________________________________________________________
Block A Classes
7:15-7:45am
Penmanship
Explicit instruction in the easy way to form letters in print and script will improve your child’s handwriting and increase confidence.
*This class reinforces sound/letter connections and is highly recommended for OG students.
Keyboarding
Students learn to keep their fingers on “home row,” and to type while looking only at the screen.
Block B Classes
8:00 and 10:10 AM Snack-time is included.
Select two of the following:
Prescription Math
2 or 3 students per teacher
Each math student receives diagnostic pretesting to determine their specific needs. A multisensory math program is then custom designed to meet their needs to fill in gaps and move forward on a firm foundation. Recommended for SSAT and SAT prep students
Orton-Gillingham Phonetic Reading Instruction
2 to 4 students per teacher
Students have fun learning to decode and understand text. This class is a must for beginning or struggling readers. Highly trained teachers use multisensory techniques to teach the fundamentals of reading.
Writing Nuts and Bolts/Writer’s Workshop (Grades 3 through high school)
This highly individualized workshop meets students at their level and moves them forward. Beginning writers focus on sentence and paragraph construction and advanced writers practice research techniques, organization, clarity, structure, and the importance of variety. Everyone will learn useful tricks to get started and the essentials of proofreading and editing.
Block C Classes:
10:10-11:10 AM
Prescription Math
2 or 3 students per teacher
Each student receives diagnostic pretesting to determine their specific needs. A multisensory math program is then custom-designed to meet needs, fill in gaps, and move forward on a firm foundation.
Learning Vocabulary and Spelling through Morphology
Morphographs are the smallest parts of a word that have meaning. In this active, exciting class, students learn the definition and spelling of up to sixty of these useful little word parts. This knowledge is the key to unlocking the meaning of hundreds of words resulting in higher SSAT and SAT test scores, improved reading comprehension, and a larger general vocabulary. Older students and test prep students will have additional instruction in Latin roots and vocabulary.
Block D
11:10-12:10 PM
STEAM Explorations
In this class, students explore the many ways that science, technology, engineering, art, and math are part of their daily lives. Incorporating open-ended investigation with experiments, students will learn how to answer questions and create solutions to real-world problems.
Block E
12:30-1:30 PM
Coding for Kids
The kids will be coding on their own - with a little guidance! Students will learn to create games and how to start their own websites.
Block F
1:30-4:30 PM
Oahu Adventures - Pick-up time may be extended for some excursions.
This very popular class gets kids outdoors and active at a variety of locations and (shhhh) sneaks in some education every day. Outings and activities include: Lei making at a heiau (culture and history) Rocket launch at the park (chemistry and physics) Water games with super soakers and water balloons (physics, math, social skills) Kailua Town excursion (economics, math) and many more including a grand finale playing mini-golf (physics).
Locations may be adjusted for Covid Safety concerns.
Note: Kosasa Academy is not an allergen-free zone.
