Kinder Camp Experience
We are excited to announce a Kinder Space Camp experience for our Kindergarten students during the first week of school! Kinder Space Camp will take place Tuesday, August 13th - Thursday, August 15th with our teacher reveal on Friday, August 16th! During the first week of school, your child will be assigned to a color group and not a particular teacher. Each color group will rotate through all five Kindergarten classrooms.
Kinder Space Camp will allow teachers an opportunity to learn more about your child and your child will have the opportunity to enjoy the teaching styles of each unique Kindergarten teacher. On Thursday, August 15th, an email and a welcome letter will be sent from your child’s official Kindergarten teacher. Parents are encouraged to attend a classroom orientation on Monday, August 19th, from 5:30-6:15 with their official Kindergarten teacher. The meeting will provide information about their teacher and the routines in Kindergarten.
Prior to Kinder Space Camp, an “All About Kindergarten" Parent Meeting & Kinder Mini Camp for students will be available to all Kinder parents on Monday, May 6th, 2 sessions, 2:15-3:00 p.m. and 3:05-3:50 p.m. and Tuesday, May 7th, 2 sessions, 2:15-3:00 p.m. and 3:05-3:50 p.m. Please sign up for one of these sessions using the form below.
Session times will be shared the week of April 29th via email.
Why Kinder Camp?
At the Polser STEM Academy, our goal is success for all of our students. We will be balancing each Kindergarten class while meeting the social, emotional, and academic needs of every child. This proactive and purposeful placement of students will ensure that each unique Polser Bear has an optimal learning environment. By exposing all Kindergarten students to every Kindergarten teacher and classroom, we will promote a grade-level sense of community. All Kindergarten teachers will become familiar with all kindergarten students, and vice versa.
What this will Look Like?
In each of the Kindergarten classrooms, your child will be participating in crafts, games, singing, fine-motor activities, and educational lessons that promote cooperation, problem solving, and practice building a classroom community. Using the information collected, our campus administration will facilitate the Kindergarten team in creating classroom groups that balance the academic and social strengths and needs of our kindergarten students for the 2019-2020 school year.
