The office of Citizenship & Service-Learning, in conjunction with a student planning committee, is developing a summer program for Robberson Elementary Community School children. Under construction are Science, Math & Writing Legoland, and Global Education sessions. Each will take place for one week during the summer months. Focused curriculum will include stimulating hands-on experiments and projects designed to maximize educational impact, ignite students’ imagination and encourage academic exploration.
The Science kick-off event, held in April, will be complete with explosions, goo, and guided experiments to engage and excite students. A week-long session incorporating life, physical, and earth science activities will follow in the summer. The Math & Writing Legoland session promises to provide stimulating educational-play opportunities, developing students’ math, engineering, and robotics skills; benefiting them as they build a city. Additionally, students will have the opportunity to develop and write an original composition. The Global Education session promotes cultural competence and reading literacy through exploration of numerous countries; introducing students to the music, language, climate, geography and many other aspects of each global region.
