Middle School Academic Skills: Organizational Skills

20 Jesup Road,Westport CT 06880

17 August, 2021

Description

Middle School Academic Skills offered Tuesdays at 2 pm. Topics offered to assist with readiness for 6th, 7th & 8th grade. Summer should be about having FUN. More than ever, kids need to try new things, explore, learn in the real world, and meet and interact with friends. Middle School Academic Skills classes do just that. Students will directly interact with their peers and teachers with a focus on real life learning. Small group instruction will be provided in a 1:6 teacher-to-student, facilitated by experienced K-8 certified teachers. This group will meet weekly to engage young adolescents in a social learning process. Content covered will include classes within the following curriculum areas: STEAM, literature via a socially interactive book club that promotes high-level discourse, math problem solving, and academic organizational skills. Classes will encourage intellectual risk-taking, social discourse, and student independence in the educational process. On Tuesday, August 17, your child entering sixth, seventh or eighth grade in fall, 2021, will focus on organizational skills. Are you entering middle school in the fall and concerned about being organized for different classes? Are you already in middle school and need help getting organized? In this class, you will learn organizational tricks and tips to keep you on top of your game all year long. Because we are able to admit a limited number of students, you will be charged a deposit of $25 upon registration. Your deposit will be refunded less credit card processing fees upon attendance or notification of inability to attend sent to [email protected] or 203.291.4815 by 2 pm on Tuesday, August 10. For those unable to come to the library for class, there is an option to log in from home. Please select from your ticket options carefully. The Middle School Academic Skills classes are made possible by the continuing generosity of Roz and Bud Siegel.
