Any adult who has helped a learner—formally or informally—has access to two useful voices: a “Teacher Voice” that provides instruction, information, and sometimes step-by-step directions, and an “Executive Function Coach Voice” that invites thinking, problem-solving, and&nbsp;ownership.
Both are important. The key is knowing which voice the learner needs in the moment — when to step in with direction and when to step back and make room for&nbsp;thinking.
Join Forman School's Cognition and Learning Teacher and Executive Function Coach Robyn Greenspan, Cognition and Learning Head of Department Brittany Bloom-Price, and Director of Cognition and Learning Dr. Kristin Simmers as they share research-informed strategies that work for learners of all ages, with a&nbsp;focus&nbsp;on:
<ul><li>A clear, plain-language understanding of executive function&nbsp;coaching</li><li>How to recognize when to use Teacher Voice and EF Coach&nbsp;Voice</li><li>Specific language shifts that encourage thinking, problem-solving, and&nbsp;ownership</li><li>Practical strategies that can be used at home and at&nbsp;school</li></ul>

There will be pottery, woodwork, prints, jewelry, textiles, and fabric art, painting, photography, and so much more. Free parking is available along State Street, and adjacent to the DMV.&nbsp;
While Google gives the address of Cove Park as 533 Main Street, fair goers would be better served using the Solomon Wells House (220 Hartford Avenue) or the DMV (60 State Street) as a frame of reference.&nbsp;

Saint John’s Episcopal Church

Works by Schubert, Gryc, and Brahms
Originally written as a single movement for another piece, “Notturno” is a work of nuanced beauty. This gem of a composition by the sublime lyricist Franz Schubert opens our 2026-27 season. “Dances and Nocturnes” was commissioned by New World in 1989 from Hartt composer Steven Gryc. Each of the seven fanciful movements can be considered “night music”, the dances being “dreams of dances”. The addition of a viola adds richness and depth to the overall texture, creating a “contemporary classic” piano quartet. Brahms’ op.8 trio was first written as a youthful composer of 21 and revised thirty-five years later, shortly before his death. This imposing, expansive work remains a cornerstone of the chamber music repertoire. Its classical structure combined with romantic expressionism certainly fits the weltgeist of Beethoven. “ Autumn Reflections” is being given in memory of William E Fuller.

Mill Street Marketplace

Haunt &amp; Gather is back for year two!!
This is the one that leans fully into the season 😏 darker, a little witchy, and filled with pieces that feel right at home in October! You’ll find a mix of oddities, vintage, handmade work, and artists bringing work that really screams Halloween! 🎃🥹
As always, everything is curated with intention - no AI, no reseller junk, no mass produced crap. Just real work from small businesses and artists who care about what they’re creating.
There will be tattooing during the event by Yellow Pants Tattoo with flash available, plus the Taste Garden Cafe food truck and Caffeine Coven serving only the best drinks (yes, even the ones with the tiny marshmallow ghosts 👻).
The market takes place at Mill Street Marketplace, which has 80+ permanent indoor vendors, so there’s plenty to check out throughout the space while you’re there.
Also, Wethersfield in October just has a really specific feel to it. Main Street is filled with handmade scarecrows all month, and the whole town turns into a walkable fall backdrop with historic buildings, shops, and seasonal decor everywhere you look!
Feel free to come in costume &amp; bring your Halloween spirit!! 🎃
