last school year many students seemed to have difficulty with elapsed time and measurement conversions. Our goal this week is to create elapsed time fiends and measurement monsters! Watch out!
We all remember encountering at least one word problem that we swore had a typo because there was no WAY they really expected us to figure out what time Train A left the station, or how old Rita's best friend's cousin was! This camp is designed to help students develop strategies and skills to tackle seemingly impossible word problems.
This camp designed for middle-schoolers will deal with determining rates of change - (important for algebra work later) and ratios such as figuring out how tall a tree is if its shadow is 20 feet long and your shadow is 6 feet long (important for geometry work later).
Girls and co-ed camp run by our own Jean Porter (the former guidance counselor from Northwood Middle!), and boys camp run by Philip Pruitt - Designed to take some of the unknown and fear out of entering Middle School.
