– New Classes for spring semester : Chyten classes
This coming spring semester, Newton Chinese school will form a partnership with Chyten (http://www.chyten.com) to offer couple of classes at the time period 12:30-1:45pm on Sundays. The class fee is $265/semester. If you would like to register your child to the classes, please come to the library to register. These classes will not be shown in the system.
1. Shark Tank, Jr.: two levels 2nd – 3rd grade, 4th -5th grade
In Shark Tank Jr. students play the role of young entrepreneurs as they start with the germ of an idea for a product and business then take it through the entire entrepreneurial process. Students will be working to formulate a business plan, devise a marketing strategy and understand the concepts of wages and profits. The class concludes with our young executives pitching their ideas to a celebrity panel of “sharks”. These young executives will really be taking care of business!
2. Imagination Authors: two levels 2nd – 3rd grade, 4th -5th grade
In Imagination Authors Chyten teachers foster a love of writing by helping students write and publish their own real book! Teachers continually guide the students, providing contextual lessons on writing techniques. Chyten instructors then synthesize the collective works into one class-wide novel. Each class designs a fantasy world that includes major and minor characters, settings and locales and plot twists. At the end of the course, the students receive their first real novel—published, bound and signed by our Imagination Authors.
