Enrichment Class Choices*

Cooking with Mrs. B

Mrs. B's cooking class is not only fun, but teaches important skills for your child. The act of following a recipe can encourage self-direction and independence, while also teaching children to follow directions and use thinking skills to problem solve. Chopping, squeezing, spreading and mixing are all cooking skills that help develop a child's small muscle control and eye-hand coordination. Cooking inspires children's curiosity while offering new opportunities to make predictions and observations. Additionally, cooking offers authentic opportunities for students to understand and apply their knowledge of measuring, one-to-one correspondence, numbers and counting. As they follow a recipe, children organize ingredients, follow a sequence, and carry out multiple directions. Every day the students will learn new cooking techniques and how to follow simple recipes. Materials fee $40

Art with Ms. Huerta

This exciting mixed media art class will allow students to use various materials and techniques to explore their creativity while learning about the processes that go into each activity. Students will use their imaginations, experiences, talents, skills and the fundamentals of art to create their own organic and original pieces. From painting to ceramics to creating paper lanterns, students will create and personalize individual pieces to take home and share with loved ones. Material fee $15.
