Montessori offers reading/math camp Wyoming Valley Montessori School will offer a special reading and math brush-up camp Aug. 6 through 24 to help elementary school children keep hard-won skills fresh. The three-week day camp is designed for children who are at or below grade level in reading or math. Children may enroll in read- ing or math camp-not both. Camp will run from 10 a.m. to noon weekdays. “Children who have had to work the hardest to keep up with their classes often lose the most over the summer,” said Nancy Pidcock, a reading specialist who will return for a second summer as director of the reading portion of the camp. “This chance to review skills and use them in a camp-style atmosphere can help them get off on the right foot in the next school year,” she added. To make reading fun, Pidcock emphasizes using skills rather than new learning. Children will act-out a play and, if there are enough older children, write a play. They will make a magazine of their writing and they will do crafts projects-in which they must read the directions themselves. Word games are a big part of the camp, too, she said. In the math camp, children will reinforce basic skills and adapt their problem solving skills to real- life situations , said Deborah Proleika, an elementary teacher who will direct the math camp. Children will practice with math and money in a make-believe store, play skills games and reinforce concepts with manipulative mate- rials. Pidcock earned her undergradu- ate degree from Penn State and a master's in psychology of reading from Temple University. She has worked in a variety of classroom and individualized instructional programs in New Jersey and in the Philadelphia area. Proleika, who earned her un- dergraduate degree at Wilkes Col- lege, is working toward a master’s in elementary education at the Uni- versity of Scranton. She has taught at St. Boniface Elementary School, Wilkes-Barre for the past twoyears.
