Algorithmica k/1		11:30-12:15	n/a	An algorithm is a step-by-step procedure or directions for doing something. Most often, an algorithm is created for a computer or a robot, but a cake recipe is an algorithm, too! In this class, the learning is based on real-life activities (e.g. animation with zoetropes, games on coordinate plane, quest stories, tasks from CS Unplugged). We combine these activities with math /logic problems and with programming exercises (Rover/Bigtrak in class, computer games as homework). Children learn about computers and robots, but most importantly, they develop their thinking and creativity. While solving logical problems, playing memory games or acting out the algorithms, the students gain important cognitive skills and construct mathematical and programming concepts. Students do not need to bring laptops to this class (although some homework tasks may require use of computer). Parents are strongly encouraged to stay in class, observe and (if need be) help the students, for example: transitioning between activities, understanding the tasks, handling manipulatives and robots. Bigtrak is a programmable electric vehicle that can remember up to 16 commands and execute them in sequence. The commants are entered through the keypad on top of the vehicle. Read more at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Trak ReCon 6.0 is a programmable rover with accessories. It can remember nine algorithms (trips) with up to fifty commands. See the review at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ma5OqHo564I and read more: http://www.timberdoodle.com/ReCon_6_Programmable_Rover_p/322-455.htm CS Unplugged is a collection of free learning activities that teach Computer Science through engaging games and puzzles that use cards, string, crayons and lots of running around.

Math 4 covers all material of a 4th grade class in a child’s regular school, including things he must know for the NJSLA test at the end of 4th Grade. At this point in the school year, kids should know about factors and multiples, place value to the hundred thousand and be pro&cient with long multiplication and division with 2 and 3-digit numbers, and with the basic operations of fractions, including addition and subtraction with different denominator; they should know the basics of decimals, including addition and subtraction, and how they relate to fractions, and know how to solve simple area and perimeter problems. Children should also have seen numerous word problems on these topics over the school year. All of the above will be reviewed throughout the rest of the semester, along with any new topics in the 4th grade math curriculum. At SchoolPlus, we believe that children are happiest and perform better on tests when they have a real understanding of the topic at hand, and not just superficial knowledge that comes from rote practice. We’ll use this period we now have, to make sure kids do understand these topics so that they can complete the math part of their school year successfully.

Programming_And_Imagination Begginers	2/3 grades	12:20-1:05	n/a	In this class we use real-world activities and interactive design to help the students develop computational thinking and creativity. We do this using the Scratch programming environment, adding some robotics and math problem modeling. We start with storytelling and animations, and move on to computer games programming. Students plan and design interactive multimedia projects, in line with their own ideas and interests. They also use microcomputer/robotics kits (Lego WeDo, Makey Makey, PicoBoard) to connect their projects with real world. Our students learn and actively use mathematics, including areas and concepts that are not usually covered in elementary school: geometry, logic, coordinates, negative numbers, decimals, random numbers and variables. Children bring their laptops to class. Their parents are encouraged to help them with set up, and are welcome to stay in class – to observe and help.

Programming_And_Imagination Intermedia	4-7	2:10-3:10	Sergey Torubarov	In the intermediate class we continue design of interactive projects in the Scratch programming/authoring environment. We concentrate more on applications of programming (e.g. cryptography, math modeling) and on exploration of the new features of Scratch 2.0 that help learn about data structures and common algorithms (e.g. search, sorting, graph coloring). Our students learn to put together multi-part projects, cooperate with each other and share their work. The emphasis is more on planning of the projects and on user-computer interaction than on coding. We continue to use microcomputers and robotics kits. In addition to the hardware used in the first-year class (Lego WeDo, MaKey MaKey, PicoBoard), we apply Scratch programming to LEGO Mindstorms and Kinect. We touch upon the topics of electric circuits, circuit logic, and artificial intelligence; and tie them with mathematics. Children bring their laptops to class. Their parents are encouraged to help them with set up, and are welcome to stay in class – to observe and help.

