• Read, Play, Eat, Repeat (Ages 3-5) - This course will be centered on a different story theme
each week. Each week students will make simple foods and play group games/crafts/songs
based on the theme of each week. There will be a large emphasis on group games/interaction
and gross motor skills in this course. Instructor: Jenny Jenkins Recommended Donation of $10
per weekly session

• I’ve Got the Whole World in My Hands (Ages 3-5) This course will use storybooks, pretend
play and group interaction to show your children the world and teach them introductory mapping
skills without ever leaving Tucson. Each course will start with a storybook about our destination.
Next, we will always board our plane, sometimes stamping our pretend passport, to travel to our
destination. Traveling to our destination will provide a platform to reinforce mapping skills. Once
we “land” we will do what all kids around the world want to do- we will play! Depending on our
destination this may involve playing popular games that originated from each place and/or doing
other types of activities such as crafts or cooking. As much as possible- an emphasis will be
placed on group interaction and games. This course will also require homework each week.
Each week an email will be sent to all parents containing items that need to be cut out and
pasted into each child’s “travel journal.” This will not only serve as a beautiful portfolio at the end
of the year and reinforce what they saw/heard in this course, but it will also provide a platform to
practice fine motor skills. Instructor: Jenny Jenkins Recommended Donation of $10 per weekly
session
