REACH Information
REACH Trimester 1 Offereings
Grade 2 Primary Thinking Skills Program Push-In:
This is a Type 1 REACH Program offering. Weekly lessons are provided using the P.E.T.S. (Primary Education Thinking Skills) which is a systemized enrichment and diagnostic thinking skills program that serves a dual purpose of helping in the identification of academically talented learners and teaching students higher-level thinking skills. Through stories and a series of whole class activities, students are encouraged to practice and develop four different thinking skills: convergent, divergent, visual, and evaluative.
Grade 3 STEM:
This is a Type 1 REACH Program offering. The weekly STEM lessons and challenges focus on the Engineering Design Process. Students will learn about how gravity, compression, and tension are important factors when building structures. The students will engage in building challenges using different materials.
Grade 4 STEM:
This is a Type 1 REACH Program offering. The weekly STEM lessons and challenges deepen our students’ experience and understanding of the Engineering Design Process as a strategy to attack real life problems. The STEM challenges are hands-on and encourage risk-taking and experimentation, two necessary components of innovative thinking.
Grade 4 Independent Study - STEM Invention
This is a Type 2 REACH Program offering. This self-select program is for interested, task committed and highly motivated students. Students will use the Engineering Design Process to plan, design, build, and present an original idea.
Fall CogAT Announcement: In the coming weeks, the CogAT Screener will be administered to any students in grades 2-4 who are new to the Fair Lawn School District. The CogAT Screener consists of verbal/picture analogies, number analogies, and figure matrices. Data gathered from this assessment will enable us to plan effective programs for our students and make decisions regarding academically talented programs. The screener takes approximately 30 minutes to complete.
Attention all 4th graders!
