The Computation Math Group includes games and puzzles covering skills like addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, fractions, decimals, time, money, measurement and geometry. The Advanced Math Group works with more complicated forms of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Additionally they practice algebraic equations, logic puzzles and more through various games and activities such as Equate, Muggins, dice and card games. 2nd Monday - Writers Workshop We have an opening activity, which the children may choose to work on, or they may choose something else. Stations include a mailbox, writing prompts and an illustration activity like stamping or picture cutting. The session will end with sharing time. 3rd Monday - WSH Parent Support Meeting Families bring games and activities to share. Children play games, read, or work on other activities in one part of the room while parents meet in the other. 4th Monday - Book Club The children are divided into two groups, according to age and skill level. The Pre- and Beginning readers have a traditional story time and a related craft or activity. The more Advanced Readers have a book club discussion based on reading selections previously made by the kids. If you have any question please feel free to contact us. |
