split content so that students are exposed to a variety of sciences
while at Bozymowski. The students can also meet credit requirements by
joining another room. The classes offered are; Physical, Earth, Life

10 weeks in Human Growth and Development.

growth with the E.I. students. This is felt to be a vital component of
the curriculum and is included through out the day.

Language Arts-
Reading and writing are deficit areas for many of the E.I./L.D.

benefiting from this program are mainstreamed in those rooms. Students
who do not require this systematic remedial support follow a standard
English curriculum.

Social Studies-
The center programs are initiating a spiral curriculum approach in
