The camp involves incorporating activities that are engaging, age-appropriate, and focused on building foundational writing skills.
Here are a few example strategies we employ at our camp to actively involve children in writing:
- Use Fun Prompts: Provide interesting prompts that stimulate imagination and creativity. For example, "If I could go anywhere in the world, I would go to..." or "My favorite animal is..."
- Start Small: Begin with simple writing tasks such as writing a sentence from simple to descriptive or a short paragrap. Gradually increase the complexity as they become more confident.
- Provide Positive Feedback: Encourage children's efforts and celebrate their progress. Offer specific praise for their ideas, efforts, and improvements in writing.
- Make it Fun: Turn writing into a game by playing writing-related activities like word bingo, storytelling games, or writing scavenger hunts.
- Read Aloud: Read stories and books aloud to children to expose them to different writing styles, vocabulary, and sentence structures. This can inspire their own writing.
- Offer Choices: Allow children to choose their writing topics or formats. Giving them autonomy increases motivation and engagement.
By incorporating these strategies, we can help make writing enjoyable and easy for children in grades K-2, laying a strong foundation for their literacy development.

It is reading between lines in order to discover levels of meaning and develop complex interpretations.
In this class, students will:
(1) Review Basic Reading (imagining, responding, skimming)
(2) Learn Reflective Reading (selecting, scanning, tracking)
(3) Learn Analytical Reading (Interpreting, analyzing)
(4) Write a critical analysis style essay
(5) Build up vocabulary throughout reading
(6) Form up their unique critical essay writing style with correct logical structure and grammar.
In this one week camp, the instructor will lead students to read at least one book, plus shorter pieces or chapters from books in a variety of genres.For essay writing, the first step of critical writing is to take notes on evidence, document quotes and paraphrases while reading. The purpose of critical analysis is not merely to inform, but also to evaluate the worth, utility, excellence, distinction, truth, validity, beauty, or goodness of something from the books that students are reading. We will instruct students to write those notes down on a notebook.
The second step of critical writing is to design a clear logical structure of an essay. Students need to design/plan their essay with clear logical flow before start writing critical essay.
During the revising process, we will check the logical structure, information, interpretation, evaluation of the text, and eliminate grammar errors.

We will use the https://stonesoup.com/ website for inspiration, submit writing for publication or contest, and if all goes as planned, we will do some publishing of our own.Instructor: Jennifer Rose08/04 to 08/08 5 half day Monday-Friday 1:00pm-4:00pm $250/camp Location: 16100 NW Cornell Road Suite 210 Room 1This is the camp for AMC 10/12 and AIME camps, designed to build skills, strategies, and practice for the upcoming Fall 2025 contests. This camp will primarily focus on Algebra and Geometry concepts and problem-solving techniques.
The AMC 10 and AMC 12 are nationwide tests administered by the Mathematical Association of America that qualify you for the American Invitational Mathematics Exam (AIME). Only those with top scores will be invited to take the AIME. The MAA recommends 9th and 10th graders take the AMC 10, and 11th and 12th graders take the AMC 12. You can take the AMC 10 and/or 12 multiple times.
The AMC 10 and AMC 12 each have 25 questions. You have 75 minutes for the entire exam. Note that you don't need to get all of the questions right to get a qualifying score. You just have to do better than most of the other students taking the exam! Keep that in mind as you come up with a strategy for the test.
You need to be in the top 5% of scorers on the AMC 12 or the top 2.5% of scorers on the AMC 10 to qualify, so the vast majority of people who take the AMC exams don't qualify. But, if you do qualify, you can take the American Invitation Mathematics Examination, or AIME.
If you do well on the AIME, you can qualify for the US Mathematical Olympiad. The top scorers from that competition then have the opportunity to train to be on the US team that competes at the International Math Olympiad. (You can find more info on this process over at the Mathematical Association of American website .)
It's a long process to get to the IMO, and very few students make it that far. But even just taking the AIME can set you apart in the college admissions process, especially if you are interested in engineering programs. Along with a high GPA and strong SAT/ACT scores, taking the AIME is a way to signal to colleges you have superior math and problem-solving skills.
This course will help students to be more ready for do well on AMC 10/12 tests. We will use customized materials for different topics in the competition and also use many previously AMC 10/12 questions both in class and for homework.

The PSAT 8/9 tests the same skills and knowledge as the SAT, PSAT/NMSQT, and PSAT 10—in a way that makes sense for eighth and ninth graders. It measures what they’re already learning, shows them whether they’re on track for college, and lets them know where they need the most improvement. That means students have time to tackle these areas long before they take the SAT.
The PSAT 8/9 helps students determine what they need to work on most so that they’re ready for college when they graduate from high school—and it supports educators as they guide the way.
PSAT 8/9 Test Prep Camp - Reading/Writing
Most of the middle schools in Beaverton School district started to ask 8th-grade students to take the PSAT 8/9 test in October two years ago, and the 9th graders in Lake Oswego District will take the PSAT 8/9 test in October too. This camp is for students going to 8th grade or 9th grade to prepare the PSAT 8/9 test in October 2019. The camp will help students become familiar with the test and learn the skills and tips for Evidence-Based Reading and Writing

Students enrolled in this class will be invited to the online adaptive learning system for the Math League contest.
The Math Olympiad camp/class will stimulate enthusiasm and a love for mathematics. It will teach major strategies for problem-solving and develop mathematical flexibility in solving problems. The goal is to strengthen the problem-solving skills of all students.
Math League expands on basic math concepts taught in schools by using more challenging questions and word problems, requiring students to use critical thinking to complete each question accurately and in a timely manner. All questions must be finished in the allotted time, and due to this constraint, the course is focused on practical strategies to quickly and accurately answer these types of questions.
Math Kangaroo is a great way to introduce elementary school students to the world of competitive math. An interactive competition complete with prizes, the test is not based on knowledge but is rather replete with puzzle and logic-type problems. Math Kangaroo is open to students in grades 1 - 12, the competition offers 24 problems to be solved within 75 minutes for grades 1-5 and 30 questions for students in grades 5 and up.

