What’s New this Fall? Introducing… Obstacle Dash!

Preschool and Youth After School Classes Drawing for the Preschooler (p. 40) and The Power of Drawing for elementary school students (p. 44) is a new program offered in response to requests from parents through our after school survey last spring. Rec&Ed is partnering with Young Rembrants® to provide these classes. Children who learn to draw using the Young Rembrandts® method develop spatial reasoning and fine motor skills, order and sequencing abilities, visualization, and self-discipline as well as fundamental art skills. To find out more about this program, enroll in the free Power of Drawing workshop scheduled for September 11 (p. 44).

Last spring, Rec&Ed’s pilot Obstacle Dash after school activity taught hundreds of kids to hop, run, and crawl through a variety of indoor and outdoor obstacle courses. Students from four pilot schools worked in small groups to overcome obstacles and build teamwork and leadership skills. This program was offered as part of the Michigan Dept. of Community Health-funded “Fuel Up for Fun” grant program and created in partnership with One on One Sports.

In addition to LEGO Robotics, we are also offering Bricks 4 Kids classes (p. 50) and partnering with Mad Science staff to offer Crazy Chemworks. (p. 51).

For fall 2013, we have expanded the Obstacle Dash program to many more elementary and some middle schools. It’s perfect for all children – whether they prefer individual or team sports – because it builds confidence for conquering life’s obstacles. See Obstacle Dash after school classes for boys and girls in grades 2-5 (p. 56-57) and grades 6-8 (p. 57). Participants from all fall 2013 programs will come together for a final BIG obstacle course event. This event will be held on Nov. 16 for elementary school and Nov. 23 for middle school participants. Parents are invited to cheer for their athletes and may also try the obstacle course themselves if they’d like!

New Classes for Adults Adult participants will enjoy Super Foods = Super You, a series of healthy cooking classes offered by Tanya Andrews (p. 6). Instructor Patrica Na is offering Working with Windows 8 (p. 13), Master Your iPhone 2 and Take Great Photos with Your iPhone (p. 14) and Ukulele for Beginners (p. 35) is offered in cooperation with the Ann Arbor Music Center. For our participants with special needs, in response to our parent/caregiver focus group, we are offering these new classes for grades 9 through Adult: Fun Night Out, Halloween Dance and Snowflake Dance (p. 37).

Fall 2013

Swim Program Closed We are very sorry to announce the closure of our adult and youth instructional swim classes. The school board’s decision to eliminate funding for middle school pools effectively ended Rec&Ed’s long-running instructional swim program. However, as part of our Fitness program we are offering four aquatics classes: • Parent/Tot Swim, 20 • Therapeutic Deep Water Exercise, 19 • Open Therapeutic Swim, 19 • Deep Water Aerobics, 19 We understand that the loss of our swim program is not only a loss to Rec&Ed, but to the school district and community as well. We hope that families will take advantage of other local organizations that provide swimming lessons. The City of Ann Arbor offers swimming lessons at about the same price and uses a very similar curriculum to Rec&Ed’s. Other local swim programs include Goldfish Swim, the Y, Washtenaw County's Meri Lou Murray Recreation Center, and numerous neighborhood-based pools and clubs.

Chakra Energy Workshop

Chakras are the major vortices of energy that act as the junction points between mind and matter. Each chakra governs a particular area of your body, including the bones, organs and body tissue. A chakra acts like a funnel that directs energy into major intake points of the body. When your chakras are blocked energy intake is diminished and you lose the ability to function at an optimal level. Chakras are your springboard to physical, emotional, mental and spiritual health and wellbeing. Get ready to go on a journey of self-discovery to a more balanced, peaceful and joyful you. The first class will include a Chakra Diagnostic Test so the class can be personalized to you. Required textbook: ABC of Chakra Therapy by Deedre Diemer is included in the class fee.
