US Grade Kindergarten - 3
Beginner Level
Step into the enchanting world of Crafty Tales: Crafting through Literacy, a multi-week adventure tailored for your young learner! Immerse your child in the magical fusion of storytelling and artistic wonders that not only enhances essential reading skills but also introduces them to the joy of independent exploration in crafting.

In this engaging class, we'll embark on a literary journey through a variety of children's books, diving deep into reading skills such as predictions, summarization, story elements, sequencing, and more! Our class is designed to make learning a joyous and interactive experience.

The heart of our class lies in immersive storytelling sessions, lively discussions about characters and story elements, and hands-on crafting fun. As we read our chosen story each week, your child will not only build essential reading skills but also discover the thrill of creating delightful crafts inspired by the books. This isn't just a class; it's a delightful journey where literary adventures come to life through artistic expressions!

Beyond the joy of reading and crafting, Crafty Tales aims to foster independence in your child. They'll have the chance to try new things, gain confidence in their artistic abilities, and develop basic crafting skills that will serve them well into the future.

This class has a laid-back but engaging teaching style, encouraging learners to freely share their opinions and ideas. Your child will feel comfortable expressing themselves, making the class not just educational but also a space for personal growth.

Encourage your little one to share their favorite stories, characters, and craft preferences with their newfound friends in the class. We believe in creating a warm and supportive environment where children not only learn but also grow and connect. All the necessary crafting materials for our artistic adventures will be shared a week in advance, allowing you and your child to join the fun together. If you're excited about a unique blend of children's literature, hands-on crafting exploration, the opportunity for your child to become more independent, and a laid-back and engaging teaching style, join us on a journey filled with stories, creativity, and shared learning experiences!

Parental Guidance
In Crafty Tales: Crafting through Literacy, we encourage parents to provide guidance based on their child's skill level during the artistic adventures. Learners may need assistance with cutting, gluing, or assembling, depending on their familiarity with crafting tasks. To enhance the experience, we recommend having child-friendly scissors, a suitable crafting surface, and a space that allows for creativity and learning from artistic endeavors. For a smoother flow, grown-ups can prepare crafting materials in advance and have them ready for each session. This proactive approach ensures that children can focus on the joy of storytelling and hands-on crafting without feeling overwhelmed. With your support, we aim to create a positive and enjoyable learning environment where both literacy and crafting skills flourish!
