Summer Academy III: 5th to 6th - Virtual

Entering grade 6

VIRTUAL Class Description:  This year's Summer Academy is designed to complete the reading portion of the Grade Five summer reading requirements. Each morning we will meet on-line for one hour to read and to discuss three great books, each of a different genre. By early August all your summer reading will be completed and you will have time to enjoy yourself before school starts. Mr. Satter will be offering two live classes each day, one from 9:00-10:00 and another from 10:30-11:30.

The transition from fifth to sixth grade is a big one, especially this year.  Do you want to be sure that your child's summer reading gets done on time? How about him/her getting a stronger grasp on math concepts? If so, please join our group for a head start on middle school. Two great, veteran teachers make sure that your child gets the extra attention they need to feel more comfortable with the concepts learned in fifth grade, and help with their transition to Middlesex. Each morning, they'll participate in a complete program of academics, presented in a fun and non-threatening way. Summer Academy III focuses on:

• Helping your child complete all summer reading, we'll do it together, no stress -- just lots of free time in August.
• Discussing literature with an emphasis on reading comprehension.
• Reviewing key concepts in math, including a peek at what's expected in sixth grade.
• Developing great study skills, including note taking.
• Visiting Middlesex so students will feel confident when they arrive at the start of school.

Our goal: A confident child, ready for new academic challenges, and secure in their ability to succeed in middle school!
