From language immersion, to cooking, to learning how to sew like a professional, Peregrine School brings a full winter menu of enrichment classes for the K-6 crowd.
Youth enrichment classes provide opportunities for young people to learn new skills, explore their special interests, and develop their talents. These classes can help students improve their academic performance, build confidence, and develop social skills with a group of like-minded classmates.
- Spanish beginners: Our beginning Spanish class assumes no prior knowledge of Spanish. The class will introduce basic vocabulary utilizing songs to create an engaging classroom experience.
- Intermediate Spanish: The class will introduce vocabulary in an ongoing manner to improve the student’s lexicon. As students progress, the focus of the class will shift from vocabulary building to conversational Spanish.
- Chess I: For students who are younger or who have no previous experience in chess. Students learn the rules of chess, the geometry of the chessboard, and how to checkmate.
- Chess II: For students who are older or who are already capable chess players. Students at this level study tactics, solve chess problems, and may have an interest in chess tournaments.
- Kids in the Kitchen: Each week we will taste ingredients, learn some of the science behind cooking (and do some experiments) and cook up a recipe together.
- Beginner’s sewing: Sewing is an important life skill that blends creativity, practicality, patience, and fun. Students in this class will leave with new knowledge, confidence, and a few fun items that they made themselves.
- Texture in art: A hands-on art class where young artists explore the tactile side of art! Using materials like paper mâché, colorful tissue paper, textured paint, and more, kids will create unique masterpieces while learning about the beauty and variety of textures in art.
- STEM Discovery LEGOs: Build engineer-designed projects as you discover the world around us through our inquiry-based learning model. Class is run independently by trained Play-Well instructors.
- Ceramics: Learn basic clay hand building techniques, and build on our skills each week. The goal of this class will vary by person, age, and experience level. By the end of the class, every child should have basic skills such as how to join clay and make and use pinch pots.
- Pathfinder: Explore magical worlds, solve mysteries, and work together in a teacher-run game of Pathfinder, a tabletop role playing game. Kids will create a unique character, make decisions that shape the story, and use teamwork and creativity to solve challenges.
Winter session runs January 21—March 19. Registration is open until the first day of classes. Head to Peregrineschool.org/classes to sign up.
