A typical day!
The typical morning program consists of a group building activity and discussion of the work we are about to do, a "Smart Moves" exercise to get our mind and bodies focused for learning, a series of mini lessons on a technique or new concept on topic, studio time to try what we learned, eat the lunch you brought from home or purchase a lunch at one of the places in town and get some physical or mental activity. We have chess and checkers.
The afternoon begins with a group activity and "Smart Moves" exercise followed by substantial "studio time" for project work. Small group, whole group, and individualized mini tutorials and on-demand instruction are provided during this time. The studio time is designed to challenge one's thinking and skills. The day ends with a reflection period.
The half day camps will be similarly structured with alternating mini lessons and studio time for each topic.
The week will end with a showcase for families and friends. The students have worked hard in their learning adventures all week and need time to celebrate together.
Students will have the opportunity to return to Serious Fun Community Learning Center during open studio times in the fall to complete any unfinished work. Students will be given a copy of their work at the end of the week. With permission, some work may be posted on our website to be shared with our visitors.
