MONDAYS

Art Studio & Woodworking
Join Naomi for Woodworking and Art. This class is perfect for the woodshop and tool enthusiast. Projects will include using saws, as well as other tools we may not have experienced in our morning classes. With a wider knowledge of tools, students will be guided through making objects that are meaningful to them; many made from recycled materials. On nice days we will venture outside not just to play, but to explore and create with the natural materials that surround us. The Jewish value of Bal Tashcheet (not wasting or destroying needlessly) will be central in this class. As always, safety is our priority. All children will wear safety goggles and have one on one supervision while working with tools.

TUESDAYS
