Summer 2020 5th, 6th & 7th Grade Gifted & Talented STEM Summer Camps

We are igniting a passion and curiosity for STEM subjects and fields as we continue a tradition of

innovation at La Joya ISD!

Students will complete hands-on STEM learning activities applying the engineering design

process while exploring STEM themes and creating original designs.

STEM subjects (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) are the foundations of the

industrial & corporate world. Early exposure to hands-on learning and STEM education is one of

the best ways to engage students and ultimately set them on a long-term path for success in

college and a career of their choice.

What separates STEM from the traditional science and math education is the blended learning

environment and showing students how the scientific method can be applied to everyday life. The

STEM program will teach students computational thinking and focuses on the real world

applications of problem solving. STEM education creates critical thinkers, increases science

literacy, and enables the next generation of innovators.

The Engineering Design Process will be a major emphasis in all activities during the camps.

The Engineering Design Process is a series of steps that engineers follow to come up with a

solution to a problem. Many times the solution involves designing a product (like a machine or

computer code) that meets certain criteria and/or accomplishes a certain task.

STEM Themes Offered / Activities:

● Engineering and Design

● Computer Science / Robotics Programming

● Technology and Communications

● Virtual Reality

A variety of activities will be designed under each STEM theme that will allow each student to

experience the meaning of each theme while learning specific skills and knowledge through the

activity

5th, 6th, and 7th Grade Gifted and Talented STEM Summer Program

Program Description &

Calendar Days

Early exposure to hands-on learning and STEM education is one of the best ways to engage students and ultimately set them on a long-term path for success in college and a career of their choice. STEM Camps will focus on students enrolled in the Gifted and Talented Program in the 5th, 6th, and 7th grades. The engineering design process will be a major emphasis during the camps to show students how the process can be applied to everyday life as well as in computational and critical thinking and problem solving. STEM education creates critical thinkers, increases science literacy, and enables the next generation of innovators.

Summer 2020 5th, 6th & 7th Grade Gifted & Talented STEM Summer Camps

We are igniting a passion and curiosity for STEM subjects and fields as we continue a tradition of

innovation at La Joya ISD!

Students will complete hands-on STEM learning activities applying the engineering design

process while exploring STEM themes and creating original designs.

STEM subjects (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) are the foundations of the

industrial & corporate world. Early exposure to hands-on learning and STEM education is one of

the best ways to engage students and ultimately set them on a long-term path for success in

college and a career of their choice.

What separates STEM from the traditional science and math education is the blended learning

environment and showing students how the scientific method can be applied to everyday life. The

STEM program will teach students computational thinking and focuses on the real world

applications of problem solving. STEM education creates critical thinkers, increases science

literacy, and enables the next generation of innovators.

The Engineering Design Process will be a major emphasis in all activities during the camps.

The Engineering Design Process is a series of steps that engineers follow to come up with a

solution to a problem. Many times the solution involves designing a product (like a machine or

computer code) that meets certain criteria and/or accomplishes a certain task.

STEM Themes Offered / Activities:

● Engineering and Design

● Computer Science / Robotics Programming

● Technology and Communications

● Virtual Reality

A variety of activities will be designed under each STEM theme that will allow each student to

experience the meaning of each theme while learning specific skills and knowledge through the

activity

Making Mathematics Meaningful

Making Mathematics Meaningful is a Migrant Education Program Consortium Incentive Grant (CIG) designed in response to substantial needs identified in migrant students in the lead state of Texas and the consortium receiving states of Arkansas, Illinois, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, New York, and Wisconsin (plus Indiana, Nebraska, and Washington participating as partner states not competing for CIG funds).

Making Mathematics Meaningful goals, measurable outcomes, and activities were designed for the most mobile students enrolled in summer programs. The overarching goal of the project is to improve the math skills of migrant students through scientifically-based instruction, technology integration, professional development, and parent involvement.

Making Mathematics Meaningful activities include:

● Developing an innovative, needs-based primary grade summer math program that will result in increased math skills of K-6 migrant students, innovative delivery of instruction using video and online networking, and content-based lesson assessments

● Providing lessons and courses to middle school, secondary students, and out-of-school youth (OSY) to promote graduation and college and career readiness

● Providing professional development to ensure fidelity to scientifically-based instruction strategies for all instructors and tutors

● Involving and training parents to promote math learning in school and in the home

MISSION AND PURPOSE

Project Smart Making Mathematics Meaningful is a Migrant Education Program Consortium Incentive

project designed in response to substantial needs identified in migrant students in the lead state of Texas

and the consortium receiving states of Arkansas, Illinois, Michigan, Montana, New York, Virginia, and

Wisconsin. Project Smart Making Mathematics Meaningful features interstate and intrastate coordination

to provide the most highly mobile students with research and evidence-based curriculum, instruction, and

support services that address their special needs. Project Smart Making Mathematics Meaningful goal is to

operate a high quality consortium that improves the intrastate and interstate coordination of migrant

education programs by addressing key needs of migratory children who have had their education

interrupted. Key activities of the project include:

● An innovative, needs-based math program designed specifically for highly mobile, migrant

students in grades K-12 that adapts Project Smart Making Mathematics Meaningful and PASS

curricula;

● A design that promotes the preparation of migrant students for higher level math encompassing 5

dimensions of mathematical proficiency;

● A high quality, professional development component that is based on Texas’ Teacher

Competencies (knowledge and skills) that are needed to successfully carry out the project goals,

objectives, and activities;

● A Project Smart Making Mathematics Meaningful Steering Team (MST) composed of a project

director and a representative from each consortium state, an external evaluator, and other

stakeholders; as well as a Content Advisory Team consisting of migrant math specialists, math

state directors, and university/agency staff with expertise in math to build bridges across content

areas and federal programs;

● The involvement of parents as partners with the school to facilitate their child’s learning;

● The innovative use of technology for the delivery of instruction to students and professional

development to instructional staff; and

● The collaboration of states and agencies to align services, curriculum, instruction, educational

materials, assessment, systems for data collection and reporting, professional development, and the

transfer of records to benefit students who are the most highly mobile.

INTRODUCTION

This guide is developed for administrators, teachers, and Project Smart Making Mathematics Meaningful

Partners, working with migrant students in Texas and in participating consortium states. Your

contributions, diligence, patience, and expertise are critical elements, which make Project Smart Making

Mathematics Meaningful a successful learning opportunity for students. By working enthusiastically and

supportively, educators throughout the nation provide students with opportunities to learn. These students

who move from state to state become the shared responsibility of each state.

Project Smart Making Mathematics Meaningful participating staff and students are truly educational

pioneers exploring paths for more effective instructional opportunities. Through past experiences in

distance learning, we know that students can learn utilizing instructional television. In Project Smart Math

MATTERS, we blend different settings, school and home, to provide unique opportunities for students by

addressing the two performance goals of mathematics and reading.

Re: Special Education Extended School Year Program

The extended school year program for special education students will focus on the students’

individual educational plans which are based on the student’s ARD/IEP recommendations.

Students who should be considered are those that have shown regression after a break (such as

summer or Christmas) and have been indicated on their IEP report cards as not making adequate

progress. Extended school year needs to be documented in the IEP and the ARD committee

should make recommendations as to the number of hours per day that the student needs to attend

the program.

Thank you for your cooperation and support.
