Grammar Review



Throughout Summer School we are trying to review many grammar rules. Though the children are great speakers, listeners, readers and writers, we fell it is important to review grammar rules that they may have forgotten. Here are some pictures of them learning in small groups and working independently at their tables.

Lower School



The lower school students had a great time today. We sang many songs including two new ones, read two stories, performed a fun role-play and other fun activities. The pictures you see here are the youngest children in class. We are reviewing numbers and counting. The many manipulatives we have are easy to handle for children and make learning fun.

Learning Time



The elementary school students talked about Heavy Metal music today. They learned about bands and singers such as Ozzy Osbourne, Metallica, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and others. As with all of our classes, we are trying to open their minds to the various types of music in the world. Tomorrow will be Hard Rock. Next week we are going to be spending time talking about Salsa.
In the afternoon, the children switched gears and studied about the human digestive system. It was great to see them read and comprehend the material. We feel lucky to have such great students.
