This program provides the perfect opportunity to reinforce the concepts described in the Common Core State Standards through mini-lessons and small group activities in Reading, Writing, and Math.
- Our ELA (English Language Arts) Program will focus on the concepts described in the Common Core State Standards and will include using skill-based practice, genre studies, and responses to literature. We encourage children to predict, analyze, comprehend and develop graphic organizers.
- As established in the Common Core State Standards, our Math Programs will include skill-based practice and problem-solving using real-world situations. We will encourage children to use critical thinking, reasoning, and a variety of strategies to solve problems.
We look forward to helping your child develop a positive attitude toward learning.
