Struggling readers who were first graders during the 2007-2008 school year may be selected and invited by their teacher to participate in this reading intervention/remediation program.  First-grade teachers provide input in determining eligibility utilizing student performance data.  This is an intensive program designed to improve the reading skills of students with reading deficits who are not ready for the next grade level of instruction.

Students will be placed in age- and skill-level groups for intensive reading and writing assistance.  Instruction will target improving reading skills, decoding, fluency, and comprehension.  Writing is integral to the literacy learning process and will also be a focus.  Student learning will be enriched with a variety of reading materials and engaging literature.

Although classes are designed primarily for students who are struggling with grade-level reading materials, students who are at grade-level would also benefit from exposure to the reading and writing strategies that will be taught.   

Students will be placed in age- and skill-level groups for intensive mathematics experiences.  Lessons will focus on nationally accepted standards. Students will develop mathematic concepts through problem solving and skills work.

Students will apply and extend their knowledge of mathematics through puzzles, games, and literature projects to foster a positive attitude and enjoyment of mathematics.

2007-2008 Kindergarten students will review reading and mathematics readiness skills critical to preparation for Grade 1.

Science Camp is designed to provide students with “hands-on” experiences in science. Students will broaden their understanding of scientific method and inquiry. Lessons are planned to stimulate interest and excitement in science.
