2024-2025 1st Semester Afternoon Enrichment Classes
Mondays: Rhythm Stars
Bethe's lower grade music teacher (Mrs. Hoyum) will join us for a class full of making beautiful music together! In this class, we will spend our afternoons singing, dancing, listening to great stories and exploring a variety of rhythm instruments. Music and rhythm will be all around us, helping to build creativity, imagination, balance, early math skills, and so much more for our preschoolers.
Tuesdays: Messy Science
Bethel's grade school science teacher (Mrs. Bartholomew) will join us for a hands-on class that combines science with messy FUN, with daily experiments that will be sure to delight our preschoolers. We will engage all our senses with activities like making slime, figuring out how bubbles work, melting crayons, and much more, all while exploring science and the world around us.
Wednesdays: Outdoor Adventures
Using Bethel Preschool's outdoor classroom, we will take our adventures outside! Being outdoors engages all of our senses as we explore the world around us, through hikes, using nature to create art, planting and growing flowers and plants, and enjoying all Mother Nature has to offer. While we will plan to spend time outside every day regardless of the weather, some activities may take place indoors in the case of excessive rain, snow, heat or cold.
Thursdays: Bethel Book Club
All of our favorite preschool stories will be featured in our very own preschool book club! Each week, we will pick a book to enjoy from our list of the very best and use it to expand our knowledge of authors, language, phonics and many other early literacy skills. We will add in some art and games and will even make a book of our very own!
