"Away with Books"Morning Session: 9:00-10:00 (0 spots available)
Afternoon Session: 1:00-2:00 (5 spots available) Ages: 3-6 years old Group Size: 8 children |
Books are a natural, engaging way to provide children with ample opportunities to use and understand language concepts. In our "Away with Books" group session, your child will be immersed in language as they interact with a different book each week.
Throughout the 8 week group session, your child will be presented with "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" by Eric Carle, "I Ain't Gonna Paint No More" by Karen Beaumont, "If You Give a Pig a Party" by Laura Numeroff , "Who Took the Cookies from the Cookie Jar" by Bonnie Lass, "There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed Some Books" by Lucille Colandro, "Pete the Cat: At the Beach" by James Dean, "Mrs Wishy- Washy's Farm" by Joy Cowley, and "Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed" by Eileen Christelow. We have adapted each book using objects and pictures to increase comprehension of the concepts within the story. We will utilize music and movement, play, and interactive language groups to expand on the weekly skills. Children will take on different roles from the book to increase their understanding of the concepts. Skills such as positional concepts, vocabulary, making associations, increasing use of spontaneous language, increasing the length and complexity of their language, answering questions, asking questions, expanding on language using descriptive words, verbal turn-taking, and responding to peers using age-appropriate language will be targeted (lessons are created based on the needs of the group). |

"Fun with Fine Motor" will provide opportunities for your child
to develop and enhance their fine motor skills using concepts from Handwriting
Without Tears. Handwriting Without Tears is a curriculum that uses a
multi-sensory approach to teaching handwriting beginning with foundational fine
motor skills, working up to letter formation.
Each week, your child will participate in fun, engaging activities that will address a variety of fine motor skills. The fine motor skills targeted provide the foundation required for handwriting. Because every child has varying levels of fine motor abilities and areas of growth, activities will be modified to meet each individual child’s need. Sessions will include fine motor games and crafts, finger play songs, Handwriting Without Tears vocabulary and concepts related to early letter formation. Skills targeted will include strengthening, bi-lateral coordination, crossing mid-line, hand dominance, fine motor control and precision, scissor skills, introduction to letter formation, crayon/pencil grasp and fine motor manipulation. |

Afternoon Session: 3:30-4:30 (0 spots available) Ages: 4-7 years old Group Size: 8 children |
Your child will become a "social thinker" by participating in the "The Incredible Flexible You" curriculum from Social Thinking. The curriculum utilizes music, interactive story books, and play activities. Each week, the children will go on a new adventure with four characters, Evan, Ellie, Jesse, and Molly. The facilitators will role-play with the children using the concepts of the story using interactive activities, visuals, and play opportunities.
Activities will focus on teaching your child Social Thinking concepts and vocabulary: Thinking Thoughts and Feeling Feelings, The Group Plan, Thinking With Your Eyes, Body in the Group, and Whole Body Listening. Each week, your child will come home with a visual that helps carry-over the skill learned in the group. You'll learn the language to help your child generalize the skills during interactions with others. This class is ideal for children entering kindergarten, who are in first grade, and, especially those children that need that "extra" boost to their social interactions skills. |
