Math & Science Connection - Beginning Edition
|
Parents can help their child(ren) understand—and enjoy math & science. For instance, at school, your youngster is learning early algebra skills. With these ideas, he/she will enjoy playing with algebra after school, too. Working with patterns of objects will help your child see patterns in numbers—a basic principle of algebra.

Fall 2019 Amity HOST FAMILIES Needed!
|
Each year PSI welcomes eight Amity Interns from Spanish speaking countries who assist our teachers in the K-5 classrooms. These interns are either pursuing or have recently completed a college degree with an education focus, and are between the ages of 20-30 years old. Amity interns live with PSI host families one semester, allowing both the Amity and family an opportunity for greater language learning and cultural exchange.
Please consider hosting an Amity Intern for a semester. This unique and wonderful experience can benefit your entire family. Plus, it's a great way to give back to the students, staff and entire community.
Ready to sign up? Go to
