Roslyn Summer Academic Program for Grades 1-8 2008 Welcome! The Roslyn Summer Academic Program is a four-week extended learning opportunity for Roslyn residents who have completed grades K-8. The four-hour program will primarily target instruction in English language arts and mathematics for students who need additional assistance in those areas. Physical education instruction will also be integrated into the daily schedule. While the Summer Academic Program is open to all Roslyn residents, the curriculum is specifically designed to help children who did not meet the performance indicators for their grade level. The program will be staffed by certified Roslyn Public School teachers, a school nurse, and a Roslyn administrator. Class size will be approximately 15 students. Note: The Roslyn Summer Academic Program is contingent on passage of the school budget for 2008-09 on May 20, 2008. Instruction Instruction will focus on skill development in a variety of theme-based activities each week, as children explore topics about American history, our community, fine arts, and environmental concerns. The core curriculum will include early literacy competencies and mathematical concepts in grades K-3 and grade-specific literacy and mathematical skills in grades 4-8. Children will participate in reading, writing, listening, computer, and mathematical activities, based on the weekly theme. Local field trips will also be included to support the curriculum. Physical education classes will enhance the core curriculum offered in the Summer Academic Program. Instructional goals in physical education will include age-appropriate motor skills, health-related fitness activities, and a variety of individual and group challenges. The well-rounded Summer Academic Program will provide valuable experiences to all children who attend this June and July.
