If you’re using vouchers, please put your requests in asap and check your charter’s deadlines.

Homeschooler’s Valentine’s Day Party is February 13th from 1:30pm to 3:30pm. $5 per child or free if you currently have an active All Class Bundle or Kinder Hour. 

We have a fundraiser to level up our GLOW ROOM. We are trying to raise $225 to add glow curtains and black lights to our room and get our base supplies of glow paint. If you’d like to help out (and get free tix for our first Family Glow Paint night,) Here’s the link: https://givebutter.com/9q8L9a Thank you!!!

Come on a day pass to experience every class on the schedule for the day ($10/$6) 

• Social Studies Discovery Labs – Grades 1 and 5
• TWO Reading Labs now – one for oral reading in a group and the other for reading comprehension & sharing
• Monday Crafternoons – come craft with friends, grownups too!
• Lego Masters – try your hand at a variety of lego challenges (with plenty of STEM learning behind the scenes.)
• Jr. Science – themed science activities after Kinder Hour
• Cardboard Creators – build a variety of really cool projects using cardboard, it’s STEAM all the way
• Math Study Labs Mondays and Wednesdays – support independent study for some focused math work time, grades 1 thru 5
• Wacky Writers now has a second class – nonfiction writing (but still just as wacky) resistant writers become instant writing fans!
• GeoQuest – State lapbooks. Kids will get time to work on a state lapbook project (4th graders can work on CA!) Join anytime, do as many as you like.
• Art Discovery Lab – Now includes an art tutoring element. Ms Tiffany will be leading all students through a base art project. Fast finishers can move on to other things while students with an interest in taking their art further will get personal help, suggestions, and ideas from our professional artist.
• Jr. Entrepreneur – have a kiddo who wants to learn some real business skill and sell an actual product or service? We’ll lead kids through real business steps and strategies and end the year with a Maker’s Market. Join anytime, but we recommend hitting as many classes as possible.
• Clay Creators – come experiment with no-kiln clays as we work through a variety of projects. Taught by an incredibly talented teen volunteer – your kids are gonna LOVE this!
• Note: Our Kinder Art, Wednesday Afterschool Craft, and Friday Guided Art will typically all be the same weekly themed project, just differentiated for the group.
