Arts & Crafts and Games
Arts and crafts play an important role in relieving stress and making you feel calm, composed and relaxed. As you make new artistic creations, your brain is occupied and any stress or negative thoughts can melt away. For example, textile crafts such as crafting or painting require focused attention and help take your mind off any worries. The repetition involved also has a therapeutic, calming effect.

AR Literacy & Computer Games
Accelerated Reader helps create a culture of reading through engagement, choice, and celebration of reading achievement. When students feel successful as readers, they are motivated to read more, and they read more widely, which in turn supports building critical word recognition and language comprehension skills. Reading abilities greatly impact student performance across all subject areas, and students who read more are more confident and skilled readers in all reading environments.
Grades: 2, 3, 4
Wednesday, Thursday, & Friday
4:30 pm - 5:30 pm
Instructor: A. Garza
(All students will be dismissed at their regular dismissal time and can return for the power plus class beginning at 4:30)
