Session Descriptions:
Name: Middle School Prep
Age: Grade 5 - 9
Offered: Week 1; PM Session & Week 2; PM Session
Instructor: Ms. Kate Mote
Learn how to ace middle school! The transition to middle school can be a tough one -- Middle School Prep will help make it smoother. Through fun activities we will learn about time and work management, organizational skills, note taking, and study techniques.
Learn how to keep an agenda and prioritize tasks. Students will learn how to organize a notebook / binder for success in class as well as note-taking and studying techniques. Appropriate for 6th, 7th, and 8th graders as well as high schoolers struggling with these skills.
Maximum enrollment is 15 students.
Name: Grammar Bootcamp
Age: Grade 5 - 8
Offered: Week 1; AM Session & Week 2; AM Session
Instructor: Ms. Kate Mote
Grammar doesn’t need to be an intimidating mystery! Through this course, students will become familiar with parts of speech, punctuation rules, and grammatical conventions so that they can take ownership of their own writing and communication as leaders.
This class will combine lessons with activities as we not only learn these important definitions and rules, but also apply them. This camp is appropriate for 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students.
Maximum enrollment is 15 students.
Name: Pre-Algebra & Algebra Skills Camp
Age: All students interested in Pre-Algebra & Algebra
Offered: Week 1; AM Session
Instructor: Dr. Ken Stanton
In this camp, we'll focus on building and strengthening the math skills most important for the pre-algebra (Course 3) and algebra (Algebra 1) courses. A brief pre-test will be given to help identify which skills each student needs the most attention with, and then each day's lessons, discussions, and practice will be focused on them. As well, this camp will coincide with an entry-level arithmetic camp, so students can move to and from the two camps as needed (pending space availability) to focus on skills they need.
Students should be prepared with pencils, erasers, a basic scientific calculator (or better, but no phones/tablets), and any previous math work that shows which skills are needed. Anticipated topics are exponents and roots; substitution; graphing foundations; solving simple equations; mathematical inverse operations; and word-problem solving skills, though it will highly depend on students' needs.
Name: Advanced Algebra Skills Camp
Age: All students interested in Advanced Algebra
Offered: Week 2; AM and PM Session
Instructor: Dr. Ken Stanton
In this camp, we'll focus on mid- to high-level algebra skills most important to Algebra 1 and 2 courses. A brief pre-test will be given to help identify which skills each student needs the most attention with, and each day's lessons, discussions, and practice will be focused on them.
Students should be prepared with pencils, erasers, a basic scientific calculator (or better, but no phones/tablets), and any previous math work that shows which skills are needed. Anticipated topics are advanced graphing of linear equations; exponent and root rules and patterns, including negative and fractional exponents; solving, reporting, and graphing inequalities; rearranging formulae; direct and inverse variation; factoring and solving quadratic equations; and solving systems of equations. Other Algebra 2 topics may be covered if time permits, such as rational polynomials and radical equations.
Name: Best of Broadway
Age: Grades 6 - 12
Offered: Week 2; All Day (Both Sessions)
Instructor: Mrs. Jane Cormier
Through "The Best of Broadway" will present a staged performance of songs from famous Broadway musicals! All "campers" will sing (solos, duets, ensembles) and will work on stage movement even with some tap dancing! Some shows will be, "Forty Second Street"; "Cabaret", "The Phantom of the Opera"; "Carousel"; "Cinderella", and "All That Jazz".
Students are also welcome to bring in their own repertoire ideas!
The camp will run July 23 - 27 and a parent performance will be held on Friday July 27 at 3:00 pm. The class will be lead by Ms. Jane Cormier, and it will run 9:00 am - 3:00 pm each day.
