Gately Summer Academy
Gately Summer Academy provides intensive instruction for students who will be entering the 4th, 5th and 6th grades in the fall. Using multi-sensory instructional techniques, teachers will spend 2-1/2 hours a day, Monday-Thursday, for 6 weeks focusing on skill acquisition and reinforcement.
- Reading/Writing: Daily instruction will focus on developing reading fluency and comprehension, word attack, decoding, vocabulary development, use of graphic organizers and the writing process. Students will work individually and in small groups with fun hands-on projects. This program includes individual student assessment and a comprehensive written report at the completion of the session. Each student will create a working portfolio of writing samples which can be shared with his/her next teacher.
- Math: This summer model addresses fundamental skill development as well as the true application of those skills. Students will work individually as well as collaboratively in small and large groups to problem solve life’s mathematical questions—how does math work in the real world? Bus schedules, telling time, cooking measurements and standard measurements are but a few we will explore. “Hands-on” and multi-sensory instruction will keep our mathematicians engaged.
