FREE event to help give your kiddos a jump start on getting ready to get back to school. This workshop will be focusing on an end product of creating their very own comic book. We will be creating our leading character with an instructed draw of a superhero. This can be used as their main character, or just a vision of them being empowered to be a “Super Hero Writer”. We will be developing a story frame and begin putting our ideas in our comic book. They will leave with all that they need to finish their comic book, which should take them a few days to finalize. Once they are finished we are going to do an author feature, where your author will be able to present their story to an audience (not required, but an option). I have found that young authors love to share their stories to an audience which builds confidence and excitement in writing.
This class’ objective is to get your child inspired to create and to write. Sentence structure will be discussed, but not the focus for this workshop. Many times just getting their ideas out without the frustration of getting sentence structures correct deters them from wanting to write at all and often will give up entirely. We want to inspire them to create more.
There is limited seating for this event so you will need to register your child, but there is no cost for the event.
Hope to see you there.
Dress frog for Back 2 School
Time to start getting ready to go Back to School! For us teachers we are shocked on how fast it went, as for you parents you are probably thinking it can’t get here fast enough. Well frog is really not sure what he should wear to go back to school and was hoping all of his friends could help him create the perfect “first day” outfit.
This is a coloring contest with a twist. You are welcome to create an outfit for frog with any medium you would like. You are welcome to color, draw, paint, glue paper, fabric, even media creations. Once you have dressed frog, you will then send a picture of your project back to us so that we can post it on our Facebook page. Pictures will be posted starting August 1st until August 23rd. There will be two winners in each age category. One category will be the most likes on their picture, so you will want family and friends to help support as well. Second winner in each age category will be frogs favorite pick. Frog really likes creativity and thoughtful ideas so have fun and let your creativity go wild.
Age categories are: ages 1-5 , ages 7-10, ages 11-15
Prizes: Prizes are a gift card for a double scoop ice cream from Scoops in Georgetown, TX.
