Printing in the Park

Ages 5-7 years

July 30-August 3, 9:15—10:30

This group is aimed at children coming out of KG/Gr. 1/2 who have already covered the formations but need additional support to enhance their skills. Children in this group will work on pencil grasp, in hand manipulation skills, letter formation (primarily lowercase), kinesthetic printing, shoulder stability and more! A different group of letters will be targeted each day.

Each child will start a Handwriting Without Tears workbook in the group and then take it home at the end of the week to complete at home. Group activities also include sensory-motor activities such as Obstacle courses and yoga.

Introduction to The Alert Program: “How Does Your Engine Run?”®

Ages 7-9 years
July 30-August 3, 11:00-12:00
Children will learn concepts from The Alert Program® and participate in activities to learn about what makes their engines run in high, low and just right. (www.alertprogram.com) Each session we will try activities from the 5 categories: Move, Touch, Listen, Look and Mouth to see how they affect their engine level. Parents will be asked to briefly review daily work at home between sessions. Children will complete an engine toolbox on their final day with strategies that they have identified as helping to change their engine level. Handouts & follow-up resources will be provided to families.

Groups will be held at McQueen Hall, 10825 McQueen Road (~146 st). Many activities will be done outside, weather permitting.
