Our after school staff prepared our children to excel in the Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System (MCAS), an important scholastic proficiency and performance exam. To keep students focused on success, our lessons were creative and interesting. Our math worksheets were created using each student’s name, and candies and other tools to help students use visualization to solve word problems. This not only helped kids focus, but they also enjoyed tasting their rewards.
Our writing lessons taught the importance of using logic to write opening and closing sentences. Students learned to use outlines to complete stories about topics they chose on book characters, famous women, and the origins of local and national holidays. It has been rewarding to use creativity to see our students improve their skills and be prepared for success.
