December 14-18, 2009
1-4pm
Each day we will focus on a different short story by a classic author that is in tune with the season. Subject areas to be covered this week are literature, poetry, history, compostion, art, art appreciation, music and possibly health and nutrition. At the end of the week, children will have a notebook to share with relatives over the holidays.
Parents do not have to stay during the class. As a matter of fact, with all the other stuff you have to do this week before Christmas, I encourage you to go and get it done. Even if you just need to go back to your house and take a bubble bath. That's fine.
Cost will be $15 per day or $60 for the week per child.
If you are a CHESS member, the cost will be $10 per day or $40 for the week per child.
Fee includes all materials and a small snack each day (please let me know of any allergies ahead of time).
Space is limited. A $10 nonrefundable deposit will be required to hold your space when you RSVP.

The Nativity Through Fine Art
I know from previous experience that when it gets close to Christmas, my enthusiasm for getting lessons in wanes. As an effort to keep things fresh, in sync with the season, and helpful to others, I am offering to take your kids ages 8 and up for a whole week and do "lessons" with them.
We will study the Nativity through the Bible and fine art. Subject areas to be covered this week are art, art appreciation, language arts (literature and composition), music, and history. We will also view segments of The Nativity Story as part of our study. At the end of the week, children will have a notebook filled with beautiful art to share with relatives over the holidays.
This class will be held at my house in Littlestown and will be from 1pm to 4pm on December 15-19, 2008.
NOTE: If there is enough interest, I will offer this class during the morning hours (9am to Noon) as well.
