Trains Week!

Welcome, to “Trains” week! I’m excited to see you back in class after a long holiday weekend!

Housekeeping:

The Christmas Box House service project was extended to this Friday! Please, bring in your items to class! They will be delivered to The Christmas Box House during December. Thank you, to all of you who have donated! The Christmas Box house greatly appreciates your donations!!!

Winter semester starts January 8th! There is still room in the Rock Stars 1:00, Shooting Stars 2:00, and Superstars 4:00. The Rock Stars 3:00 class is full for winter semester. Remember, The Stars offers a Refer A Friend program that earns you money toward your tuition. Some of you have already earned $10 toward your winter semester! Thank you, for spreading the word!

Star School! I will be opening up a creative arts pre-school out of my home for the 2010-11 school year. It will be offered for children 3, 4, and 5 years of age. Star School will run on Mondays and Wednesdays from 9:30-12:30 with a "Lunch Bunch" option from 12:30-1:30. All Stars currently enrolled in the Friday programs will be eligible for priority enrollment to the pre-school starting at the end of January. I will have a detailed packed ready to be handed out to those interested on Friday! I am very excited about Star School!

Trains

Rock Stars, get ready to sing about trains, move like trains, sound like trains, and play with trains! We will enjoy singing songs, like: Down By The Station and I’ve Been Workin' On The Railroad. Rock Stars, will enjoy exploring conductor hats, bells, trains, and the tunnel during exploration! Art Circle will bring us some fun train stamps and decorations to allow the Rock Stars to create a train that looks just the way they like!

Superstars, we will be taking a train ride deep into the jungle where we will creatively move like trains maneuvering through animal filled jungles. We will enjoy singing songs, like: I’ve Been Workin’ On The Railroad and the Jungle Train Song. Each Superstar will take a turn being a conductor guiding us in zig-zag, straight, and curvy pathways. Superstars, will be introduced to the famous artist, Leonardo Da Vinci, who was famous for his paintings. They will be given paper, tempera paint, and many different tools to create their own masterpiece!

Thank you, for reading the blog! I will see you, Friday!!!
