Learning Lab Fall 2024 (Wednesday)

What is Learning Lab?

Wednesday Learning Lab (10 AM-1 PM) is a drop-off class for elementary homeschoolers. We will focus on a weekly book or story, promoting social learning opportunities and academic encouragement. We will meet learners where they are academically and socially and help them develop skills to be lifelong learners.

Families will rotate bringing snacks for the class, and parents will be invited to join us in class for special events and celebrations. 

A typical day in Learning Lab might look like this:

• Arrival and settling in (free time with art and stations)
• In the morning meeting, we all come together, share something from our week, and explore our theme with a book and journal page
• Snack time
• A group activity that supports the theme
• 3-4 activity stations exploring our theme using art, science, and math
• Lunch
• Cleaning up, free time with art, station/outdoor time
• Parent arrival and pick-up 

The themes for Monday and Wednesday programming will be coordinated each week, and the activities will differ so Learners can attend both days without repeating content.

Who is Wednesday Learning Lab for?

Learning Lab will best benefit Learners in grades K-5. Multi-aged learning is a big benefit of homeschooling. In Learning Lab classes, group activities and stations will have multiple options of varying levels to meet different learners. For example, a writing station may include a letter recognition activity, word tracing, and creative writing prompts.

For Wednesday drop-off, learners must be at least 5 years old by the first day of class and able to use the bathroom independently.

Where and when is Learning Lab? How much does it cost?

Learning Lab will run from August 2024 to May 2025. Open house will be August 7th and classes will start August 14th.
