WiSHES Summer Enrichment Connections Program (WSECP)

Summer is a time of relaxation and fun and that is precisely, what our recreational activities offer our program participants. Onsite activities have include reading, science projects, playing board games, assembling puzzles, robotics projects, crafts, computer games, and card games. One day per week, we are offsite for field trips. 

 

Focuses of the academic component during the WSECP:

  1. Encouraging academic confidence, growth, and improvement while preventing summer slide. A love for mathematics, reading comprehension may not be in your every student’s future but, a fundamental knowledge and understanding of each is important.
  2. Fun internet-based activities that engage students while teaching the fundamentals of math, phonics, reading, and reading comprehension.
  3. Computer platform that youth teaches youth both math and basic coding.
  4. Standardized workbook curriculum for Math and English Language Arts.

Butterfly Project

  • During our butterfly project, we observed the life cycle of Painted Lady Butterflies. As the students learned, the Butterflies Life Cycle is from eggs to caterpillars, to chrysalis where they emerge as a butterfly. We began with 36 caterpillars and at the end of the project; we had 25 Beautiful Painted Lady Butterflies that we released outside of the center.
  • We filmed time-lapsed video of the caterpillar going into chrysalis and emerging from chrysalis as a butterfly. Click here to see it for yourself!
