  • Be Well Movement: How Does My Body Work

    How does the heart pump blood in our bodies? Through creative movement, dance, and yoga students explore the design and function of the skeletal, muscular, circulatory, and respiratory systems. Classes consider how these systems work individually and together to make our bodies work. They learn the importance of healthy eating and exercise and how to care for their bodies.

  • Bookmaking

    Bookmaking has the power to motivate even the most reluctant readers and writers. It increases their self-esteem as well as their ability to organize and apply their thoughts. Watch your students explore various ways that images and texts make a story come alive. These young artists fold, cut, measure, align and paste their colorful literary texts to create accordion and pop-up books.

    * This program makes a connection to the curriculum in Social Studies and Literacy.

  • Circus Arts

    Can you juggle or spin a plate? This fun residency brings to life techniques of clowning and physical comedy. It promotes physical education, gross motor skills and improved hand/eye coordination as well as skills such as tumbling, comedy and improvisation. Students learn the different types of clown character (bossy clown, sad clown, silly clown) and develop their own individual clown characters. The program promotes freedom of expression and creativity. Families and students laugh with delight at the excitement and enthusiasm of the clowns at the final performance.
