What is LearningWorks Afterschool?
LearningWorks Afterschool is a hands-on, project-based afterschool
program focused on STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and
Science) education. LearningWorks Afterschool is specifically designed to
give students a positive learning experience that fosters excitement about
learning and contributes to their confidence and success in school!
LearningWorks Afterschool provides opportunities every day to practice
and reinforce skills in reading (fiction and non-fiction), writing (science
notebooks), math, speaking/listening, and vocabulary.
Get ready for more fun with…
“Engineering Adventures” from the Boston Museum of Science!
Students will participate in “engineering challenges” to build skills in:
Problem solving Teamwork Communication Creative thinking
Students will learn: How to use the Engineering Design Process to solve problems Engineers design technologies to help people and solve problems They have the potential for designing/improving technologies They, too, are engineers! Note: LWAS does not offer individualized homework help or tutoring. At the
site coordinator’s discretion, staff may provide opportunities for students to work on
their homework during student choice time. Our main goal is to provide additional
learning opportunities to students through critical thinking activities and projects -
in order to build a variety of academic skills and confidence in learning.
What are we Learning?
“Go Green: Engineering Recycled Racers”
In this engineering unit, students are “traveling “ to Senegal to learn about the way people recycle items that would ordinarily be discarded. Students will become Green Engineers and use recycled materials to engineer their own toy cars,. Then students will enter their cars and compete in a Recycled Racer Rally.
The “5” in the Let’s Go 5210 message recommends eating 5 or more servings of fruits and vegetables a day. Fill half of your plate with fruits and/or vegetables!
