In this class, our goal is to prepare the children to enter the scholar program. We ask that you consider if your child is able to do a couple of things: Is he or she willing to read/listen to monthly books outside of class time, and willing and able to practice in-class writing activities to build writing competency skills? If so, we are excited for them to be in this class with us!!

This will be a class to unwind and do a simple craft while listening to an Audio-book. We will be following the Usborne art book for craft ideas that can be adapted for skill level. The children will have the option to go play on the playground, or come in after playing outside. For kids who signed up and didn’t make the craft, I’m happy to put together a bag of supplies for them to take their craft home.
