Brainiacs: Engaging and Enriching Materials for our After-school Program!
Help me give my students engaging resources to use during our after-school enrichment program! This new program will serve K-5 students in our Brainiacs after-school classrooms now and for many years to come.
Brainiacs is a newly developed after-school program that aims to further enhance and enrich the learning experiences of our highest-performing students in our school. This newly launched program needs engaging learning materials for our 35, K-5 students. Twice a week, they will have the opportunity to do reading and math enrichment activities. With these materials, our students will continue to be driven to seek success, and most importantly, feel appreciated for the value of their academic strengths through fun and engaging activities every week!
Most of these materials will stay with our afters-chool Brainiacs classes for many years to follow.
Amongst the list includes, math and reading games (board games), puzzles, hands-on activities, riddles, writing materials, and STEM project resources.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
