After-School Enrichment for K-5th grades:
Monday
People Art – Students will be introduced to some of the world’s greatest artists and capture their perspectives, portrayals and interpretations of human art. Students will learn how to sculpt a head like Picasso, carve the face of Michelangelo using soap and paint a family portrait on a clay surface like the Egyptians.
Tuesday
Botany & Gardening – This two-part class will be likened to a “lecture and lab” format where students will learn the science of botany and reinforce what they’ve learned through hands on planting. Our botany lab work will focus on soil studies and “seed mysteries.” Gardening will take place in our E3 garden or in a designated area on school campus. Students will get their hands dirty and be in touch with the earth as they build and maintain their gardens and see the fruits of their labor!
Wednesday
Reader’s Theatre – Under the direction of Sierra Fisk, students will invent characters, stories, and scenes by infusing their scripts with expressive voices, creative settings and invented dialogue. A short production will be held at the end of the session.
Thursday
Science: “O is for Ology” – Speleology, geology and archeology will be the focus of this class as students uncover our physical earth in different capacities that include, caves, archaeological sites, weathering, the rock cycle and how these components affect the earth. Students will be exploring and “spelunking” in no time!
Friday
Fun Friday – Check with your Site Supervisor to see what’s in store for the end of the week.
