Enrichment Programs (see options below)

Seeking volunteers who are interested in leading any of the following enrichment programs. Online training is available and required. Please contact Dijana Sivac if you are interested

• SKILLBUILDERS

The program was developed to help kindergarten thru second grade students develop lifelong literacy and math skills. The volunteer program is comprised of a variety of activities that volunteers can practice with students one-on-one in the classroom while reinforcing the skills that classroom teachers have already introduced to kindergarteners through lesson plans, including: Reading aloud, tracing the alphabet, sorting and finding letters, listening to sounds, and counting and building number recognition. This program occurs during the school day.

• CHALLENGE READING

Volunteers provide children with additional opportunities to foster a love of reading outside of the classroom by introducing various genres of literature, extending students' writing connections, and promoting higher level thinking skills. Like a book club! This occurs outside of school hours, usually before school.

• MATH PLUS

The purpose of Math PLUS is to provide additional, on-going mathematical experiences for students in grades K-5. Students participate in math activities that reinforce problem solving, logic and reasoning, and communicating mathematical findings. This makes math learning fun! This occurs outside of school hours, usually before school.

The Anoka-Hennepin School District is administering the annual Student Anti-Bullying survey to

a sample of classrooms in grades 4, 6, 8 and 10 between October 8th and November 15th.

The survey asks students about bullying behaviors they may have experienced or witnessed at

school. The results are used to help identify and address areas of concern to make the school

environment safe and welcoming for all students.
