Help Listers!
I teach the children's classes at a local community arts school. The majority
of our students are private voice students but I teach several children's
classes, from a
"Mommy & Me" infants class up to a 9-11 year old group voice class. The
director/owner of the studio wants me to teach a 5 week summer program. I did
this last year and did a patriotic theme, but she wants something different this
year-complete with a craft to take home. There will be a preschool (3,4,&5 yr.
olds) class, a 6-8 year old class and possibly but not probably a 9-12 year old
class. I thought about doing songs from "around the world" or maybe music &
dance of the American Indian-I have a good book for this but the crafts are too
expensive and too involved.
Before I make my mind up and start putting this together I thought I would ask
and see if anyone has any other suggestions. The craft issue is my biggest
problem since I am no artisan....last year Oriental Trading came to the rescue
with patriotic craft kits that were a lifesaver.
I don't want these classes to be too much like what I do during the year since
it will likely be some of the same kids and I want the summer session to be
unique.
Any suggestions? Feel free to email me privately since this topic probably won't
interest everybody..
Thanks, Leslie
