Academic Enrichment Courses at Parkmont Elementary

Ohlone for Kids in partnership with Parkmont Elementary School is proud to offer two sessions of after school enrichment classes.

Amazing Artists: Making Art with Many Materials
Is your child a mini-Monet, or a pint-sized Picasso?
This class gives children ample opportunity to express their inner artist through a variety of mediums. Along the way they will learn how to use shapes, textures, and color to bring their designs to life as well as gain confidence in their creative abilities.

GRADES 4-6
Art classes will be held on Tuesdays.
Time: 3:00 PM – 4:00 PM
Session 1: October 14-December 16 (No class 11/11&11/25)
Session 2: Spring; dates TBA
Room: TBA

WRITING WONDERS
Does your child have a vibrant imagination and love story-telling? This unique course offers children the opportunity to engage in a variety of word games and writing exercises designed to awaken their creative passions and instill confidence in their ability to generate ideas for the page. During the eight-week program, students will learn writing is a vital and powerful means for self-expression. They’ll learn writing is fun, and something they CAN do. A child who likes to write will write more, and in turn, will improve their writing skills. This class is designed to help both the child who already loves to write and the one who struggles to connect their ideas to the written word.
