WEDNESDAY Term 4
ANIMAL LOVERS SOCIAL CLUB
Do you adore animals? Do you want to share your love for our furry friends with like-minded folks and with local advocacy groups and services? Do you love creating art and other objects for and of animals themselves? Here is your chance to truly show up and provide both visitations at a shelter through a few field trips, as well as learning more about the animals near and far. We may also be able to create homes and toys for their comfort and safety! Connect with the other animal lovers here at school to create active change in our community.

Learn how to rock the harmonica and you can make a life long relationship with an incredibly versatile instrument! When groups of folks gather together to play favorite songs on guitar, piano, violin, & others, the harmonica is an easy instrument to integrate and join right in.We'll learn the basic techniques, deepen your interest in music, and stretch your practice. Since the harmonica appears in such a wide range of musical styles --- not only folk, blues, country, and rock n' roll, but also jazz and classical music --- we'll get to explore as we become more proficient. Breathe the chord changes softly, and then you get to play some solos. After we study several familiar songs that will introduce us to some fundamental techniques, we'll jump into other songs that have less intuitive techniques. Along the way, we will touch on some ideas about music theory and generally have a great time playing! We will be using a 10-hole diatonic harmonica in the key of "C". Instructor Howard Horowitz, who plays regularly in Park City and has been enjoying this classic instrument for decades! (He is also our former SLArts Chess Coach, and a parent of an alum from the Salt Lake Arts Academy's very first years!)

If you want to share your love of beautiful Japanese animation (anime) together in a low-key atmosphere, join us in Anime Afternoons! We'll take in some of our favorite films, like My Neighbor Totoro, Kiki's Delivery Service, Spirited Away, and Ponyo (we can choose some together) while we sketch out favorite characters, create some of our own, sip warm herbal tea, and even do some crafts relating to the stories we are following. Discover something deeper about this gorgeous art form that is so popular now. Instructor: Bonnie Cooper

GAME DAY WEDNESDAYS
If you enjoy board games, cards, trivia games, games of chance or games of skill, we'll cover your favorites! Discover new games like Texas Hold 'Em, or Hearts, or we can rely on trusted UNO, but whichever way we go -- we can still up the stakes with ice cream sandwiches on the line! Racing puzzles or games of strategy?.... perhaps deciding which one to play next will be the toughest decision of the afternoon. And, of course, we can head outside for a game of "Horse' from time to time, too. Instructor: Marti Olsen

HOMEWORK HALL
Need a chance to get your homework done before your busy afternoon and evening activities? Students focus on their school work or silent reading in a quiet, supervised “study hall.” Sign up for one day or more, depending upon your needs. Homework Hall continues all year long, but registration occurs per term to allow for flexibility in students’ changing after-school schedules. Homework Hall is offered Monday through Thursday.

EXTENDED DAY
Downtime AFTER our enrolled after school classes, this unstructured, but supervised time is different than Homework Hall or our other activity-based classes. Socialize, play games, and just hang out until a parent or pick-up arrives. If your child does not head out by themselves for the bus, biking, walking, carpool or TRAX, this is a great option AFTER our other After School offerings. In the winter, we will primarily be inside in room 201, across the hall from the Main Office.
~ ALL Grades / Total Cost $55, for Mondays only, all term
~ TERM FOUR ends May 20
~ Class BEGINS when your child's first Wednesday class ends, Extended Day ends promptly at 5:30
~ LATE FEES WILL BE ASSESSED after 5:35 pm so please be on time.
