Immanuel School offers summer enrichment classes
Immanuel Lutheran School in Batavia is offering Summer Enrichment classes for the first time beginning June 13 and 15. Additional sessions are scheduled for July 11 and 13 and July 25 and 27. The sessions will be 9 to 11:30 a.m.
Students may attend one, all, or any combination of classes for their age group. The per diem per child is $35, discounted for all six days to $200.
Children may also stay for an additional 45 minutes (11:30 to 12:15 p.m.) each class day for Lunch Buddies ($5 additional per day). Lunch Buddies is a great way to end the morning with informal fun and fellowship. Students bring a sack lunch for Lunch Buddies and are supervised by Summer Enrichment teachers.
• ABCs and 123s for ages 3-4 (potty trained): Led by early childhood educator Wendy Nelson, it offers playing, learning, singing, and exploring. With fun, themed activities, preschoolers will strengthen their number and letter awareness. With songs and story time, they will practice listening skills, focusing, and retention. They will be learning how to socialize in a group and become more familiar with a classroom setting, and sharing that space with friends. They will also enjoy a snack and some large motor play.
• Lit Lab for entering kindergarten to second grade: It will be led by Immanuel's fifth-grade teacher Penny Suydam (2016 LEA Outstanding Elementary Teacher). Reading gets a little messy as children make connections between picture books and scientific concepts. There will be lots of reading and lots of hands-on science. Want to know what it's like to be an architect, inventor, or weather forecaster? Join Mrs. Suydam this summer and find out! The children will do some digging and building, some cloud-watching, and more.
• Trip Around The World for those entering third or fourth grades: It will be led by Immanuel's fourth-grade teacher Bill Moser, an ILS Class of 2006 alumnus. Children will explore cultures around the world through books, music, food, art, and special projects. They will begin each class by reading age appropriate children's literature from the focus country and discussing the things that they notice are different from life in the U.S. Video and audio highlighting the culture's language, traditions, music, and food will also be explored; followed by a wrap-up activity such as learning a dance, composing a song, creating a work of art, or sampling some of the culture's traditional cuisine.
