The Art of Public Speaking
In the “Art of Public Speaking” fall workshop we utilized a unique approach to the fundamentals of verbal communication. Among other things, the children learned to “take the stage, take the audience and speak with confidence” through simple and engaging techniques designed to improve their natural speaking abilities. We concluded the four-week series with a presentation for parents and friends.
Bangladesh Workshop
We had a great time learning about the people and culture of Bangladesh, and finished the session off by learning how to cook chicken curry. It was a fabulous way to talk about how people live, learn, and work in Bangladesh and sharing an authentic lunch together rounded off the morning nicely.
Games of the World
We enjoyed a morning of hands-on history learning about games from several different continents and share interesting facts about the people and cultures that originated them. We learned about the history of the games and spent some time playing bocce, cricket, and hanetsuki.
Gardening Day!
One of our members was nice enough to invite us to her home for a day of gardening. We enjoyed learning about all the fruits and vegetables growing in her garden, and the kids each created their own terrariums to take home.
