Electives

ELECTIVES

Making a decision is a crucial procedure. We hope that the student and the parent both agree on the elective. Making four decisions at the seventh and eighth grade levels is crucial since the electives on the list could be canceled if there aren’t enough sign-ups. The student may be given any two of these electives, not just their top two selections.

The nature of the course, the student’s interests, and their prior experiences are a few elements to take into account. These electives include a multitude of hands-on learning opportunities. Numerous music electives can improve musical ability and pave the way for high school music participation.
Students may enroll in the second level of the same language in high school if they successfully complete two years of foreign language study in the middle grades.

React is a JavaScript library used to create front-end apps and user interfaces.

To make your code simple to read and maintain, it enables you to design reusable components. React may be used to create static websites and one-page applications when combined with a tool like Webpack.

React is declarative, which is another crucial point to make. This means that it describes what should be presented on the screen in a more natural way. This makes debugging your code simpler. React’s component-based architecture also makes it easier to handle and reuse small, independent portions in other applications.

Reading Skills and Strategies (Semester Course)

A semester system divides the academic year into two sessions: fall and spring. Each session is approximately 15 weeks long, with a winter break between the fall and spring sessions and a summer break after the spring session.

The main content strands of the course—reading comprehension, vocabulary development, study skills, and media literacy—are designed to help the struggling reader achieve mastery in these areas. The course helps the student develop the abilities required for success in the academic setting and beyond using three strands. The reading comprehension strand aims to familiarize students with the various goals of reading (such as amusement, information, task completion, or analysis). The student learns particular techniques for comprehending and remembering new words in the vocabulary strand.

Writing Skills and Strategies (Semester Course)

A semester system divides the academic year into two sessions: fall and spring. Each session is approximately 15 weeks long, with a winter break between the fall and spring sessions and a summer break after the spring session.

Through a semester of interactive instruction and supervised practice in composition principles, Writing Abilities and Strategies helps students build the critical language arts abilities required for high school graduation and success on high-stakes tests. Ten small study modules make up the course.

The first two lessons introduce students to the writing process and to the elements of sentences and paragraphs through a series of low-stress, high-interest hook activities. This is done in the hopes of fostering early success and confidence. Students review, write, practice, and turn in one piece of writing during successive units. The four main learning strands of composition practice, grammar skill development, diction and style awareness, and media and technology inquiry are all integrated throughout the course. Guided studies offer an emphasis on the fundamental elements of writing that are used in school, in daily life, and at work. These modes of practice are scaffolded to suit students with varying levels of skill.
