These goals include personal goals that the child wishes to reach and goals that the teacher sets to keep the child progressing in their education. During this time, the children will engage in activities that will foster self esteem and self reflection. Through games, puppet shows, and plays the children will build upon their emotional and social skills. The teacher also reviews what we learned the previous day and what we will be learning that day. T.V Studio: Despite the name, T.V. studio is geared towards teaching children that T.V. can be deceptive. By making our own commercials, television shows, advertisements, and news children learn not to believe everything they see on television. The children use a cross-subject curriculum during this time. By writing their own scripts, making their own backdrops, acting out the scenarios, creating costumes, and directing the children are able to use math, science, writing, reading, and interpersonal skills. Because television is a major influence on our children’s lives we want to teach them at a young age that you cannot believe everything you see and hear about. 2 Fitness Club: During Fitness Club, we teach the children about their bodies, their minds, and their individual personalities. Through games, modeling, activities, songs, and scenarios we show them how to accept everyone differences including our own. This class is also geared towards developing healthy bodies and a healthy self-esteem. Each week the children learn about a different organ or body part’s function and how to keep it healthy and safe. The class is hands on and often connects to the computer programs that the children are in. Computer Programs: This will be the biggest part of your child’s curriculum here at C3 Cyber Club. Through their personal laptops the children will engage in writing exercises, math games, and reading prompts to name a few. They will also learn about Microsoft applications, basic computer functions, and how to use the internet. In today’s schools teachers are asking more and more from their students when it comes to technology. Whether it is taking a test on the computer, creating a PowerPoint, writing an essay, or doing research our students will be able to perform above and beyond their teacher’s expectations. By preparing children for technology at a young age they will not only be better prepared for their adult coursework but they will also be able to understand the technology that they use on a daily basis at a deeper level. Arts & Designs Classes: This is more than Arts and Crafts. This 30 minute segment will be time for your children to apply math skills to everyday problems. We will have the children practice with rulers, paints, numbers, pencils, watercolors, and much more.
