All students at Learning Express Academy enjoy participating in a variety
of Special Activities throughout the school week. These activities include:
- Computers– Our Computer Lab, also known as
the “Technology Train,” is equipped with brand new computer
equipment, including desktops, a laptop, printer and high-speed Internet
connections. The layout of the lab is organized to encourage cooperative
learning, while at the same time allowing students the opportunity to
work individually using computer headsets. The objective of the Technology
curriculum is not only to teach students about computer components and
software, but also to complement concepts learned in their daily subjects,
such as Spelling, Reading and Mathematics.
- Library – Each class enjoys periodic visits
to the school’s Library where they meet with the Librarian for
story time in the sunroom reading area. Shelves are stocked with educational
and recreational reading materials for all levels, and each child has
the opportunity to check–out a book at every visit to take home
and read.
- Physical Education – Using our spacious indoor
gymnasium, students participate in weekly Physical Education classes,
where they are taught the importance of exercise and healthy lifestyles.
- Spanish – To broaden multicultural awareness,
students are taught Spanish-speaking skills as well as traditions in
the Latin American culture. In Kindergarten, children learn concepts
such as numbers, colors and greetings, and by 2nd grade, begin forming
basic sentences.
- Art & Music – Creativity and imagination
are important characteristics in the life of a child, and students enjoy
the freedom to display these traits during music and art classes. Age
appropriate materials are used to complement class instruction.
