We have five different Lego Duplo education sets to explore with your preschool/preK kids. Learning will begin through free exploration and experimentation, before we try different challenges in the curriculums. Kids will be developing problem solving skills while working on accepting things that didn't work as part of the path to success. Playing and working with Legos, improves fine motor skills, spatial reasoning, creativity, and social skills. Manipulating the bricks helps develop hand-eye coordination, dexterity, and finger strength. Building also encourages spatial reasoning.
Available kits include
STEAM Park
Tubes
Mosaic Tiles
Coding Express
Engineering (retired kit)
We will work through the curriculums at the kids pace introducing new kits when they will expand or extend learning. We may not use every kit during this semester.
Requirements:
Parents, please take care of restroom or diaper needs before class. Please stay available on Slack in case bathroom needs arise during class. A parent may accompany tentative students to help them become more comfortable with independence.

Jesus said "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven" (Matthew 5:16). How can we train our children to have Godly Christian Character that sets them apart from the world? During this class, students will learn about and develop Godly characteristics through Scripture, art, games, and character studies. Each week we will delve into and practice a different characteristic such as Honoring God, Respecting Others, Telling The Truth, and having Self-Control. Nothing is more important than being grounded in God's Word and letting His light shine!

A big highlight everyday will be earning Merit Badge stickers that they will add the their Camp Journal (Fruits of the Spirit and "Scouting" badges).

Welcome to Campfire Kids – Each day your kids will experience a real, retro-style camping trip (minus the bugs). The kids sit on sleeping bags inside a real tent to learn camp songs, read camp stories with their flashlights and learn our Fruits of the Spirit bible devotion for the day. We will eat classic camp snacks like s'mores and trail mix, on vintage camp dishes and do a different nature/science craft/activity each day. For example, we will learn how to draw birds while listening to real Washington birdsong. Our craft will be a birdfeeder, and we will make and eat “bird nest” treats. Each day will have a different nature focus: examining real flowers and make a pressed flower “stained glass window” and eat “dirt” pudding. On our Beach Day, kids will make mandalas with shells, beach glass and driftwood, then decorate & eat beach-scene graham crackers. The kids will get-moving everyday with vintage camp games like potato sack races, tug-o-war, hopscotch and balloon volleyball. During free time campers will be able to read camp stories in our tent, check out the water bead “river” bin, build Legos or visit our an art table. A big highlight everyday will be earning Merit Badge stickers that they will add to their Camp Journal (Fruits of the Spirit and "Scouting" badges). I can't wait to meet all my happy campers.
