Everest Academy's Summer Learning Fun 
for Kindergarten & Grade 1

The Summer Learning course offered by Everest Academy has brought kindergarten and 1st grade students back to school this July. The optional course, taught by Everest kindergarten teacher Mrs. Joanna DiSabato, ran from July 9-20. Subjects covered included science, math, language arts, writing, social studies and Catholic formation. Laptops and Mimio board technology were integrated throughout the course whenever possible. 

According to Mrs. DiSabato, the students were excited once the course began, though they at first had mixed emotions about returning to school during their summer vacation. “One day we found a praying mantis outside, and another day watched butterflies hatching” she said. Students were kept active with a four-hour schedule covering six units daily. The units offered were “A Bug’s Life”, “Let’s Explore”, “Apostles Reader’s Theater”, “Book Club”, “Young Authors”, and “Fun with Numbers”. In the unit “A Bug’s Life”, students designed an ant farm, ladybug colony and butterfly habitats. As part of “Let’s Explore”, they learned about the different continents through fun projects and the use of the interactive Mimio board.  (to read more, click here)
