As part of our curriculum, each program participates in several enrichment activities. All
specials meet several times per week. Whether or not your child participates in a particular

| PHYSICAL FITNESS |
Our Fitness program, taught by Mr. Rob Agnoli, is
designed to offer children an opportunity to develop their
large muscles as well as introduce them to basic
sportsmanship skills. This is achieved through a variety of
group games and other fun, strength-building activities that
will help develop skills such as skipping, hopping, jumping,
and throwing. Yoga and stretching activities will also make
up a part of our fitness program. Good sportsmanship is
always encouraged through a positive attitude and team
approach. The gym program is held twice a week.

many new songs in a very hands-on setting. Teachers will
also be using rhythm instruments and CDs to introduce
children to basic beats and rhythms. Movement activities
such as marching, dancing and dramatic interpretation are
also part of the music program.

| COOKING |
Students will develop language and math skills during their
classroom cooking time. Children will have an opportunity
to make basic "kid-friendly" items while learning many
essential skills, which will include developing fine motor
skills. Age-appropriate cooking activities will correlate
with the current theme of each classroom and will include
a story relative to the theme of the week as well. Food
allergies are taken into consideration and modifications will
be made! Children love this hands-on learning experience
and look forward to the many fun recipes they will be
making!

library session where they will be allowed to take home a
book from their classroom library. Books must be
returned each week in order for children to check out
another book. This opportunity allows children to learn
how to be responsible and care for books.
