WHAT IS ROCKETS?
ROCKETS (Raising Our Children's Knowledge By Educating Through Science) is a theme-based early literacy program focused on improving the math and science skills of preschool children. The program brings hands-on science activities to at-risk children to help foster problem solving, critical thinking and exploration skills that are critical to future academic success. The program includes a monthly classroom activity, take home funwork activities to reinforce the theme and encourage parental involvement, and field trips for parents and students related to the monthly theme. In the 2006-2007 year, we expanded ROCKETS to include a Teacher Launch Seminar component because empowering teachers who work with the students on a daily basis is the best way to make a lasting impact on pre-K science education.
