Cheer and Dance
Grades 5 - 6
Cheer and Dance will introduce a variety of dance techniques and genres such
as Ballet, Jazz, and Cheer Pom. Every class will begin with a stretching and
core-strengthening warmup set to high energy music. Warmups will carry over
into learning fun and age appropriate choreography that will help students build
performance skills and confidence while also improving coordination, strength,
and flexibility. Athletic shoes are required.
Code Academy: Microchip Programming Workshop
Grades 6 – 8
This course teaches students to use Python programming to manipulate the
BBC’s Micro Bit, a tiny computer chip with a lot of capabilities. Students will
program their micro bit to act as a name tag, display messages and built-in
images, display custom pixel art and animation, and respond to button and
accelerometer input. The final project is an interactive LED game that tests
reaction time, and runs on student code and an attached AA battery. This is an
excellent introduction for new coders and the opportunity to test skills with a
unique new device for those with experience!
Communication Skills
Grades 5 – 8
This class will help students learn to communicate, solve problems and make
good decisions, empowering them to interact with others. Students will
engage in activities, fun videos, role-playing games, and hands-on projects.
The focus will be on conversation skills, reading body language, and being
flexible thinkers.
