Welcome Teachers! We currently offer three supplemental classroom programs that support curriculum goals (for you!) and make learning fun (for your students!) Brief descriptions are below. For registration information and program details, click on each program name.
The Classroom Connection: Seeking classroom matches of the greatest diversity, this program creates pen-pal relationships between students from different socio-economic and geographic areas. The program builds writing skills as it forges understanding between students. Offered to 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th grade students in a structured class-to-class series of letter writing assignments between paired students, letters are written and exchanged on the following three themes: “About Me”, “Places” and “Dreams”. The program is conducted over the course of the school year, and students are matched from classes of the same grade and size.
Fourth Grade Program: This statewide writing contest engages students in learning about the people, places, events and history that make New Jersey a special place to call home. The program develops literacy and academic skills, as students make important connections to New Jersey’s past, make connections to their present lives, and begin to understand their role in shaping the future. Students create an online newspaper consisting of hundreds of articles, us the process to educate others, and through the process of the program, come to better understand the world around them, and their place in it.
Middle School STEProgram: We are currently redesigning this program. Please check back.
