eventWriting
Instruction in writing fundamentals will include skill development and reinforcement in creating and developing a paragraph (including topic sentences, supporting details and conclusions), making transitions within and between paragraphs, using graphic organizers as tools to plan a writing piece, creating four types of writing (expository, narrative, persuasive, and descriptive), using words effectively, and developing techniques to detect errors.
eventMaths
An individualized program will be designed to meet each student’s needs from basic skill development to higher math levels of algebra and geometry. Our programming provides skill development from the prerequisite skills for mathematics, to calculation and finally problem solving. Students explore math through the use of universal manipulative to reinforce specific concepts being introduced. The Center for Teaching and Learning of Mathematics (Framingham, MA) approach is used with our students who require development of both concepts and skills.
