The Menomonee Falls Community Education & Recreation Department is offering several after school programs for students in elementary school. The great thing about the classes is that they are located conveniently at each of the 4 elementary schools located within the Menomonee Falls School District, and are held immediately after school.
Crazy Chemistry
Partnership with Mad Science of Waukesha County
Your child will explore the world of chemistry by creating a tiny world of atoms and even a set of Atomic Coins. They will learn to manipulate laboratory equipment, and how to use Graduated Gear for research at home. The fun will continue as they explore pH extremes and the properties of light and glow in the dark technology. Classes begin September 28.
Theme Based Spanish
Partnership with Futura Language Professionals
Join our class amigos Dani and Beto on two exiting Spanish adventures! In the Fall class, Vamos a Jugar! (Let's Play!), our class amigos will lead students on an exploration of games, sports, and hobbies that children throughout Mexico love. Students will learn game-related Spanish vocabulary and glimpse the cultural phenomenon that is futbol (soccer). Dani and Beto join us again in Spring for an exciting animal adventure with Vamos con los Animales! (Let's go with the animals!) For eight jam-packed sessions, we will blaze new trails to a pet store, a farm, the zoo, the ocean, and even the rainforest! Appropriate for students with or without previous Spanish experience. Classes begin October 1.
Chess
