Enrichment Classes with Space
Creative Drama
Come join us for improv, drama games, songs and fun! Students will learn basic acting techniques: how to use their bodies, voices, sounds and mimicking! We will finish with an informal sharing for parents and guardians.
Outdoor Wilderness Spring Term
Welcome to spring quarter at Outdoor Wilderness. Spring quarter is focused on developing skills that will help with camping or hiking trips you have planned with the family- navigation, what to do if you get lost, and how to survive the wild. As the weather can still be fickle, we'll practice good outdoor living skills to stay warm and dry- some days in our lavvu- a Scandinavian tipi- and some days in shelters we build ourselves.
Topics we’ll be covering this quarter include: animal tracking & identification, leave no trace wilderness ethics, rope-making, and of course lots and lots of games and fun activities! Every quarter we do different activities, so whether this is your first quarter with us or your 5th, we’ll all be outside having fun together!
*If anyone needs assistance with warm/weatherproof clothes, Seattle Adventure Sports does have loaners- please ask!*
Kitchen Explorers Cooking
Baking with Kitchen Explorers: Your young chefs will learn kitchen etiquette and safety as they bake everything from muffins to flat breads, mini pies to focaccia. Along with the math and logic skills that they will gain as they learn to parse a recipe, we will also peer into the science behind baking. Join us this Spring for fun and educational classes in the kitchen!
Multicultural World Art
We will explore different cultures through arts and crafts. The goal for this class is to learn about different traditions, expose children to new perspectives, provoke discussion*, and create an environment to reflect and celebrate our diversity in Seattle. (*Different religions, or non-religion, might come up in discussions but I do not promote any religion or favor any culture or ethnicity.)
Spring Spanish
Sign up for Spring Session of exciting Sponge Classes, Language Champs! We went on a learning spree and acquired essential language-learning strategies in our “Let’s make soup!” and “Where's My House Key” units! Join us as we broaden our understanding of language and culture with a new unit theme “Let’s take a trip to a beach!” Since the curriculum is theme based, we welcome both new students and continuing students!
At Sponge, we see language as a passport to global citizenship. Students will learn to see the world through a different lens while acquiring language skills and the confidence to use them. Sponge classes are immersion based, and taught by a native speaker using games, art, songs, stories, drama and movement to help children build language skills! We believe the best way to learn a language is to be immersed in it and having fun!