The course covers all the math topics and tricks students will need to know for the test. Emphasis throughout the course is given to solving problems without using a calculator because the use of calculators is not allowed on the Bergen Academies admission test. The course forms a learning continuum that explores strategies specific to competitive mathematics in depth and breadth. The problem selection emphasizes comprehension, critical thinking, observation, and avoiding repetitive and mechanical procedures. Explanations and discussions focus on both reasoning and execution. Some of the most dreaded categories of problems are thoroughly represented: mixtures, rates, and problems that engage comprehension. Mixture problems are among the problems that are underrepresented in a common school curricular while being some of the more challenging word problems on the admission tests. As the assessments, students will take the full length BCA math practice tests that are identical in level and format to the actual BCA practice tests.

Architecture4Kids 2	3-6	11:30- 12:15	Greg Gurevich	Spring\'20 This STEM-oriented class is intended to challenge the students\' imagination while applying a logical thought process to their creativity through hands-on projects. The emphasis will be on 3-dimensional thinking to create solutions to various problems. Students will continue to learn architectural drafting and model-making using various materials such as wood, foam core, cardboard, and strings, among others. Students will also learn about some famous architects and projects and why they are significant. Some of projects we intend to do in class include building a basic structural frame of a building, an origami building, and a suspension bridge.

Architecture4Kids 3	7-8	10:40 -- 11:25	Greg Gurevich	Spring\'20 This STEM-oriented class aims to help students understand the different elements involved in designing and constructing our \"built environment\". We will continue learning about architects who have played an important role in the development of architecture and explore significant buildings. Students will apply basic calculations to design, draft and construct their projects and learn to present them to the class. There will be an emphasis on 3-dimensional thinking, design, scale, context, and building using various materials. Examples of projects include designing the building frame, facade, calculating the area and zoning of a building.

Architecture4Kids 5	4-6	12:20 - 1:05	n/a	Fall 19 The class offers students a chance to get to know some of the significant buildings and architects in the world, become familiar with some architectural styles, understand how architecture incorporates art, math, science, nature and critical thinking, and have a chance to work on their own projects and create their own designs. We will also look into the subject from age appropriate mathematical point of view: how to calculate some basic structures, area, and volume, how architects calculate how many people are allowed in a building, how stairs are calculated, and how to calculate the life-cycle cost of construction from an energy point o view.

Art 1	к-1	9:50 - 10:35	Alina Obeeva	Spring\'20 The main premise of this class rests upon the idea that drawing is a technical skill and as such can be acquired and perfected by anyone at any age and regardless of perceived abilities. This semester we will learn the “drawing alphabet” and will get really good at recognizing that the Five Elements of Drawing (a dot, a circle, a line, a curve, and an angle) are all around us. We will learn how to plan our work, how to concentrate, and how to take our time with our work. We will also talk about perfection and how as far as art is concerned there is no such thing as mistakes. There are, however, steps that can be taken to alter or add to those parts of our drawings that do not make us happy. This will help us talk about the way our creative process makes us feel and how to get the most out of those feelings. We will draw from graphics and still life. We will use pencils, markers, oil pastels and crayon pastels as mediums to see how each differs from the rest and how certain mediums are more desirable for expressing our creative impulses. There will be an occasional homework assignment which will be emailed ahead of time. Enjoy the class!

Different styles of music, as well as the introduction of \"props,\" will be introduced each week to enhance creative options. By the end of the semester many of the \"building blocks\" of dance will be in place to help the children to decide which dance discipline to pursue for the future. The class will culminate in an expressive and creative dance performance for their parents and their peers.

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.

Early_Logic Russian1-1	ps-k	9:50 - 10:35	n/a	The aim of this class is to develop memory, attention and cognitive skills. It will support and develop the child\'s curiosity about the things around us, as well as help teach numeracy and spatial skills and develop logical thinking in game-based activities. Most of the assignments will improve the study skills of children by focusing their attention on rules, examples and following the procedure in solving a problem. I use methods that foster both creativity and self-control, and our homework assignments are tailored to the individual capabilities of each student.

