These classes are offered to both Viaquenti students as well as student’s currently not enrolled in the school.

Please note that extended day students get to participate in the following program at no extra charge.

Circle/Story Time:During this time children will discuss the plans for the day and go over any topics involved in our activities. This is also a time when we can either have a teacher read a story or have the children participate in Creative Thinking by creating their own stories on our felt board.
Physical Health: Time to stretch! Before the children sit to do their work they will have time to stretch out and exercise together. We will discuss the importance of keeping our bodies fit and healthy. Music- Children will play music instruments, practice and learn new songs, and even show off their dance moves.
Mathematics/Literacy: Children will split into groups according to skill level to work on either Math or Literacy depending on the day.
Art: The class will get the chance to work with many different art materials. We will be working on our own creative expression as well as learning about some well-known artists. The children will be looking at various art pieces for their own enjoyment and to attempt to recreate them!
Science: During science we will be going over many different topics and performing fun science experiments to supplement our learning!

After School Program Project Example

The All About Pets project was a very interesting theme for the after school children. The theme was a month long lesson consisting of four learning objectives: Types of animals to use for pets, Caring for pets, The Animal Hospital and Veterinarian. The children learned how Veterinarians take care of pets and how X-rays and medicine are used in an animal hospital. By the end of the lesson, the children were very knowledgeable about the importance of caring for pets.
