Christmas Classic Short Stories

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.

Possible authors
Louisa May Alcott
Leo Tolstoy
O Henry
Laura Ingalls Wilder
Robert Frost

Participants will be asked to take turns bringing a snack to share.
