Summer Learning Grades 1-5
In this program, students going into grades 1-5 will be provided targeted instruction in literacy (phonics and comprehension) and math (number sense and problem solving) along with Social Emotional Learning (SEL) support. Summer Learning is a time of opportunity for students struggling in the traditional school environment to receive supplemental instruction in order to strive towards decreasing proficiency gaps. It is intended to be an intervention/prevention program that focuses on the whole child for at risk students in grades 1-5. Instructors will use an integrated approach for students to strengthen their understanding of key concepts and make connections across subject areas by being exposed to small group learning rotations. The curriculum will be standards aligned, including an emphasis on the most essential standards from the grade-level just completed as well as the prerequisite skills necessary for the next grade level.
