It’s All Thing Fall this upcoming week @Family Learning Lab!
Put out the pumpkins! Jump in some leaves! We’re celebrating All Things Fall at Family Learning Lab this week!
Join us for fall themed trivia each morning at Morning Meeting for a chance to win extra Reward Coins. We’ll study Nevada in GeoQuest and take a virtual field trip to Hoover Dam on Tuesday. Tiffany’s Art Exploration Class this week will be completing two amazing projects – Tuesday will be Van Gogh inspired 3d sunflowers and Wednesday students will get to make paper mache apples. We’ve got even more Fall Fun packed into Kinder Hour and other fun activities like fall sponge painting process art, forest animal leaf craft, and a gooey Pumpkin Oobleck workshop on Thursday. And our first After School Slime Lab will be Thursday at 3pm! (After school programming is not included in regular passes and memberships, pre-booking required. ) This is a fantastic way to get your non homeschool friends into the center, too!
Friday Fun includes a Leaf Chromatography Experiment. This is a longer experiment, it will take about an hour start to finish – so we may do the walking rainbow experiment in the middle as we wait for our leaves to release their colors. Open Mic is always a hit – why not join us this week!? (We’ve even dared to dabble in some karaoke and it’s been great!)
Kids will get to use sticks to make trees in our art lab this week and use a variety of items to add leaves, like cotton balls in paint, tissue paper, or even real leaf stamping. Or elevate the project with more advanced painting techniques.
Annnnnddd…… For ALL of October Ms Emily will be running her D&D Adventure Class EVERY Friday!! Sign up for those spots asap as it has booked out every class!
For now, we’re also running popcorn and a movie Friday afternoons while we regroup to make Fridays even more awesome in the near future. On deck for the 3rd is the Peanuts Movie. Kids are welcome to come in their snuggly jammies and slippers and watch the movie with friends at 1pm!
Volunteers needed for our Fall Fun Day Saturday Oct 11th!
Do you love FamLab and want to see it succeed, grow, and serve more families? I could really use some help for our Fall Fun Day! From 10am to 2pm I’m planning on having some free crafts, sensory play, and games with prizes in our parking spaces to bring people in from the community and advertise our holiday and afternoon programs. To be honest, I’m feeling hesitant because It really needs about 5 adults to make it work, especially so we can have sign waivers on Sunrise. If you’re interested in helping for 2 hrs either 10 to noon or noon to 2 could you please reply to this email and let me know? Or text me 916-996-4115. I’m feeling shy about marketing the event until I’m confident I can pull it off. 🙂 You’re very welcome to bring your kiddos!
Family Paint Night & Moms Craft Night
We are very excited to be putting together some holiday paint nights for families and some for moms! I’m a little behind in the advertising on these, but I would LOVE to paint with more families soon! We will be doing a family paint night on October 11th and on Friday the 17th moms are invited to make Fairy House Pumpkins! (they’re so stinkin cute I seriously cannot wait!!!) Tickets for both those events should be available early this week.
FamLab Families are just the BEST!
I want to share that we have officially met all our expenses for September! This is pretty flippin fantastic considering we are BRAND NEW!! And it’s all because of YOU! We have the very best most wonderful families in our FamLab community and I’m completely overwhelmed by all the positivity, the support, the fams that get it, love it, and share it with anyone who will listen. What the what!?! I’ve been just floored by all of you and I don’t know how to express the huge love and thankfulness I feel for you all! And your kids! What! These are some amazing kiddos here! We introduced the reward store and they’re all into it – I’ve had kids mopping and sweeping, watering the flowers, dusting, helping with pricing items all to earn more coins. What a HUGE help they’ve been! I’m always so impressed by their patience, their amazing respect and they way they interact so well with each other!
That’s all for now! Hope to see you all this week… @ The Lab!! 🙂
