~ ~ Welcome to the K.E.Y. Program ~ ~

The K.E.Y. program has two components, Advanced Academics and Beyond Basics. The K.E.Y. program provides whole group instruction in collaboration with the classroom teachers in the Beyond Basics classes. Advanced Academics classes are provided for students in grades 2-5 who need extra challenge in either reading or math. Reading classes meet once or twice per week. We read books at a more challenging level, discussing them in literature circles and doing independent work during the week. There are math groups that meet one or more times per week with the K.E.Y. teacher to do activities that supplement the regular curriculum. Activities are also provided for the students to work on in the regular classroom in between meetings.
