Course Descriptions
Esports
Grade 7 - 8
Does your child enjoy video games? Shelton is launching an Esports (electronic sports) summer program. Students will
play Madden NFL, Rocket League, and League of Legends. These three video games are school appropriate and rated
E for everyone and T for Teen. Esports is one of the fastest growing extracurricular activities among middle and high
school students, earning some students college scholarships. In addition to learning the three video games, students will
play in tournaments. Capacity is limited as special equipment and technology is required for each participant. Students
must provide their own wired controller.
Every Fact Counts
Grades 5 – 8
Can your student recall multiplication and division facts as quickly as needed for classroom success? This class is
designed to improve students’ memory and speed through multisensory drills and computer games. Students will learn
strategies that can be used year-round to reinforce math facts.
First Aid and Disaster Preparedness
Grades 5 – 8
Students will learn how to perform first aid/CPR on adults, children and infants and how to prepare for natural disasters.
They will learn to bandage and splint an injury, and how to respond to emergency situations. We will create home
emergency plans and learn valuable tips for home safety. Prevention of accidents will be taught as well. This is a fun and
valuable class for all!
Great Grammar
Grades 7 – 8
Everything students need to know about the basics of grammar will be covered in this class through the use of a
structured, multisensory approach known as Winston Grammar. This class will begin with articles, nouns, pronouns,
verbs, and build as far as the class can go. Students will be taught the structure of grammar and will develop an
understanding that each part of speech is like an individual puzzle piece that can be connected to create a masterpiece.
