Academic and Movement Class Descriptions
Helping children get Stronger, Smarter, and
Better!
JUNGLE GYM
CLASS
Current research shows that gross motor exercise not only builds a
strong body but actually builds a better brain as well. Our
Jungle Gym class helps students meet their maximum potential. We
focus on building foundational skills including: Eye-hand
coordination/ Core strength/ Perceptual skills/ Motor coordination/
Fine motor skills/ Sustained attention/ Balance. Training
takes place in a fun, group setting where children learn the valuable
life skills of following directions, cooperative play and independence.
SPORTS
DEVELOPMENT CLASS
Core Possibilities Sports Development Class improves athletic
performance and strengthens motor foundations in a fun and exciting
way. THE SPORTS DEVELOPMENT CLASS IS DESIGNED TO:
Improve coordination/ Boost confidence on the sports field/ Enhance
eye-hand and eye-foot coordination/ Increase endurance/ Improve
balance/ Develop good teamwork and sportsmanship skills. This
class is a great mixture of brain and body strengthening activities
engineered for success on the sports field and in the classroom.
READING
COMPREHENSION PROGRAM
A primary cause of comprehension problems is difficulty bringing
everything together and getting a complete picture in the mind. This is
called weak concept imagery. Individuals get only “parts” of an
idea, or a few facts or details, rather than the whole picture.
The Nancibell® Visualizing and Verbalizing Program® (V/V®) successfully
stimulates concept imagery. Individuals become able to make
images in their mind to improve their language comprehension, reasoning
for critical thinking, and expressive language skills in a fun and
exciting way.
MATH
FOUNDATIONS
Math Foundations is designed to strengthen a child’s ability to image
and verbalize the concepts underlying math processes. Math
concepts and numeral imagery are integrated with language and applied
to computation and problem solving. There is emphasis on both
mathematical reasoning and mathematical computation. Our
instruction is based on each individual child’s learning needs and
embodies an interactive, balanced approach. Our goal is to teach
students foundational skills to help them become self-correcting and
more confident in math skills.
MATH BOOT CAMP
Core Possibilities Math Boot Camp is designed to strengthen
foundational math areas as well as the application and computation of
math skills in a fun and exciting way. Each week new concepts
will be introduced while the previously learned skills are reviewed and
practiced. The class will emphasize several key areas needed for
mathematical success including: Imaging Number Sentences, Number Line,
Addition, Subtraction, Problem Solving, Mental Math, Multiplication,
Division, Decimals , Fractions, Geometry and Visual Perception
skills. Strength in these areas will lead to more confidence,
more accuracy, and a clearer understanding of new math concepts.
WRITING
PROGRAM
Our unique and compelling curriculum and teaching strategies allow
children to gain mastery and confidence more quickly so they can focus
on the content of their work rather than the mechanics of letter
formation. These programs combine the proven success of
Handwriting Without Tears® and engaging techniques and activities that
improve a child’s self-confidence, pencil grip and body awareness
skills while teaching accurate letter formation, spacing and neatness.
READING
BOOTCAMP
Reading Boot Camp is designed to strengthen reading and spelling
foundations. The skills taught develop phonemic awareness and
symbol imagery skills in a new sensory-rich method that focuses on
self-correction, increased independence and success. This
class is a great mixture of reading and movement skills engineered for
success. We focus on sound and vowel expectancies, decoding
skills, reading fluency strategies, word imagery, tracking sounds and
sight words.
LEARN TO READ
(Preschool / First Grade)
Learn to Read class is designed to introduce and strengthen
foundational reading skills in a fun and exciting way. The class
will emphasize several key areas needed for reading success,
including: Phonemic awareness (clear discrimination of consonant
and vowel sounds and blends)/Decoding and word attack skills/Tracking
sound patterns and changes in words/Building a sight word
bank. Strength in these areas will lead to more confidence,
more accuracy and a clearer understanding of the reading process over
time. This class is a great mixture of reading and movement
skills engineered for success.
FOCUS
AND ATTENTION CLASSES Students
are naturally inquisitive, explorative, demonstrative and sensitive,
but when they have trouble with attention issues, getting them to focus
in a restricted environment becomes an even bigger challenge.
There is HOPE! Core Possibilities offers dynamic, interactive
sessions for students with focus and attention weaknesses. Our
goal is to teach strategies and build self awareness to help maximize
each child’s potential and independence. These sessions will
emphasize several key areas needed for attention and focus success,
including: Impulse control/Sustained visual and auditory attention/and
Self-awareness. This class is a great mixture of movement and
focus & attention skills engineered for success.
