K-5 Wednesday Enrichment

K-5 WEDNESDAY ENRICHMENT

Wednesday afternoons are a special time at Sigsbee Charter School. The teachers become learners and our campus becomes a mecca of cultural arts. Dismissal occurs at 12:00 every Wednesday (2:00 PM for Middle School). Elementary school children can spend the afternoon with a parent or enroll in some of our extraordinary enrichment classes. Our classes are offered for a nominal fee (usually $50-$75/ten weeks) that pays for our visiting instructors and materials. Any

additional funds are used for scholarships and to purchase materials needed for our school programs.

K-2 students will participate in an educational and engaging program led by their classroom support teacher. This program will include Arts and Crafts, Board Games, themed activities, and outdoor games, as well as guest speakers from our school and community.

Students in grades 3 through 5 can choose a different activity each Wednesday, which may include Art, Soccer, Origami, Karaoke, Board Games, Science Projects, or Yoga. We will also have guest speakers from our community come and speak to us.

During enrichment, the classroom teachers are involved in professional development with the principal and collaborate with their team members. They study the craft of teaching while working together to create new educational programs or refine current practices. They model for students that learning is a lifelong endeavor. Meetings include professional book study, webinars, curriculum mapping, curriculum articulation, and learning from consultants. The focus is always on the children.

Continued participation in enrichment requires stellar behavior. We are fortunate to have highly qualified visiting instructors running our programs and want to maintain our Sigsbee Pride. Students who do not behave appropriately will be asked to forego enrichment, and the remainder of their fee will be returned.

Enrichment classes may be paid for using our PayPal link on this website.

Please Note: Middle School releases at 2:00 PM on Wednesdays.

Also, if a student is going to miss an enrichment class, the enrichment teacher, main office and

classroom teacher should all be notified in advance.
