As you know, summer is a time for fun and refreshment. Often, summer is also a time when skills in reading and mathematics diminish without review and reinforcement. Online learning has heightened this learning slide. Studies show that the learning loss is between two and a half months and four months. We are pleased to offer students entering grades 3rd through 11th the opportunity to sustain and strengthen their math skills over the summer. For the last four summers, we have had over sixty students participate in entering grades 3rd through 11th each summer.
One parent wrote to us after her daughter was placed in geometry. Her tenth-grade daughter said,
“I am so glad that I did the summer math institute. Knowing some of the concepts before I was in the class made geometry so much easier.”
An elementary parent wrote, “The Summer Math Institute was an outstanding stepping stone to my son being selected for the ACSI Math Olympics 3rd Grade level for Reasoning. He enjoyed the days he went because the activities were more than just math fact memorization. The Institute is a great place for our children to keep their minds productive and their math skills strong. He will definitely attend again.”
Dr. Susan DeMoss and Mrs. Hannah McIntire will be the institute's primary instructors. Miss Caroline Chan and Miss Miriam Blasi who assisted us last year will also serve as instructors. Caroline and Miriam have been math tutors at CHA for the past two years. Each hour-and-a-half session will address one foundational topic using hands-on activities and interactive games. Students will practice speed drills, and a personal progress report will be given to the parents at the end of the summer. There will be four one-and-a-half-hour sessions, with one make-up session for those who cannot attend any of the sessions. In each session, students will receive a take-home packet to practice the skills taught during the session. Theme days, games, and activities will comprise each session!! Students will receive incentives for completing and returning packets. There is also a grand prize winner! Each session will be from 8-9:30 am at Christian Heritage Academy in the cafeteria. The cost is $140. The fee will cover preparation, printing, materials, shirt, incentives, and instruction. The price is non-refundable. There is one make-up session included. This summer, Mrs. McIntire is offering two ACT prep weeks for $150/session. If there is a reason why you cannot attend, distance learning and packets are available. If you have additional questions, please contact sdemoss@cha.org.
