Art, Cooking, and Tumbling take place in Faith House. Science and Spanish take place in Trinity House.

There are 15 weeks in the Fall Semester. Classes will not be made up for school closures due to bad weather or events beyond the school’s control.

Mondays - Spanish with Mrs. Dills
12:10-1:00pm (1st, 3rd, & 4th Mondays)
$135 Fall Semester

Introduction to the Spanish Language is what your child will receive when they spend time in this class. Through songs, games, art activities, and stories, Spanish vocabulary such as colors, numbers, days of the week, months of the year, parts of the body, clothing, and household items will be emphasized. Research has shown that the best thing for a child this age is to hear a language being spoken and to try to speak the words - this develops neural pathways in the brain that can be accessed later in life when serious language study is undertaken.

Tuesdays - Artist Exploration with Kelli Sims
12:10—1:00pm
$190 per semester

Students will explore interesting and unusual art techniques while creating original works of art in this exciting class. Class time focuses on a famous artist such as Picasso, Monet, and Seurat, and techniques as varied as dotting, scraping, rolling and spraying. Exploration of form, color, lines, shapes, and the use of various mediums and materials encourage the mind's creativity and imagination.

Thursdays - The Green Gang with Mrs. Cariker
12:10—1:00pm

The Green Gang is on the move - to save our planet by renewing, recycling, reusing, and replacing things we use every day! Mrs. Cariker our resident science expert will help make your child into a green thing- someone who can turn your house into a green machine! Using scientific techniques we will observe, gather evidence, record data, try out our hypothesis, and create some green laws for living in a renewable world while making our school and homes a better place to be!

Fridays - Tumble, Dance and Cheer with Mrs. Ward
12:10—1:00pm
$190 per semester or $350 for both!

Traditional tumbling, stretching, and large motor movement await your child from 12-1 on Friday afternoons. A balance beam, tumble mat, games and songs make this class a perennial favorite of boys and girls alike. From 1-2 pm Mrs. Ward is adding something new - dance and cheer routines! Little girls (and boys too) will love learning to cheer on their favorite teams and dance to their favorite songs in this tiny version of a "big kid" class. Children who only attend the 2nd half of the class may attend Stay and Play for free.
