3-month enrichment classes were such a hit this fall that we're doubling down for a winter session! The popular Art Studio and Music Studio (Percussion Ensemble) classes are returning and we're adding Publishing Studio with Ms. Popp, Robotics Studio with Mr. Mason and Open Gym with Mr. P and Ms. Sullivan.

All six classes will encourage students to explore their favorite classes beyond the classroom. They'll play new games, try new art supplies and broaden their musical horizons. All of the teachers are Tuscan staff teachers.

Tuition will be $200 and scholarships are available.

Classes will begin January 9, 2017. Students in grades 3, 4 and 5 are eligible.

Registration closes Monday 12/26 and lotteries will be conducted for classes that are over-subscribed. The registration form allows for selecting your class preferences and commenting about them. We try our best to accommodate all requests!!!

NEW! Open Gym - Mondays

Mr. P and Ms. Sullivan’s Open Gym will let kids climb the rock wall, play games with the giant, 48” Omnikin ball and other fun, new experiences that they can’t always do in PE class. We’ll play games you’ve never tried before and learn about sports and games from around the world. This new class makes it fun to get moving! Capacity 20 students.

NEW! Robotics Studio - Fridays

Using LEGO Mindstorms EV3 kits we will work in teams to design, build and program our robots to complete tasks and race against the clock. We’ll use our robots to calculate angles and trajectories, plan several steps ahead and work cooperatively to accomplish a common goal. Each student will have an opportunity to lead their team to victory. Capacity 12 students.

Art Studio - Mondays and Wednesdays

Mr. Dean’s Art Studio class enhances kids’ art education by offering access to supplies, media and methods they might not have time to explore in art class. Always wanted to try a new medium? This is your chance! Every Art Studio session creates a collaborative project that beautifies Tuscan School. Capacity 24 students per class, with two classes offered.

NEW! Publishing Studio - Mondays

Ms. Popp will lead this exciting new class designed to bring students’ book ideas to fruition. This small, 10-student publishing workshop will guide students through concept, writing, editing, illustration and publishing their own books. The finished books will be printed, with one copy sent home and others donated to the Tuscan School library and the Maplewood Memorial Library, where they will can be checked out from the "Local Authors" section. Capacity 10 students.

Music Studio - Wednesdays

Ms. Van Tine is growing this amazing percussion ensemble this winter. Students will learn to play the drums, bells and other percussion instruments and will perform at an assembly for the whole school. We’ll learn how people play the drums around the world. Can you feel the rhythm? Capacity 24 students.

Note that these popular classes will likely be oversold. As always, we will hold a random lottery to select the participants. Registration will be restricted to one class per student. If availability exists for a second class, we will offer them whenever possible. Registration will start in December. Attendance is optional and there will be no makeup days. If school is canceled or a teacher is unavailable (and a substitute can't be provided) class will be canceled.
