Spring 2022: What’s New for Grades 4-8?

Spring 2022: What’s New for Grades 4-8?

 In 2021, we introduced many new elements to the MEK program–elements that we added in confidence that they would make MEK more MEK-like. Amidst the prolonging of the COVID-19 pandemic, we brought students back on-site to alleviate fatigue. To manage our virtual classes better, we implemented Canvas.

But we realized this Fall that that was simply not enough. We realized that maybe we need to rethink the MEK way. And in doing so, redefine ourselves for the new normal.

The new normal doesn’t just consist of the normalization of remote work and learning and going to school in a mask. The new normal is shortened attention spans, lower retention of learned material, and weakened problem-solving skills.

This Spring, in our 25th year, MEK is catering to the new normal so that we can provide guidance to students of all skill levels. We will provide guidance, direction, and support to all students who need MEK.

MEK Learning Circles: Enriched / Advanced | Grades 4-8

 

MLC Enriched (MLC-E)
In-Person
In-Person, Small Group Classes
Palisades Park and Closter Campuses

 

MLC-E follows the same curriculum as our usual MLC courses, with a key addition: enrichment of essential study skills in an in-person setting.

Students meet in groups of 3-6 to not only build key material learning, but also relearn the classroom skills they forgot during the pandemic, reinforced in the in-person setting:

  • Communication skills: listening closely, making eye-contact, dictating clearly
  • Study skills: annotation and note-taking
  • Classroom skills: staying focused for the entire class time without computer or phone distractions

 

MLC-E classes will have limited availability so that we can ensure the safety of our students. If you are interested in the program, please fill out the form at the bottom of this page to have priority standing in our waitlist!

MLC Advanced (MLC-A)
Virtual
Virtual, Small Group Classes

 

Building test-taking skills requires students to have a higher understanding of school topics, through which they have greater confidence to make quick decisions while taking tests. MLC-A will set the foundation for standardized testing skills through enhanced problem-solving and interpretation questions.

Students will meet virtually in groups of 4-8 to…

  • Learn problem interpretation skills to solve word problems
  • Learn how to set up problems to quickly and accurately solve them
  • Practice verbal skills through analogies and sentence completions
  • Gain exposure to a variety of reading prompts and reinforce reading comprehension through annotation
  • Develop effective study routines

 

Students who complete this course will have completed the first essential step to SSAT or ISEE Prep.
