Program Details

Program Description

I offer creative math and creative writing enrichment for grades 4-6. I make my math and writing sessions engaging, interesting, and challenging. I do this in math with a wide variety of projects, puzzles, brainteasers, problems and critical thinking activities.

MATH

My goal is to help students maintain/advance their current level of math proficiency and to be supportive of the classroom teacher(s).

WRITING

Like the math, above, my creative writing sessions will engage, interest, and challenge students We will explore a wide variety of themes in prose and poetry. We’ll also cover the conventions: spelling, punctuation, grammar, and so forth.
