February 7: Moon Motions


Your tiny cosmonaut will suit up to take a walk on the Moon using movement and imagination to explore the moons unique surface. We will learn what makes our moon shine and its different phases with Moon Jumps. 

February 14: Sunny Days


Find out why Mr. Sun rises and sets as we celebrate his return each morning and appreciate his retirement each night. We will also meet a very curious bear who will lead us to explore how shadows are made. 

February 21: Solar System


Learn about the planets and their relationship to the sun as we recreate our solar system with our bodies and motion. We will compare the size and colors of the planets and learn their order in the solar system through hands-on activities. 

February 28: Starry Nights


What are those twinkly lights in the night sky? We will each create our own night sky as we discover what a star is and how stars makeup the constellations. We will work together to create our own glowing constellation.

Choose Art, Science or both!

Art: This three-day class will be filled with all the joys of spring.  Each day students will take on a new investigation.  Day one will be inspired by the return of our feathered friends and students will learn to depict birds through sculpture.  Day two they can enjoy the spring season outdoors and bring out the colors of spring through creating sidewalk art. Day three they will use watercolor to investigate a spring themed still life. They will use their creativity to express themselves and will be exposed to ideas of public art, sculpture and composition.
