FUN IN FRENCH

Fun in French is a class designed by a native French teacher. I believe that learning a foreign language should be fun even with rigorous academics, so I incorporated hands-on activities, games, role playing, dancing, and singing. Students are immersed in the French culture and learn basic introductions such as: greetings, days of the week, months, colors, and numbers. Students also learn common phrases used to order food, find the subway, ask for help...etc. Please join this amazingly FUN class Fun in French.

THE ART OF INTERACTIVE READING TO YOUR CHILD OR GRANDCHILD

We all know that reading to children is important in so many ways, but how a child is read to is also of consequence. This class teaches the art of interactive reading and didactic reading. We will discuss techniques and guidelines for how to emphasize details, make inferences, and when to ask comprehension questions. We practice the art of making personal connections as you read, and how to best reflect on the lessons in the story. This individualized class also covers what books are best at your particular child's age, and how to choose high quality reading materials that inspire imagination and critical thinking skills.

THE MUSIC OF YESTERYEAR

We are very fortunate to have this fabulous hidden treasure in our own backyard. Please don't miss this opportunity to listen to this incredible collection of period music machines. The Nix Collection of automated musical instruments began in 1983 with Frank and Shirley Nix's purchase of a few antique music boxes. It grew much larger with the addition of merry-go-rounds, dance hall organs, and nickelodeons. Another building on the property houses the larger instruments. Mr. Nix guides us on his musical journey by playing these instruments as well as fascinating us with stories of his collection. *All proceeds are donated to St.
