Students will learn the language of undercover agents in this children's cryptology class. Cryptology is the science of secret writing which uses math and logical reasoning to decode and create mystery alphabets. Each week, students will learn one or more ciphers and will practice using them to decode messages and write secret messages to each other! Student operatives will begin their stealth options by making their own cipher wheels, cipher strips, and experimenting with shift ciphers. They will learn about algorithms and keys and test different recipes for invisible ink. The quarter will culminate in a collaboration to crack a variety of codes to flee a classroom Escape Room which may include challenges such as coded letters, picture clues, mirror image writings, puzzling word searches, and cryptograms. We will also share the stories of famous writers and code-crackers including some female cryptologists and Navajo Code Talkers. Topics in the Series: Spies (Quarter 1), Secret Agents (Quarter 2), Sleuths (Quarter 3), and Superheroes (Quarter 4).

Math like you've never seen it before. In Crazy 8s Math Club, kids experience math as something active, social, and genuinely fun. Developed by the Bedtime Math Foundation, this national program features high-energy games and hands-on challenges that appeal to students of all ability levels. Each session is packed with fast-paced, interactive activities where math concepts are woven into the fun. Students might dive into Glow-in-the-Dark Geometry, compete in a Crazy 8s Race, test their aim with Daring Darts, or crack codes in Spy Training. Along the way, they build skills in number sense, operations, logic, and problem-solving, often without even realizing how much math they are doing. Quarter 1 explores a wide range of concepts through play, including 2-D and 3-D shapes, patterns, addition, subtraction, multiplication, and early algebraic thinking. Students also encounter topics like probability, area and perimeter, fractions, graphing, and financial literacy through games like Funny Money. Activities are designed to encourage teamwork, creative thinking, and confidence. This is not a traditional math class. Crazy 8s Math Club is recreational, energetic, and designed to show kids that math is everywhere and something to look forward to. Second graders may not enroll in this level.
