Join Miss Kristin, (AFAA- Aerobics, and Fitness Association of America), Certified Group Fitness Instructor. Together we will work through obstacle courses, resistance and bodyweight training, basic sports movements, interval training, and some fun self defense moves. Many new and exciting games like spiderball, sprout, pinball, and tower topple. As well as tug of war, dodgeball, scooter and relay races, and much more! This program is designed for each child to build confidence in their abilities, at their own level of fitness, while learning teamwork, and good sportsmanship. Please be on time for our warm up at the very beginning and have your student use the restroom before class. Bring water & athletic shoes.
This class will give your kids the chance to explore their own art making techniques using many different types of art supplies. Process 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, cognitive thinking, and spatial intelligence. It is also a lot of fun!
