Fine Arts – This special will explore all aspects of the fine arts. For example in year’s past, students experimented with painting in the style of Van Gogh and French Impressionists. This year our tradition of a one month fine arts program will expand to last all year maximizing this experience! Art can enhance children’s sense of self-image and self-worth while encouraging creativity and independence. 
Computer Lab – Students will visit the upstairs computer lab regularly. The computer lab offers all students the chance to play and learn in a group environment. Age appropriate software enhances many of the preschool skills taught in the classroom.
Music – Students will have the chance to learn weekly theme-related songs in addition to those used in the classroom. Songs are also taught to be used in school programs through out the year, where students get the chance to perform for their families, friends and teachers!
Move & Groove – This special is a program to teach song and dance, basic gymnastics and body movements through stretching and aerobic exercise. The program teaches flexibility and builds muscle to help children develop their skills for gymnastics and dance. Fun music that children can relate to and preschool friendly characters are incorporated in the lesson plans. 
Rhythm and Music – Instruments, hand motions, movement and vocal exercises will be learned in this special, in addition to songs. Music can help children understand characteristics of sound such as pitch (high and low), dynamics (loud and soft) and duration (long and short).
