delve specifically into art, crafts, sensory, and gesture work

and symbols from around the world, the students will be given
imaginative pictures of how humans have marveled at the mystery of the
hand. In our practical work we will explore the rich possibilities of
handiness.
This program will be open
to rising 1st through
8th graders.
Crafts and activities will be adapted depending on each child's age,
interest, and need. Activities may include any or all of the

geometry, Watercolor painting, Sand tray sensory work, Clay
modeling, Musical instruments, and Eurythmic gesture work.
