   Math Early K-A      Pre-K    9:45-10:30 Su    David Ovetsky      In our Kindergarten class, children will be working with numbers from 0 to 10 and later to 20 - counting, \"what comes before and after\", learning basic operation such as addition (\'putting together\") and subtraction (\"taking away\"), and comparison of small numbers/groups of objects. They will learn shapes and spacial relationships of objects, compare and contrast objects and pictures, work on patterns, and solve logic problems. We will introduce young students to simple one-step word problems. Many activities are done in game form, and as competitive or cooperative tasks

   Art B      1-3    10:35-11:35    Dr. Larisa Tsvetkova      I am positive that each student has creative abilities and can be introduced to the artistic world.
Like in any discipline it just takes time and patience.
In our Art class we use pencils and markers, pastel and charcoal, watercolor and acrylic paint.
We use the Ipod as well to teach how to draw step-by-step.
We learn the important art definitions and styles, study how to draw animals and plants, transportation and people.
We create different types of artworks: still life, portrait and landscape.
Art History is a very important part of our Art class. We study World Art History as well as Russian Art History.
If you child likes to express his feelings he/she can enjoy taking Art class and have fun in a very educational and interesting process! 
   Early_Logic G&T in Rus      3.5-4.5    11:30 - 12:15    Alina Obeeva      Spring\'20

Taught in Russian

Getting into a good school program is one of the major challenges that NYC kids and their parents have to face. As unfair and ridiculous this situation may be, letting your children obtain some useful learning skills early, is not a bad idea.

This class is designed to develop their logic and reasoning skills, introduce basic mathematical concepts, and help our students be more aware and learn more about the world they live in. During our classes we\'ll work on developing better memory skills and attention span, pattern recognition and sequencing, problem-solving, creative thinking, and verbal skills. We\'ll use a lot of appealing visual aids, games, and printouts to help our little students enjoy the learning process.

While one of the class\'s primary goals is to prepare children for OLSAT/BSRA test for gifted and talented, we think that introducing them to the classroom setting will also eventually help them feel more comfortable in their school environment. 
   Math K      3.5-4.5    9:00 - 9:45    Mila Filatov      Spring\'20


The class develops essential math concepts and basic reasoning skills in a fun and engaging way. Lessons are guided by focused learning objectives, exercises reinforce new knowledge, and reviews assess student learning. 
   Early_Logic Russian      preK    Mon 4:30 - 5:15    Antonina Lifshits      The main objective of the class is to supply children with basic skills and familiarize them with essential concepts, which would create a solid foundation for their further studies, and eventually help them in their transition into the general school education system. The set curriculum of these lessons does not imply, however, that they are going to be “formal” in the sense of being “dry and boring”.

Choosing various interesting topics for each lesson, we’ll learn about numbers, shapes, colors and patterns, solve logical problems and puzzles, work on memory and motor skills, and explore various ways of creating classifications.

We’ll also focus on studying Russian language. Alphabet, basics of reading and writing, text comprehension, vocabulary, and speech development are all going to be our primary targets in this class.

Classes concentrate on: Getting to know the world around us; Development of visual and logical thinking, attention, visual memory and imagination.
This class program offers:
1. Sorting, Matching and Classification
2. Patterning
3. Graphing
4. Riddles and Guessing Games
5. Mental Math Workout and Guessing Games

   Math A      A    Sa 10:45-11:30    Roman Kharchuk      Math A
Essential Math K-A
Primary math 1A textbook and workbook
Process skills level 1
The students are expected to have the following skills upon enrollment:
Add and subtract fluently within 10 and add and subtract numbers under 40 mentally through the use of number lines. Students should also be able to count up to a 100 forward and backward beginning with any number and a given sequence. In addition, students should be able to compose and decompose given numbers from 11 to 19 into ten ones and other ones.
During the year the 1st grade students will learn the following areas of common core curriculum for math:
Operations and Algebraic Thinking
• Represent and solve problems involving addition and subtraction within 40.
• Understand and apply properties of operations and the relationship between addition and subtraction
Number and operations in base ten
• Compose and decompose numbers from 11 to 39 into ten ones and other ones
Measurement and Data
• Measure lengths indirectly and by repeating length units.
• Tell and write time
• Represent and interpret data
• Geometry
• Distinguish between defining attributes versus non-defining attributes; build and draw shapes to possess defining attributes
• Compose two-dimensional or three-dimensional shapes to create a composite shape and composite new shape
• Partition circles and rectangles into two and four equal shares, describe the shares using the words halves and fourths. Kindergarten
Students are expected to have the following skills upon enrollment:
• Know number names and count to 100 by ones
• Count forward from any given number under 20 within the known sequence
• Count objects, as many as 20, say the number names in order while pairing each object with one and only one number name
