"Spread My Good Cheer" week is a fun time to explore the symbols of this holiday season!
Housekeeping:
Semester in Review: Thank you, to all of you who participated in fall semester Rock Stars and Superstars classes! It has been a pleasure working with you and your children! Throughout this semester, we have explored weekly themes through creative movement, creative drama, visual art, and music! As a community, we were able to collect 10 Hygiene kits, 5 sweat suits, 20 pairs of underwear, 6 undershirts, 35 pairs of socks, 6 pairs of gloves, and lots of extras for The Christmas Box house, AMAZING! We raised over $200 toward the typhoon victims in the Philippines, WONDERFUL! In addition, your children participated in 14 more creative arts classes where each are celebrated as individuals and encouraged to progress at their own pace! This has been a successful semester and I look forward to many more with you and your children!
Winter semester begins January 8th! The first payment for winter semester tuition is due! If you have not already paid, please, drop a check in you folder this Friday. Rock Stars: first payment $51.75 or full semester $103.50, Superstars: first payment $54.25 or full semester $54.25.
Star School will be starting September 2010-11. To request information, please, email me and I will email you an informative description of the program and its calendar of classes.
Rock Stars: This Friday we’ll be spreading our good cheer through exploring the widely celebrated holiday, Christmas-not to forget Hanukah or Kwanzaa! We will sing songs related to Christmas, explore symbols of Christmas through creative movement, enjoy refining our hand-eye coordination with balloons to Christmas music, string our own jingle bell to shake along to Jingle Bells, decorate Santa’s beard with cotton balls, and enjoy the story: Jingle Jingle!
Superstars: We’ll be exploring the widely celebrated Christmas with vibrant colors! After creative movement, we will be spraying cotton balls with different colors of food coloring! We will allow the colorful cotton balls to dry while we string our own jingle bell to shake along to Jingle Bells. After, we will gather up our colorful cotton balls we will glue them to paper in a creative pattern of our own choice! We will also be reviewing: adagio, allegro, forte, and piano!
I look forward to seeing you on, Friday! Happy Holidays!!!

Bear Hunt
ROCK STARS
Bear Week is an inspiring week for many creative arts experiences. We will explore open shapes, heavy shapes, and closed shapes to creatively move like bears. Rock stars will engage in a creative drama activity to the famous story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears by exploring large, medium, and small bowls of porridge and creatively running away from the bear when it appears. Music Circle will bring instrumental exploration with the Boom Whackers to the tune of The Bear Went Over The Mountain. Rock Stars will get to make their own icicle ornament to hang at home and we'll end the class with a fun story called, Bear Stays Up For Christmas by: Karma Wilson and Jane Chapman.
SUPERSTARS
Wow, what a fun week we have ahead of us, Superstars! We will open up our creative movement time to the story, We’re Going on A Bear Hunt. Superstars will get to creatively move their bodies to show how they might move through thick oozy mud, a big dark forest, a swirling whirling snowstorm, or how they would run away from a grouchy bear just woken up from its sleep! During creative drama, students will get to make up actions to the poem, Big Grizzly Bear! Super stars, will play the song, The Bear Went Over The Mountain using their Boom Whackers. Superstars will be making some wet chalk drawings for their visual arts activity while listening to Johann Sebastian Bach. We will finish class by reading, Bear Stays Up For Christmas by: Karma Wilson and Jane Chapman.
Thank you, for reading! I will see you, Friday!!!