English 4	4-5	9:00 - 9:45	Aidan O Connor	Spring\'20 The goal of this 4th grade ELA class is to not only improve students’ ELA skills in the short term, but also introduce strong reading strategies and habits that will help students’ skills improve for years to come. The goal is also to ensure students perform to the best of their abilities on the State Exam. Each student will finish the course with a reliable and well-developed foundation to build off in the ELA subject area. The course will tackle fiction reading, non-fiction reading, figurative language, active reading, a few ELA test-taking strategies, basic grammar, analyzing text and more. The class will also provide test prep for the 4th grade NY State Exams. Scores on these exams can be very important for students looking to gain acceptance to new Middle Schools. Much of class and homework will involve reading and responding to text (age and grade appropriate material). Digesting complex text is an invaluable skill in both high school and college. Building strong focus and mental stamina at this age will benefit your child immensely in the years to come. The course will focus mostly on reading comprehension and writing with a very small amount of grammar. Students can expect 30 minutes to 1 hour of homework each week.

English 6	5-6	9:50 - 10:35	Aidan O Connor	Spring\'20 ELA 6 will be a reading and writing enhancement course based on the sixth-grade level. The class may also be feasible for advanced 5th-grade students. The Reading aspect of the course will be roughly 1/3 non-fiction material and 2/3 fiction material. It will focus on building advanced comprehension skills such as identifying motifs, arguments, theses, and the author\'s inspirations and goals. The class will also prepare students for the 6th grade State ELA Exam with test strategies, explanation of the exam, and practice. The writing aspect of the course will split its focus between persuasive, fact-based writing and creative, personal-based writing. The class will also feature a small amount of grammar. Assignments will include persuasive essays, personal essays, literary-response essays, and poetry. The first half of the course will lean towards persuasive, fact-based writing (research papers, persuasive writing), the class will then send some time prepping for the State Exam in April and then will move to more creative processes in the tail end of the course. Expect ~1 hour of homework per week, mostly writing based. Feel free to contact me with any questions about the course.

English TestPrep	5-6	12:20 -1:05	n/a	Each lesson will consist of a do now exercise, of doing a portion of a sample test question from a Verbal Section, focusing on Comprehension. For the remainder of the class each day we will focus on test taking strategies for the material that we worked on for the lesson, the lessons that the questions bring up in the material. Ultimately, each child will be prepared for the test taking conditions of the Gifted and Talented program. In my class I would be sure that each child works through the lesson that would be inherent in the test samples. These are lessons that would be important as determined by the New York City Department of Education for Gifted and Talented children.

We will start with the subjects of American and French revolutions and continue onto the history of the 19 th century. We shall, however, also re-trace our steps and go back to the history of China, India, Japan and other non-European countries in 16-18 th century and some other parts of the world. The students will be offered to do their own presentations on historical figures or events. However, this year I would also like to incorporate in our classes a light version of the book club/debate units and have some more candid discussions of issues, rather then just interesting facts.

Geography/History for 5-7 yo	k-2	9:00 - 9:45	n/a	Fall 17 The World History and Geography class for young children will discover ancient people and places, and fascinating facts, myth, legends, read some historical fiction and learn about geography in connection with people and historical events we will be talking about.

SHSAT_Practice_Tests 20-1	7	2:30 -- 4:30	Aidan O Connor	Spring\'20 The curriculum includes complete topics coverage as well as systematic SHSAT preparation. The primary goal of the course is to make sure that students have an academic knowledge of Math and ELA and the skills needed to succeed on the exam. Students will both study the curriculum knowledge necessary to succeed on the exam but will also study and practice key test taking strategies that have been proven to increase children\'s scores.

Singing in Russ	ps	10:00 -10:45	n/a	Fall 15 My music lessons will engage children\'s minds and bodies through a mixture of singing, acting and the use of percussion instruments (i.e. xylophones, triangles, rhythm sticks). Children will learn how to appreciate classical music: I’ll play piano pieces from children\'s repertoire, written by the great classical composers. Kids will listen stories about these compositions. Some elementary musical grammar will be presented as well. Singing is stressed as the foundation for musicianship. Learning the children\'s favorites’ songs, folk and composed music is fun not only for kids, but for the whole family.

