This is offered to parents that are teaching, primarily, and families who have other children in the older grades. The focus is basically playtime. There may be story times, games, and snacks. 

We will be learning together about weather. We will use some fun and simple experiments that will help the students discover the way the weather works. No curriculum purchase is necessary for this class. All materials will be provided.

The Music Appreciation class will use the SQUILT (Super Quiet Uninterrupted Listening Time) curriculum to explore the different orchestra instruments, various composers and select musical pieces. We will focus on Baroque era music as we go through the year. Class time will be spent listening to music, note booking (the ability to write is not required) and playing games. Additionally, some class time will include using simple percussion instruments to explore the concepts of rhythm, tempo, dynamics, etc.

With the exception of a pen or pencil, there are no materials required for this class. 

Immersion-style Spanish class. Children will learn new words and phrases through songs, stories, and craft activities in Spanish. Immersion-style classes are great for learners at all skill levels, allowing advanced students to hear full conversation and read-aloud stories while enabling beginning students to learn from the ground up through context, pictures, songs, and activities. No prior Spanish exposure is necessary but great if your child does have some!

This class may be more suitable for K-4th grades, but 5th & 6th graders are welcome to give it a try if they have an interest in learning Spanish.

The book club will read two books this year. Each student will be required to read, or have listened to the chapters for each class at home. At co-op, we will engage with the story through hands-on activities, cooperative learning activities, and cross-curriculum connections.
