Clubs format for January-June 2011

We will be hosting a set of monthly classes/clubs for ages 9-12 on Thursday afternoon. All clubs are $10. per week/class and take place from 1-3:30PM at my home in Amherst, MA. Classes run from Jan 3rd until June 30th and will not meet from Feb 1 to Feb 25th.

First Thursday: Physics Club led by Beth Moonstone (six simple machines, heat, combustion and magnetism)
Second Thursday: History of Ancient Greece let by Kristie Valenze (there is a required book for this class)
Third Thursday: World Geography led by Jadziah Moonstone
Fourth Thursday: Book Club "classics" led by Atreyu Moonstone (so far kids have picked 20,000 Leagues under the Sea, Toms Sawyer and the Time Machine)

Clubs are largely project based learning experiences. There will be lots of experiments, games and activities each week. Homework between clubs will be reading about a topic and working on projects for the next class.

Kids can sign up for all the clubs or for a particular monthly club. We have morning French and Latin too. You can sign up for the whole day of French, Latin and the afternoon club or just for one thing. plenty of flexibility. 

We also have a morning block of classes on this day that includes French language immersion, Latin class and some social time to hang out and play. If you have questions or are interested in the clubs feel free to contact me at beth@peacefrog.org or 413.253.3100
