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!

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!!!
