Chekechea
Falsafa Yetu
Katika Chuo cha CASA, tunajua kwamba msingi thabiti wa kitaaluma ndio ufunguo wa kuwaweka wasomi kwenye njia ya kuelekea chuo kikuu. Tunatoa mpango mkali na wa furaha wa siku nzima wa shule ya chekechea ambao hauna masomo kwa wasomi wote. Wanafunzi wa shule ya chekechea katika Chuo cha CASA hujifunza ujuzi wa kitaaluma na tabia katika jumuiya ndogo inayounga mkono.
Maendeleo ya Elimu ya Awali
Wasomi katika shule ya chekechea hupokea masaa 3.5 ya maagizo ya kusoma na kuandika kulingana na utafiti kila siku. Watoto wa shule ya chekechea hujifunza majina ya herufi na sauti, jinsi ya kufanya mashairi, na jinsi ya kupata sauti za mwanzo na za mwisho za maneno. Wasomi hujifunza kuunda herufi zao kwa usahihi na kutambua maneno ya kuona. Wakati wa Daily 5, wasomi wa chekechea wana fursa ya kufanya uchaguzi na kusonga kwa kujitegemea kupitia shughuli zinazosaidia maendeleo ya kusoma na kuandika. Wakati wa kusoma kwa kuongozwa, wasomi wa chekechea hupokea maagizo ya kibinafsi kutoka kwa mwalimu wao, kusoma na kujadili matini katika kiwango chao kinachofaa.
Hisabati
Huko CASA, watoto wa shule za chekechea hupokea maagizo ya hesabu ya saa 1 na dakika 45 kila siku ili kufahamu Chuo cha Arizona na Viwango vya Utayari wa Kazi. Katika hesabu ya kalenda, wasomi wanafahamu siku za juma na miezi ya mwaka. Wakati wa mafundisho ya msingi ya hesabu, wasomi hujifunza kuhesabu hadi 100 kwa moja na makumi, kulinganisha nambari, na kuongeza na kutoa ndani ya 10. Wasomi hueleza na kuchanganua maumbo, na kupima vitu.
Katika Chuo cha CASA, wasomi mara nyingi wanaweza kuonekana wakifanya hesabu kwenye ubao mweupe, wakifanya kazi na washirika, na wakitumia ujanja kuchanganua dhana kwa njia ya moja kwa moja. Wakati wa kuongeza kasi ya hesabu, wasomi hupokea usaidizi wa ziada katika hesabu, wakipangwa kulingana na mahitaji yao ya kitaaluma ili kuhakikisha kuwa wanapokea maagizo yaliyolengwa.
Sayansi na Mafunzo ya Jamii
Wasomi wa chekechea pia hujifunza masomo ya sayansi na kijamii, kwa kufuata viwango vya jimbo la Arizona. Katika masomo ya kijamii, watoto wa shule za chekechea hujifunza kujihusu kama raia, wakichunguza umuhimu wa sheria na majukumu, na majukumu katika jamii. Wasomi hujifunza fadhila za kiraia na kanuni na alama za mila ya Amerika.
Watoto wa chekechea huanza kujifunza historia ya ustaarabu mwingine na kulinganisha utamaduni wao wenyewe na tamaduni za wengine. Katika shule ya chekechea, wasomi huletwa kwa sayansi ya kimwili na wazo kwamba ulimwengu umefanywa kwa suala. Wasomi hujifunza juu ya muundo wa Dunia na mfumo wa jua.
Ukuzaji wa Tabia
Mbali na ujuzi wa kitaaluma, Chuo cha CASA hukuza sifa za tabia ambazo wasomi watahitaji ili kufaulu chuoni na maishani, kutoka kwa kupeana mikono kwa nguvu na kutokubaliana kwa adabu hadi kukua kwa uaminifu na uvumilivu. Wasomi hupokea masomo ya wazi ambayo wanajifunza na kufanya mazoezi ya stadi hizi. Wasomi wanatambuliwa na walimu wao katika mikusanyiko ya shule ya kila wiki na “kupiga kelele” kwa kukua katika ujuzi huu.
Kupitia mpango wake bora wa ukuzaji wa wahusika, CASA Academy inaunda viongozi wa siku za usoni wa jumuiya yetu na kumpa kila mwanachuoni ili afanikiwe chuoni na maishani. Bofya hapa ili kujifunza zaidi kuhusu maadili yetu ya msingi katika Chuo cha CASA.
