SOAR21

3RD, 4TH, & 5TH Grade Pull-Out

In the SOAR21 Program, we strive to go beyond Core Standards and support classroom learning by meeting the individual interests and abilities of students in the program. At each grade level and for each student, the program is structured to provide authentic and challenging experiences. Students are living in a time of exponential growth and education is the most important opportunity they will have to prepare them for this rapidly changing world. Students will participate in 21st century skill building experiences, think globally about their presence in the world, create and innovate through project based learning, and compete in challenges on local and state levels. It is my goal to encourage high achieving students who are motivated and creative to use their strengths and interests as the foundation for their critical thinking and leadership.

PARE: Enrichment

Small Group Pull-Out

In the Cresskill Elementary Schools, we support the diverse needs of a classroom by providing students with a PARE (Personal Academic Reinforcement and Enrichment) period. In grades 2 - 5, teachers may recommend students (who are not already in the SOAR21 program) who show above grade level ability in various subject areas to receive small group enrichment during this period. Within this setting, students have the opportunity to challenge themselves in a unit of study that builds upon objectives they have learned in their class.
