| Robotics Grade PK-6 Our students engage in the Robotics Program. They create a robot on the iPad and identifying the robot’s movements. Then, they build the robot using specially designed Legos. Using the program the students designed, the robot will perform tasks. The Robotics Program is part of the STREAM Program. |
| STREAM Program Grades PK-6 STREAM stands for science, technology, religion, engineering, art, and math. The program was designed to have our students engage in project-based activities that have them collaborating with each other in small groups. The children are placed in groups of three or four and are given a project to complete. Each project comes with a set of criteria the students have to follow. They work in their groups designing, building, testing, and tweaking their projects. The teacher does nothing more than facilitate the projects. |
| Summer Reading Challenge Grades PK-6 This is a summer program. All children are invited to take the Summer Reading Challenge: to read a minimum of five books suited to their reading level. Students in preschool and kindergarten may be read to by an adult. The children record the title and author of their books and turn these in at the start of the school year. All who participate receive a dress down pass and enjoy a pizza party. |
