Class Themes:
Art Through the Ages
Students will learn about history through art! From cave paintings and pottery to stained glass and quilting, we’ll explore different types of art and what we can learn from them!
Out of This World!
Let’s explore space! Students will learn about everything that makes up our galaxy, while conducting science experiments, making art projects, and figuring out what it might look like to live on another planet!
Trinidad Trailblazers
Who traveled the Santa Fe Trail? For this class, students will be learning about some pretty important people who made positive impacts on Southern Colorado.
Inventors and Innovators
We’ll learn about important inventions that impact our life every day! Students will build and create–roller coasters, skyscrapers, cars, robots, and more!
Library Time
When weather allows, we’ll walk down to the Carnegie Public Library and spend time in the Children’s Area! Throughout the semester, we’ll read and continue our learning through books! Students can bring their library cards with them to check out, or we can help families sign up; without a card, students can still read and play while at the library!
