SATURDAY SCHOOL....LET'S BE PROACTIVE AND NOT REACTIVE:>)

SATURDAY SCHOOL?

From my recent observations with various children around the world and among all grade levels, I have noticed that many students are not on grade level with mathematics due to not having a solid foundation in the BASIC FUNDAMENTALS OF MATH.  My definition of fundamentals are categorized as the following:
1.    Multiplication Tables …..for example, 7 * 9
2. Subtraction with borrowing…for example 386 – 289
3. Division…..for example LONG AND SHORT
4. READING COMPREHENSION..for example, “Does your child understand the directions to assignments given…do they truly understand what is being asked??
As you are aware Golden Rule Tutorial Services create programs for the children based on the need.  We are currently considering developing a SATURDAY program for 3rd-5th grade students because this is where I see students struggling the most and it is important to ensure the child have a solid foundation of the fundamentals to survive in MIDDLE SCHOOL!!  Typically children who do not get the BASICS prior to transitioning to middle school will have low self-esteem, may have behavior problems in the classroom, and ultimately will struggle academically.
Parents we always like to hear your voice.  Do you VALUE your child’s education enough to set aside the time and finances to bring your child to Saturday School to get the remediation that they so deeply need??  The sessions will be challenging, your child will have the desire to study so that they can COMPETE with their peers…FUN, FUN, FUN.
