Responsibility Builds Success (Social Skills)
Grades 3 – 4
Does your child get frustrated in dealing with people and wonder why things are not going well? Through
communication, problem solving and decision-making skills, students will be empowered to better interact with peers,
siblings and adults in various social situations. Students will engage in activities, games, and various hands-on projects
as they practice the many aspects of responsibility and what it means to have good character.
Simplified Science
Grades 3 – 5
Has your child ever wondered how and why some things are the way they are and do what they do? This class will help
students discover the answers to some of those questions. Students will conduct science experiments designed to
engage and entertain while supporting and introducing principles of science.
Social Thinkers (Social Skills)
Grades K – 2
This class focuses on teaching the concepts of Social Thinking® as developed by Michelle Garcia Winner, seeks to instruct
the students in the “why” behind social interactions and highlights the many social nuances sometimes missed, even by
intelligent, language-proficient students. Topics include perspective taking, how thoughts-feelings-actions are related
and influence the way others treat us, following a group plan, whole body listening, eye contact and conversation skills.
We’ll also cover strategies for handling thoughts-feelings-actions when things don’t go our way.
Sports-a-Rama
Grades K – 2
Is your child always on the move? This class will resemble a PE-type environment with a mix of fitness activities,
games, and team sports. Students will focus on balance, coordination, and gross motor skills while also practicing good
sportsmanship. The goals of this class are being active and having fun! Athletic shoes are required.
