Enrichment Classes

Cooking

  • Students will have the opportunity to bridge the gap from farm to table. Students will learn about where our food comes from and the process that goes into getting it to our grocery stores and homes.

    Every class, students will be invited to prepare and cook a vegetable and will either assemble or cook a snack in class (and be invited to eat it!).

    Students will learn how to use cooking tools, create their own personal healthy snacks and then share what they have learned with their family.

    (No nuts, eggs or meat will be included as ingredients for this class).

  • Monday

    • 2:15 -3:15 pm for grades TK and K

    • 3:30-4:30 pm for grades 1-5

Ceramics

  • Students will create both functional and non-functional art pieces with water clay. In a seven-week session, kids will complete multiple works of art! Students will be working with water clay that is then fired in a kiln at least once up to 1960 degrees, sometimes twice if glazing!

  • Tuesday

    • 2:15 -3:15 pm for grades TK and K

    • 3:30-4:30 pm for grades 1-5

Digital Art

  • Students will discover & grow digital art skills through multiple programs.

Spanish

  • Students will get a lot of pride in learning how to read and write in Spanish. Our classes are upbeat and fun, and this one has an academic component to promote a strong language acquisition.

  • Thursdays

Art

  • Students will learn basic drawing skills, such as construction, contour and shading. Projects are designed to help increase fine motor skills. Some masters and/or California artists will be introduced to stimulate creativity in their own works of art, so that instead of copying a masterpiece, kids will seek out their own concepts and arrangements based on a particular artist or art movement.

    • 3:30-4:30 pm for grades 1-5
