Explanation of Classroom Activities

All classroom sessions will include “circle time”… which involves- calendar, music, pledge of allegiance, letter of the week & story time each day.  

All activities are thematic based & the weekly themes are listed on all monthly activity calendars. 

We prepare only enough materials for the number of children registered for each class, & for this reason… ALL materials (crafts, papers, etc.) are for registered SPARK students only, not for siblings --- older or younger. 

• Story Time & Art: we provide 2 – 3 stories, at least one craft, and will also include circle time, and music & movement.
  
  
• Cooking with Kids: Creative cooking activities based on our thematic units. Following directions, labeling ingredients, enhancing receptive language skills, which in turn, leads to language development. 

• Arts & Crafts: our emphasis is more on crafts, and we will provide at least 2 arts & crafts projects, and will include circle and music & movement.

• Messy Fun: we provide a craft project that is usually more ‘messy’ or more involved, and will include circle and music & movement.
  
  
• Motor Lab: All about gross motor skills on these days. Activities to include music and movement, parachute, (in class) bowling, bean bag toss, scooter boards, hop scotch, relay events, & seasonal activities.
