Parents, teachers, administrators, students…. everyone has a
position on the Common Core and the modules schools are using to meet the new
standards, and for very good reason – people are concerned about the education
of our community’s youth. Regardless of
opinions or feelings on the topic, we at the S.T.A.R.S. afterschool program
want Hornell’s students to be as successful as they can be. For that reason, plans are in the works to
offer each S.T.A.R.S. student one hour of extra math enrichment per week. During enrichment, a certified 2nd
or 3rd grade teacher (depending on which group they’re working with)
will assist students in understanding the overarching topics paramount to their
understanding of the mathematical concepts presented in their school day math
instruction. We’re looking forward to
getting this program underway!
