New APLUS Education: GT Mathematics & Humanities Program for Middle School Students Virtual Open House & Gallery Walk for Prospective Parents Dear Parents of Highly Gifted Montgomery County Middle School Students: If you have a highly gifted rising 6th, 7th or 8th grader whose need for accelerated and enriched instruction cannot be met by his or her current middle school and/or the district’s on-grade-level curriculum, your child may well benefit from APLUS Learning Center’s GT Mathematics & Humanities program. Our Humanities courses are based on award-winning William & Mary GT Language Arts curricula supplemented by the Vocabulary from Classical Roots program, as well as interdisciplinary strands from history, oratory, visual arts, film studies and philosophy. Our GT mathematics courses are scheduled according to our students’ current math levels rather than by age or grade level. Currently we offer Honors Algebra I, Honors Geometry and Honors Algebra II. Students are scheduled for these courses based upon placement tests administered in-house (online for Fall of 2020).  If you missed our virtual Open House last spring, you may access a recorded version at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHh1tBUDgUA: In it, you will meet our GT Director, retired MCPS magnet teacher and IB Middle Years Programme coordinator, Ms. Ashley Moss-Pham, as well as our Humanities and math magnet faculty and two student ambassadors, both of whom are rising 8th graders in the program. The purpose, intended audience and content of the APLUS GT program, as well as logistics for testing, applications, class sessions, etc., are covered in the presentation as well. In addition, we are pleased to share a virtual glimpse of some of the work our GT students have produced over the past year. If you would like to preview the type and level of projects and assignments our GT Humanities students are routinely asked to create, please visit our Online GT Gallery at: https://aplusgtprogram.wordpress.com/ Contact: Jocelyn Park, Director Address: 215 West Montgomery Ave., Rockville, MD 20850 Tel: 301-838-9668 New U.S. Chess Center Learn chess with the most experienced chess teachers available online. http://chessctr.org/programs#chess-day-camps The U.S. Chess Center offers online group lessons for all levels of students from rising first graders through rising 12th graders. Center students have won more than 50 state and national chess championships (individual and team) and several hundred of our long-time students have gone on to attend highly selective universities, many on scholarship. Another of our long-time students, International Grandmaster Alex Sherzer, wrote, “Not only did the U.S. Chess Center’s methods help me achieve my goals in chess, but I also developed valuable intellectual skills that I use as a doctor.” Our online lessons meet once or twice per week for 30 minutes, as we believe that more lessons or longer lessons will dull the students’ appetite for the game. We also offer daily sessions for online play. Our lessons are fully interactive with the students, asking them to share their ideas and questions throughout. We do not use pre-recorded videos. For the schedule and registration, please visit   Thinking Outside The BOx “Thinking Outside The BOx" is just the right thing for them! This class gives your child the opportunity to learn how to think on their feet and spend time in a wonderfully stimulating and creative environment while learning how to tackle challenging problems. The class usually starts with a brain warm up question or challenge, followed by a presentation and open discussion on a specific concept/topic, such as brainstorming, team building, problem solving, critical and creative thinking , leadership development, etc and ends with a subject related hands-on project or activity, individual or team oriented. Children use their imagination to build and create all sorts of contraptions, structures, bridges, vehicles, creatures, etc out of all kind of materials such as pasta, marshmallows, straws, toothpicks, elastic bands, plastic cups, paper, clay, popsicle sticks, pipe cleaners, bubble wrap, yarn, duck tape, card board, etc. In TOB they will have fun and apply their creative and critical thinking while learning crucial concepts and skills for our new digital increasingly complex and challenging world.
