CAEDMON AFTERSCHOOL FALL 2010
Caedmon goes global this fall with a series of new classes that are out of this world. At the top of the list is Myachi, an ultra cool game that combines the skill and discipline of martial arts with the excitement and entertainment of action sports. You'll learn the cradle, the slingshot, and the half pipe in no time.
In keeping with the international flavor, Caedmon Afterschool offers four distinct foreign language classes. Mrs. Joanne Lo presents her native Mandarin Chinese to students in Junior and Senior Mandarin. The Junior class, for Early Program and Kindergarten students, introduces the language and culture with songs, letters, and numbers while the Senior class, for Lower Level through Upper Level, progresses from basic greetings to full sentences with the goal of becoming conversational in Mandarin. Both classes require a full year commitment.
Continuing the foreign language them are a pair of classes brought to Caedmon by Bilingual Birdies, Fun with French and Hoppin' to Hebrew. Have fun while you sing, dance, and play your way through French and Hebrew language and culture. Additional new classes this fall include Doll and Pillow Making, Tap Dancing, and Super Science, where you'll uncover the fascinating facts about plants, animals, soil, and the environment.
Another new component to the afterschool is an academic enrichment class. Lower, Middle, and Upper Level students will have the opportunity to work with a Caedmon teacher in one-on-one or small group tutoring in Math and Reading Plus. Upper Level students can also receive extra preparation in an ISEE Prep class.
Thank you,
