Math activities will change monthly. We will Use “Math in the Garden” developed for Kidsgardening.org to teach number, operations, algebra, measurement, geometry, patterns and data analysis.
Theater/Art/Read Aloud
Students will be provided a script for “Anklet for a Princess” by Lila Mehta. Theater activities will be focused on memorizing script and visualization to create background scenery. All text will be read aloud by teachers and sometimes students. At the end of the program session each child will be given a copy of "Anklet for a Princess" for their home library or to begin their home library.