Singing in Russ-1	1-2	11:05 - 11:50	n/a	Fall 15 Every lesson consists of three parts: exercises for development of rhythm and ear-training, and choral singing, basic rules of pitch and rhythm notation, intervals recognition popular songs from cartoons and movies learned history and evolution of music, how music began, and how it has evolved over thousands of years; stories about famous composers: Vivaldi, Handel, Beethoven Mozart, Chopin

Tests_preparation Hunter	6	12:50 - 2:20	n/a	Fall 19 The course should only be taken by students who are planning on taking the exam in January 2020 and who want to get a head start on building the foundations necessary to succeed on the Hunter Entrance Exam. We will cover the three sections of the exam: Reading, Writing, and Math. The Reading portion will include reading comprehension of high-level (~8th grade) fiction. It will mainly feature works from the turn of the 20th century. The writing will focus on writing a strong 5-paragraph personal essay within time constraints. The Math will focus on creative problem solving and cover a range of topics from basic algebra and geometry to probability and pattern recognition. The math will feature problems similar to those seen on statewide Math contests. Since this course is for 5th graders, it will focus first on introducing all of these concepts before moving on to mastering them, which will take a significant amount of time and work. The course will be focused and serious with homework assigned each week that must be completed. Parents should make sure students enter the course with a serious commitment to it. Students should expect an hour of homework per week.

Chess Beginner	Mixed	11:10 - 12:10	Anthony Kozikowski	Acquaintance with chess starts with chess basics. Children become familiar with the chess board and chess pieces; they learn general rules and allowed moves step by step; they learn the goal of the Game – Mate; begin to understand other outcomes such as Stalemate and Draw; learn notation for recording moves. Children learn the three stages of the Game: Opening, Middlegame, Endgame; fundamentals of Strategy and Tactics; beginnings and endgames. Children learn by analyzing simple positions and by practicing playing the game in every class.

Chess Beginner M	Mixed	Mon, 5-6pm	Timothy Lynch	This class is for mixed level players (Beginners/Early Player): Children learn to concentrate on one and two-move checkmates, as well as various combinations featuring queen sacrifices, double attacks, discovering checks, and many other useful tactical elements, or just quiet moves that eliminate the opponent\'s potential flight squares (depending on class level). Children participate in the instructor led analysis of simple parties; Children continue to study various strategies and tactics of playing chess. Children practice by playing against each other and the instructor.

Creative_Writing I (MORA)	3 -5	Mon, 4-5pm	Holly Woodward	SELF DISCOVERIES Adventures in Inventing Ourselves A subway poster in NYC says, “As a student, Einstein was no Einstein.” He had to discover his particular genius, which meant finding his passion and arranging his life so he could pursue it. The world has not been designed to discover, understand and nourish each individual’s unique gifts. This workshop is. This project is an exploration of what resonates for students, and their own natures, talents and ambitions. We see how those three must be connected to achieve success. Each student chooses to research a different discoverer from history and science,focusing on the drama of a breakthrough moment, which they try to convey through a presentation or through a journal they create, pretending they are witnessing the discovery. If time permits, we can embellish the journals with old-fashioned touches and drawings. A key element of this class involves students learning to use, as a mental toolbox for lifetime learning, various brainstorming techniques of top think tanks at IBM and Google. The aim will be self-exploration and articulation. An easy tie-in is a show or reading on one of the great discoverers, or a field trip to Liberty Science Center or the Edison center.

Early_Logic & Math K (	K	12:10 - 12:55	Dr. Chandra Budi	This class is designed to help very young children develop their thought process, which is the main foundation of learning preparedness. Children who are encouraged to understand the process of thinking tend to be inquisitive, creative, confident, compassionate, and communicative. This class goes beyond preparing children to learn mathematics; the main goal of the class is to provide a tool for children to understand their own thinking, hence enabling them to understand events and the environment around them. For example, a thoughtful child will understand that sharing is not about getting a reward in the end; rather, a child will understand that it is about caring for a friend, having a friend to talk to and to play with. By the same token, a child who understands the logic of shapes will be able to understand that a triangle isn\'t just a shape that exists on paper or in his/her mind, rather it exists around us; he/she will be able to tell us that a mountain is shaped like a triangle, an ice cream cone is shaped like a triangle or to be a bit more advanced, two triangles can make another kind of shape all together... This kind of inquiry process will go infinitely. What should you expect from the class? Mostly we will focus on interactive and communicative activities; we do not do as much drilling and repetition as our Mathematics class does. Rather we focus on building the core of \"thinking\" and explore them through verbal and written interactions, as well as pictorial usage for children who are still acquiring English. Please note: written interaction doesn\'t mean your child needs to be able to write, rather the teacher will use tools such as journals or lists or other writing means to help children in understanding their thoughts. We hope to see you in class; nothing is worth more noting in any learning experiences than the building of a thought.

