Language Arts Camps Help Students Overcome Writer's Block
Christmas Language Arts & Drop-in Care Programs, Exciting Plaza Happenings (Two Open Houses & Sweat Treats), MindQuest students make the 9Wk Honor Roll
In this newsletter, we present an article on tackling writer's block in students, and open registration for our pre- and post- Christmas care and camp programs, complete with Writing Camps. We provide information about our Friday and Saturday Open Houses, with a sneak peak at our new space on Friday! We also celebrate the academic achievement of our school and afterschool students (Honor Roll!!!). And yes, Tiffs Treats is Opening next door!
Helping Your Child Overcome Writer's Block
When a student is sitting there and not writing, it’s very tempting to start asking, “What did you do this weekend? You went to the state fair, didn’t you? Could you write about that? And how you saw the ponies?” This specific line of questioning might fix the problem. But it’s only a temporary fix. After the child finishes writing about seeing the ponies at the fair, she’s likely going to get stuck again... Alison, the writer of the article is a literacy specialist and consultant.

Director's Column - Academic Success Shows Benefits of Programs (...Honor Roll), & Exciting Plaza Happenings this Week
Congrats!
We are very happy with the continued academic success of our MindQuest and other students enrolled in our Language Arts and Math afterschool programs. Several of our students have achieved the LISD All "A" Honor Roll for the 1st 9 weeks. Other students have shown marked improvements in their academics, as reported by their teachers and parents. Those are the expected benefits of our afterschool program, which provides the environment for continued academic growth among the kids who participate. CONGRATS TO OUR HONOR ROLL ACHIEVERS!
First we had snow in early December... WOW!
On Friday, Dec 15th, 4Points Academy will host its Open House in the school's new location, Ste. F110, formerly the Massage Envy Suite. This is an exciting time as we expand the Center for our school and afterschool programs. An official "Grand Opening" will be scheduled in January. On Saturday, Dec 16th, we will host another open house, for both the school and afterschool programs, in our current space. That open house will coincide with the opening of our newest plaza neighbor, Tiff's Treats, (just two doors down from IQuest) and we will celebrate by providing several Tiff Treat's coupons as door prizes.
Our new space will mean more classrooms and better flow of space. More details to come in the Christmas and January newsletter.
Our free trial class promotion continues for our regular program of enrichment classes through December 21st, our final weekday of enrichment classes for the Fall term.
