ENRICHMENT

This program enriches our school curriculum and provides an ungraded project-centered learning approach. Mrs. Pioli creates a learning experience for all students who attend classes on a rotating basis. Hands-on and Multiple Intelligences activities are emphasized for all students in grades K-6.

Kindergarten   Letter/Word/Number Recognition,Comprehension  

First Grade       Simple Sentence Construction/Basic Story Concepts

Second Grade   Early Creative and Process Writing

Third Grade      Intermediate Creative and Process Writing and Projects

Fourth Grade    Advanced Creative and Process Writing and Projects

Fifth Grade       Curriculum Related Projects

We make much use of Multiple Intelligences to help each student  express freely in his or her best modes of learning.

Also, Junior Great Books are offered in grades 2 through six to discuss world literature. Teacher led discussion is used in grades 2 and 3. Higher grade students create their own thought provoking questions and games to display understanding. The goal is to discover classic, age appropriate works of literature as well as to gain public speaking techniques and critical thinking skills. Students gain confidence to express their thoughts in a creative way!

EXTENSION

Extension is a unique program developed for those who qualify for a more challenging "extension" of the curriculum. Eligibility is contingent upon strong standardized test results, report card grades, and teacher recommendationEmphasis is placed upon higher order thinking skills and cooperative learning.