There are 4 books in Beast Academy Level 4: 4A, 4B, 4C, 4D.
- Beast Academy 4A covers shapes, multiplication, and exponents
- Beast Academey 4B covers counting, division, and logic
- Beast Academy 4C covers factors, fractions, and intergers
- Beast Academy 4D covers fractions, decimals, and probability
This class will cover book 4D in Summer. Students who finish this class may continue to the book 5A in the Fall term.
Beast Academy is published by Art of Problem-Solving as an introduction to their rigorous middle school and high school textbooks. It's a comprehensive curriculum for grades 2-5. Each level consists of a Guide book (a fully-illustrated textbook written in an engaging, comic-book style) and a Practice book (a workbook providing hundreds of exercises, problems, puzzles, and games to reinforce the lessons from the Guide).
The guides utilize many everyday contexts and visual representations to encourage children to think deeply and understand what they’re learning. This encourages a diminishment of rote learning and an increase of applying mathematics to various situations.
The materials cover core fundamentals and then presents these fundamentals at a deeper and more challenging level than typical elementary-school math curriculum. The problem sets are explicitly designed to help students develop the mental grit to handle AMC and Math Olympiad problems and later tackle the kind of non-trivial open questions that real mathematicians work on.

07/07 to 08/13 12 Classes Monday,Wednesday 4:30pm-6:00pm $465/term Location: Online15 See prorated tuition in shopping cart.The AMC 10 and AMC 12 are nationwide tests administered by the Mathematical Association of America that qualify you for the American Invitational Mathematics Exam (AIME). Only those with top scores will be invited to take the AIME. The MAA recommends 9th and 10th graders take the AMC 10, and 11th and 12th graders take the AMC 12. You can take the AMC 10 and/or 12 multiple times.
The AMC 10 and AMC 12 each have 25 questions. You have 75 minutes for the entire exam. Note that you don't need to get all of the questions right to get a qualifying score. You just have to do better than most of the other students taking the exam! Keep that in mind as you come up with a strategy for the test.
You need to be in the top 5% of scorers on the AMC 12 or the top 2.5% of scorers on the AMC 10 to qualify, so the vast majority of people who take the AMC exams don't qualify. But, if you do qualify, you can take the American Invitation Mathematics Examination, or AIME.
If you do well on the AIME, you can qualify for the US Mathematical Olympiad. The top scorers from that competition then have the opportunity to train to be on the US team that competes at the International Math Olympiad. (You can find more info on this process over at the Mathematical Association of American website .)
It's a long process to get to the IMO, and very few students make it that far. But even just taking the AIME can set you apart in the college admissions process, especially if you are interested in engineering programs. Along with a high GPA and strong SAT/ACT scores, taking the AIME is a way to signal to colleges you have superior math and problem-solving skills.
This course will help students to be more ready for do well on AMC 10/12 tests. We will use customized materials for different topics in the competition and also use many previously AMC 10/12 questions both in class and for homework.

Ap Physics 1 Mechanics is a good fundation before AP Physics C. Students usaully feel hard to take the AP Physics C class at School since they don't have chance to learn AP Physcis 1. Students who finish AP Physics 1 Mechanics will be very well prepared to start AP Physics C in Summer or next school year.
Prerequisite: Algebra I/Basic Trigonometry or Algebra II
This class is designed to support 8-10th graders to learn to advance or support their school learning by making up gaps. It seeks to broaden students' horizons on a wide range of physics topics. Physics relies heavily on theories and experimentations that are highly quantitative to support conclusions.
Accordingly, foundational knowledge of algebra is required to succeed in this course. For example, students will be required to find the slope and area under graphs. In addition to that, students should have a good handle on basic trigonometrical functions. In this course, students will learn about Mechanics, States of Matter, Waves and light, Electricity and magnetism and Modern physics. Furthermore, students will be expected to construct and judge the validity of a logical argument, demonstrate effective oral and listening skills, use technology in a responsible manner.

07/13 to 08/17 6 Classes Sunday 5:00pm-6:30pm $285/term Location: Online10C++ is a powerful general-purpose programming language. It can be used to develop operating systems, GPU, embedded systems, drones, self driveing cars, , AI, machine learning, jets, browsers, games, and so on. C++ supports different ways of programming like procedural, object-oriented, functional, and so on. This makes C++ powerful as well as flexible.
C++ is an intermediate-level language; learning this language will give you a much deeper understanding of programming structure. In C++, you have to write, declare, and explain everything in the source code, giving you a deeper knowledge of all the program parts. Also, the syntax of C, C++, and Java are almost the same, so learning Java and C after C++ will be very easy.
Other languages like Python are much easier to understand because they are almost syntax-free. You don't have to specify everything while writing its code, which makes the programming part easy, but you don't get the opportunity to learn the logic structure of the program like C++. Once you have learned the C++ language, then other languages will be easy for you to learn, as your foundation becomes strong.
This is a class you can't miss if you are planning to take the USACO competitions.
