GT Core Curriculum for 2019-20
A school year (about 180 days) is divided into 3 terms (each with 60 days, or 3 months). Here is our calendar (3 terms).
Each class will be taught by a GT instructor.
All materials are included.
Parents will receive weekly feedback/update about the student.
Listed below are the subject that we teach in this school year:
- Math: problem solving and raven (space/diagram logic), integrated with math count, math kangaroo, and math Olympia.
- Reading: vocab + GT Literature
- Phonics: spelling with sound reasoning
- Writing: outline, writing, and revision with grammar lessons
- CogAT: verbal reasoning good for MAP R and PARC tests as well.
- Speaking: Interpersonal comm. and presentation
- Physics: mechanics (kinematics, dynamics, force, energy)
- IT: web programming with Python and database
Our After-school program stands strongly behind the students' high performance in the state-wise MAP Test (Measures of Academic Progress).
- Fall test: 10/11 to 11/2
- Winter test: 1/2 - 2/22
- Spring test: 5/4 - 6/7
