SummerFest hours are 9:00am to 3:00pm.

Academics at SummerFest

Students retain important concepts and skills from the school year, math academics will focus on consolidating and solidifying their understanding of various concepts and skills related to major work of the grade.  Students will also continue to work towards fluency goals of the grade.  Each of these concepts, skills, and fluency goals are dependent on grade level standards.  

Academic programming provides instruction in literacy and mathematics to develop and maintain skills, practice effective learning strategies, and increase abilities in a welcoming and fun-filled environment. In English language arts, emphasis is placed on language-based skills including phonemic awareness and phonics, fluency, vocabulary, comprehension, and writing. This is done through high-interest book clubs, journaling during nature walks, small group play-based activities, and interdisciplinary learning with connections to social studies and fine arts.