English Workshop I	Mixed	tbd	n/a	HIDDEN TREASURE There’s a new recreational craze among young people on the Internet, and it involves getting out and exercising! It’s called letterboxing. Young people from elementary schools to colleges are hiding boxes with writing in parks and public spaces all over the country. Clues are posted on the Web so others can search for the hidden treasures. Searchers follow mathematical, geographical and logical clues posted on the Internet to find boxes. The rewards are student writings on various themes: history, wildlife, writing and art. Each box contains an artistic rubber stamp so the searchers can stamp a field book as proof that they solved the clues and found the location. Students can search for previously created hidden boxes or create a series of their own for other classes to hunt down. We start by with themes of relevance to each group’s current studies, then create stamps and booklets of student ideas and writing. They can be hidden on school grounds and posted on the school website as a challenge for other students now and in future years. This is a great way to introduce students to a free recreational activity that can motivate them to hike various parks throughout their lives.

This program teaches operations with whole numbers, fractions and decimals in a systematic way. It shows that basically the rules of arithmetic are universal. The program provides students with many non-routine, multi-step arithmetic problems. Different methods of solving various kinds of word problems are discussed. In addition to Arithmetic, there are some exciting topics such as Combinatorics, Pigeonhole principle and logic problems. You might find the lessons in the Geometry section particularly interesting. Students learn to use logic, geometric facts and calculations. This program is targeted to 4th and 5th grade students and it is aligned with focal points of Standards for School Mathematics developed by National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM).

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.

We’ll look at the pictures, talk and read about interesting people, places, and events, but we’ll also try to find answers to many unexpected questions children may bring to the classroom. Playing games, reading, making art projects, and having a lot of interesting discussions all along is the only way your teacher conducts this class. It would not only add to the kid\'s sum of knowledge, but also would help them develop and improve their verbal skills and their ability to reason and communicate their own ideas.

Math Math-7	7	18:00 - 19:00	Dr. Grigory Portnov	The main goal of our classes for the Middle School grades is to make sure that at this level, math students know and really understand basic laws and rules of Algebra. Besides Algebra, the program includes several advanced topics, such as Mathematical Induction, Combinatorics, Logical games, Fibonacci sequence. Students are expected to use basics of Algebra and Geometry effectively in different situations, starting with taking multiple-choice tests, where everything should be done quickly, and ending with solving complicated problems from Math Olympiads, that require a non-routine approach and creative thinking. SchoolPlus test preparation classes differ from other test preparation programs. Students not only master test-taking techniques, but also study Mathematics as a subject. Without good understanding of math concepts and how they are interconnected, improvement of their score beyond a certain point becomes impossible. In our opinion, the serious and systematic studying of Mathematics is the only way to achieve a high score. This program for upper middle school is targeted to 7th and 8th grade students and is aligned with Focal points of Standards suggested by National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM). This class also prepares students for the admission tests to the selective High Schools.

Simple use of variables and equations and beginning work on integers (+/-) is helpful. Children should also have seen numerous word problems on these topics over the school year. All of the above will be reviewed throughout the rest of the semester, along with any new topics in the 6th grade math curriculum. At SchoolPlus, we believe that children are happiest and perform better on tests when they have a real understanding of the topic at hand, and not just superficial knowledge that comes from rote practice. We’ll use this period we now have, to make sure kids do understand these topics, so that they can complete the math part of their school year successfully. 
