This is
a math enrichment course offered for children in second, third, and fourth
grade who are particularly excited about mathematical thinking. In the
course, we will create Moebius strips and hexaflexagons, explore the mysteries
of pi and i, and discover the crazy (and useful!) patterns that show up in
Pascal's Triangle and the Fibonacci Sequence. We'll also look at the
physics and math of music, finding out what fractions create the major scale. Please note this is a 6 week course.

Grades:
Early Childhood and Kindergarten
8 WEEK
COURSE

April 9 – May 28, 3:30 – 4:30 p.m.
Maximum
Enrollment: 10 students
Continued from the winter, this
class allows children to recognize their own individuality and body mobility
through imitation and imagery. We will
use fun, upbeat music to learn basic skills like hopping, skipping, jumping,
galloping, and balance coordination. Students will also engage in dramatic
music movement and learn introductory ballet steps. These include plies, tendu,
releve, arabesque, the five positions of the feet, and other introductory dance
steps. We use some props including dancing with scarves, spots on the floor to
keep their places, and allow a short time for “free dance” where the children
have the freedom to express themselves with their bodies.
