Let's Get Ready for Fourth Grade: 12 Week Summer Camp Review- 2x a week

Let's Get Ready for Fourth Grade! Summer Review & Prep Camp 🥳

In this 10-week, twice-a-week class, we will review all third-grade math, grammar, and writing skills in a fun summer camp atmosphere. 

WHAT MAKES OUR REVIEW CLASSES DIFFERENT:

1.. I use the SPIRAL APPROACH TO AVOID LEARNING LOSS as much as possible. 

2. Taught by CERTIFIED TEACHER WITH CLASSROOM EXPERIENCE!  

3. We have FUN!!! Games, Games, and more Games!! New, fun, and different! 


🎯  Benefits of spiral review vs. skill-only instruction:
I am a firm believer in keeping skills fresh through spiraling reviews. If I teach a skill during the first class, then we do not revisit it, then, the students will struggle to retain this skill until the beginning of the new school year. So, not only will we review grammar and math skills through spiral review, but the reading skills will also be reviewed in each class. I have just listed the reading skills that will be highlighted each week. I will also stop and have a lesson on any particular math or grammar skill that I see students need a refresher lesson on.  MATH FACTS WILL BE REVIEWED WEEKLY.


⏰  Class Structure:
Classes will be run more like a summer camp than a classroom. We will start each class with a grammar review game and a math review game. I will take the spiraling approach, meaning we will review most third-grade skills each class time during these games. Class time will then be spent going into a more in-depth review of a math or grammar skill, or having fun with a writing activity. We will end each class with another fun game! Our goal is to keep all those learned skills fresh and improve any skills that were difficult during the school year. 


🎯 Class Expectations:
Students should be kind and courteous to one another. Students should be supportive and encouraging. Fun, laughter, and energy are always wanted and encouraged, but they should remain focused on our class content. Please come to class prepared with the Hundreds chart printed out from the class packet and a great attitude!

🐶 Teaching Style:

The goal of Young Scholar Academy teachers is to make learning as happy 🥳 and stress-free as possible! Our classrooms are fast-paced and interactive. It is a kind, caring, supportive, productive, silly, and just a little bit crazy kind of space! We want students to love class and enjoy showing up to learn. Students can only learn when they feel comfortable and safe! We provide that environment for our students, then watch as their learning soars! We will meet each student where he or she is and move them forward.
