Wednesday - Auxiliary Room - 201: 10:00 am - 11:50 am
Description:
Children discover and create original masterpieces during this semester long class. An open ended sculpting approach encourages children to engage with materials using elements of engineering, design and artistry.
Free form creations inspired by artists and architects from around the world.
Your children's creations are all original!
A calm classroom environment is created with children in mind. Using a multi table setup children sculpt at one table with three more provided for further exploring.
Teachers Note:
Art is about the process of creating, not about the product that comes from the creating. When young children are given the opportunity to discover, explore and make mistakes, unique and creative artwork will flow. They learn to think creatively when allowed the freedom to express themselves through art. Process art also strengthens fine motor skills, critical thinking, and spatial intelligence. It is also a lot of fun!

Wednesday - Preschool A - 131: 11:00 am - 12:50 pm
Description:
This is a class where learning and play go hand in hand. Children are naturally curious and imaginative, eager to explore the world around them. In The Wonder Workshop, we encourage that curiosity through exploration-based, imaginative learning. Each class includes circle time, songs, stories, art, and playful engagement in our themed centers, like play kitchen, grocery store, ice cream shop, and more. Children will role-play, problem solve, and choose activities that interest them - encouraging independence, curiosity, and creativity. A snack will be provided, giving students the opportunity to enjoy food with one another, practice conversation, and table manners. Throughout the class, children develop early literacy and math skills, social-emotional skills, and creativity. They are encouraged to explore, imagine, and take joy in learning, while gently learning to work with peers and build confidence in themselves. Join us and let your child's imagination and curiosity come alive!
Requirements:
Children should be able to separate from a caregiver and follow simple directions in a small group setting. Parent or guardian must be available on Slack for bathroom breaks or diaper changes, and children need to be taken to restroom before class starts. A snack will be provided, please let me know of any allergies.
This class will be learning about all the different countries in the world. How do Irish people dance? Which culture has the weirdest food? What even is the word culture? Join the hypothetical plane as it takes off to fly to different areas of the earth weekly. Let me know if your child has allergies as sometimes I will bring food originating from the place. We will have hands-on activities to go along with what we're learning and a short video sometimes of the place. One example is drawing on a t-shirt (I'll need sizes) something they liked from each country and taking it home at the end of the semester. Join the adventure as we explore God's world together!
It can be hard to navigate the world today with all kinds of messages coming at us. It's even harder for our kids. In this class the students will learn what is Biblical truth and how to sift through what the World tells is is truth or good to see what is evil and what God really wants for us. We will be using Foundation Worldview curriculum on Biblical Worldview which will include a 10-15 min video lesson, followed by a discussion, and class activity.
In this class we will meet every week preparing for an end performance on May 10 and 11 (show details coming soon). Along the way your student will learn about theater, but the main point in this class is the put those skills into practice. It is not required, but encouraged that you take one of the theater classes as well so you can be learning more in the meantime.
In this class, we will learn about theater from the crew perspective, and go over numerous things you need to know in the different positions on crew. We will have you put on and take off mics, set and strike a scene, etc. This class will meet Fridays, from 2-3pm, right before show rehearsals. There will be 4-6 class times (times TBD) where crew will need to stay until 5 to rehearse with the cast to prep for the show. Our show is tentatively May 10 and 11.
