*All classes are new or building on previous materials with the exception of Super Science.

PRESCHOOL

Pre-K Friends is geared toward 3-4 year olds. We will work on speaking and listening skills through a daily circle time using songs, calendar time, sharing, story time, and mindfulness and movement flows. We will work on community building through structured play activities and team building games such as learning play, fine motor and pre-writing skill building activities, and counting collections. Our themes will be both seasonal and geared toward a literary connection. Learning will be active and hands on for students to get a whole body approach to learning. I have a joy and passion for making learning fun, books come to life, and a dream of building that village that we all want for our children to thrive in!

Teacher: Austin Walker

2 Periods, Full Year Tuition & Fees: $510.00

Student supplies: glue stick, crayons, notebook.

EARLY EDUCATION

​​

Intro to Dance, 1st - 4th:  Interested in dance classes, but not ready to commit to a studio and exorbitant fees? Want an active outlet for your child during the day at Village? Do you have a child that just LOVES to move and dance? I danced ballet 15 years and absolutely love the art of dance. Having a child that needed physical therapy and seeing the importance of balance, flexibility, and movement in a directed space has opened my eyes to the need for accessible spaces for children to feel empowered to learn how to move their bodies through space. We will dance and be silly, we will learn how to stretch and build strength and flexibility safely. We will learn Ballet terms, positions, and how to flow through movements to song. We will also learn a little of the history of dance and ballet. The goal will be to perform a dance for the end of the year showcase.

Teacher: Austin Walker

Full Year Tuition & Fees: $300

Student supplies: Coming Soon!

​

Early Learning Playhouse K-2nd:  In Early Learning Playhouse, students will learn through an environment of play and themed units (i.e. pumpkins in October, turkeys in November, snowflakes in December, etc.). Each week we will engage in community activities such as calendar and circle time including songs, counting, phonics, and connecting with classmates. Students will participate in activities that include read-alouds and activities coinciding with age appropriate skills in math, reading/language, and social emotional learning, as well as fine motor and practical life with Montessori style learning integrated throughout. 

Teacher: Jennifer Squance

Full Year Tuition & Fees: $300

Student supplies: Crayons, glue stick, scissors, pencil, school box or pencil pouch to hold supplies

FIBER ART & FINE ARTS

​

Fiber Arts 6th-12th: In this handwork class, students will learn many foundational skills for various fiber arts. Students will have the opportunity to learn hand sewing, knitting, and crochet. We dive deep into each area so students can learn perseverance through each project and joy when a project is completed. Handwork encourages students to cross the midline of their bodies and visualize the steps to complete a project. This strengthens neuropathways, reinforces math skills, and provides opportunities for light meditation or an “out breath” in the school day. Students are encouraged to use their creativity, while we all might make the same project, each student’s work will be different from their neighbor’s.

Teacher: Katie Filer

Full Year Tuition & Fees: $320

​

Fiber Arts 3rd-5th: In this handwork class, students will learn and build on skills for various fiber arts. Students will have the opportunity to learn crochet, spinning, weaving, and embroidery. In 3rd through 5th students are encouraged to challenge themselves, while still being provided plenty of support. The first segment of the year delves into ‘the how’; how something goes from raw materials to a useful or decorative object. Crochet continues to build onto and reinforce math skills while spinning and weaving teach students to slow their bodies and keep their focus on the yarn they are building and using. Embroidery begins our dive into color design, and how the use of colors can alter the visual representation of objects. Students are encouraged to use their creativity, while we all might have the same instructions, each student’s work will be different from their neighbor’s.

Cooking: A Taste of History, 6th-12thFood is an integral part of human history, serving as both sustenance and a symbol of culture, trade and power. From the earliest days of hunter-gatherers to modern-day globalization, what people eat has influenced the course of history. Recipes we study will made students realize there is much more than just eating the food we eat every day. For example, a pancake is just a pancake, correct? Well, yes. But, did you know that it dates back 70,000 years? Who came up with the idea of pancakes, and WHY? Some of our stories in history concerning food is funny while some are just plain weird. Either way, we can learn the history behind some of our favorite foods.In addition to learning the amazing history behind our recipes, students will also learn some basic techniques:

Our Place in the World, 3rd-5th: In this Social Sciences class we will study impactful people and how they found their places in the world. We will learn about where they lived, their challenges and achievements, and how their lives were shaped. We will view the world through their lenses with projects focused on their field of study including communication, earth sciences, and architecture. Through the year, the students will be encouraged to start understanding their own places in the world. We will cover such trailblazers as Wangari Maathai, Jane Goodall, Charles Henry Turner, Mary Anning, and Zaha Hadid. A few examples of the activities that could accompany our lessons are: planting herbs to make into tea, participating in a “chimpanzee tool challenge”, studying insect anatomy and building ant mazes, using a rock cycle mat material to see an in depth look at how rocks are formed, or designing and creating a building or bridge. This enrichment class would suit 3rd-5th graders who can sit respectfully for a book reading, have general reading and writing skills, and are curious about the world they live in. This class will move fairly quickly, while covering quite a bit of material, so ability to be respectful to classmates and teacher is necessary.
