A glimpse of Marcie’s project based after school enrichment curriculum from this week (K-3). Learning about natural resources and making animals to gather around a waterhole, constructing homemade kites through trial and error, and turning ourselves into bugs after a rousing discussion about how ants cooperate to build bridges, tunnels, and rafts.
(Above Left) We had an invasion of red ants, pollen eating bees, and some winged creatures! (Above Right) Flying in a video game is easy….Now let’s get something homemade off the ground!
(Above) Literacy Connection: The Water Hole by Graeme Base, and some non-fiction resources. All this made in 45 minutes!
What a creative group!
Work out your gross/fine motor skills, mental dexterity, and creativity with sensory art; inspired by movement activities! Each class begins with thematic movement games, and music accompanied exercise, leading into a fun craft. Free up your artistic expression, and play with your creations!
Tuesdays @ 9am at H2K Happy Healthy Kids Fitness Studio!
Glub glub! We explored the ocean deep in Messy Munchkin Art Class with sensory bins and a fish craft. Then we swam underneath the parachute’s waves! The following week we played with magnet and sponge letters in our sensory bins, and crafted the first letters of our names into textured noodle and cereal masterpieces!
Messy Munchkins brought the North End into BabyCakes of Charlestown today!
We washed veggies, crafted spaghetti and tried not to sneeze! On Halloween, we had an icky spooky Messy Munchkin Art Class, with bins of bugs and brains. We made spider webs, built a haunted house, and read a funny halloween story.
Marcie’s after school enrichment curriculum for elementary school students balances imagination and creativity with an interdisciplinary approach to hands on, experiential, and task-based learning. Curriculum combines the boundless curiosity of children with guided investigation in the disciplines of engineering, mathematics, literacy, technology, and scientific inquiry.
Students enjoy a variety of enriching toys, crafts, books, music, and games to promote socialization, fitness, literacy, and imaginative play. Over the course of a semester, students dig deeply into themes of their choice, and develop their concentration as they become immersed in research and invention. Fun class titles include Music, Dramatic Play, Wizards & Dragons, Mind Craft, Space Robots & Disco Donuts, Stories & Games, and PLAY. Marcie currently teaches after school daily in Cambridge and Boston.
