ART: Your donations will support new materials and tools!
In the art studio, we create space for the children to experiment with different mediums and methods of creating visual art alongside studying Art History. Students work in drawing, painting, sculpture, craft, and mixed media art centers to explore a variety of materials within each one. Through this exposure, the students not only learn about the elements of art and design but are able to identify mediums and practices that speak to them individually.
GARDENING: Your donations will support new plants and the materials for more activities throughout the year!
The gardening curriculum is designed to connect students with nature, help students build healthy relationships with food, and encourage bravery and curiosity. In the garden, students participate in hands-on outdoor activities, try new foods and connect what they learn in the classroom to real-world examples.
LIBRARY: Your donations will support our new library space with more books and welcoming touches!
The Library Special provides an exciting opportunity for children to engage with literature in an informative and recreational capacity. The students learn how to use various print and non-print resources to research particular subjects, find books of interest, as well as learn how to check out and return books.
MUSIC: Your donations will support new instruments!
The Music Special offers our students hands-on exploration of rhythm, pitch, melody, timbre, texture, form, and genre. The children learn through age-appropriate songs, games, body rhythms, and instruments while integrating languages and cultures from around the world. This class cultivates creative self-expression, self-actualization, coordination, focus, camaraderie, and teamwork.
