SUCCESSFUL WRITING<br />

Wouldn’t it be great if you were able to write with confidence <strong>and</strong><br />

get the grade you know you deserve? Putting ideas on paper can be<br />

challenging, but it’s certainly not impossible. In fact, it can even be<br />

<strong>fun</strong> once you master the basic steps. This 10 hour intensive writing<br />

course will teach students how to write solid essays in a small group<br />

setting. With no more than 10 students per class, each student will<br />

get the one-on-one attention needed. Students will learn to underst<strong>and</strong><br />

writing prompts, brainstorm for ideas, organize their<br />

thoughts, create a structure, execute their writing, <strong>and</strong> proofread<br />

for precision. Students will also learn more about word choice, supporting<br />

details, <strong>and</strong> audience awareness <strong>through</strong> writing prompts<br />

that are <strong>fun</strong> <strong>and</strong> age appropriate. Now that the SAT’s, CAHSEE, <strong>and</strong><br />

STAR tests all require students to write essays, it’s time to build a<br />

foundation <strong>and</strong> write with success. Class meets in Room R-3<br />

Do you want to<br />

become a proathlete?<br />

Well<br />

you can for a<br />

week! Teens will<br />

create a marketing<br />

campaign<br />

on what country<br />

they will represent<br />

before the<br />

opening ceremony<br />

begins.<br />

Teens get to<br />

come up with<br />

their own event<br />

that their group<br />

specializes in <strong>and</strong> compete in traditional events such as the long<br />

jump, cross-country, discuss, baton relay, <strong>and</strong> many other exciting<br />

field events. What country will take the Gold, Silver or Bronze? The<br />

week will conclude with a traditional closing <strong>and</strong> the teens will be<br />

taking a trip to the Malibu Gr<strong>and</strong> Prix!<br />

These 50-minute dual immersion, bilingual classes introduce you<br />

(Spanish, M<strong>and</strong>arin or French) plus music from around the world.<br />

Your child experiences a new language <strong>through</strong> songs, chants,<br />

dance, <strong>and</strong> free play with age-appropriate instruments in a <strong>fun</strong> <strong>and</strong><br />

creative learning environment. Lots of rhythmic <strong>and</strong> tonal play integrated<br />

with whole body movement <strong>and</strong> imaginative improvisation<br />

provide a wonderful foundation for future musical, linguistic, <strong>and</strong><br />

intellectual growth. Siblings<br />

under 10 months are free, discount<br />

MUSIC TOGETHER- MIXED AGES<br />

This is the essential Music Together class, one that a child can attend<br />

from birth <strong>through</strong> age six <strong>through</strong> all nine song collections. This<br />

basic class follows the recommendations of child development<br />

researchers - grouping children of a variety of ages because this fosters<br />

natural, family-style learning. Younger children enjoy watching <strong>and</strong><br />

imitating older ones; older children learn by leading younger ones;<br />

<strong>and</strong> adults are happy because the children in the family can go to class<br />

together. Each child participates at his or her own level in singing,<br />

moving, chanting, listening, watching, or exploring musical instruments.<br />

Any caregivers - parents, gr<strong>and</strong>parents, nanny - can bring the<br />

children. The whole family is welcome for this important family<br />

music experience. For more info or for a free preview, call 831-438-<br />

3514 or email registrar@musicalme.com.More information <strong>and</strong><br />

make-up class procedures can be found at www.musicalme.com. Lab<br />

fee: $40 due at first class meeting.<br />

MUSIC TOGETHER-BABIES<br />

Every child’s development benefits from early exposure to music<br />

<strong>and</strong> movement. Because the early months are so important, Music<br />

Together offers two options for babies. Babies eight months <strong>and</strong><br />

younger at the time of registration may attend a Mixed Ages Class,<br />

whether registered on their own or attending free with an older<br />

brother or sister. Babies may also take the special Babies Class<br />

offered as a one-semester introduction to Music Together. (This<br />

class cannot be repeated.) The music activities <strong>and</strong> materials are<br />

specially designed for parents who want to learn as much as possible<br />

about music development in babies. Meet other parents of<br />

newborns <strong>and</strong> learn some fascinating music activities you can<br />

recreate at home with your baby. Please call 831-438-3514 or email<br />

registrar@musicalme.com for more info or for a free preview. Lab<br />

fee: $40 due at first class meeting.<br />

Instructor: Music Together Staff.<br />

PLEASE NOTE: No class on Monday, May 26th. Music Together is a music <strong>and</strong> movement approach to early childhood music development<br />

for infant, toddler, preschool, <strong>and</strong> kindergarten children <strong>and</strong> their parents, gr<strong>and</strong>parents <strong>and</strong> other primary caregivers. The Music<br />

Together approach develops every child’s birthright of basic music competence by encouraging the actual experiencing of music, rather<br />

than the learning of concepts or information about music. Does music make you smarter? Yes! Music Together will add brilliance to the<br />

life of your whole family. For more info or for a free preview, call 831-438-3514 or email registrar@musicalme.com. More information<br />

<strong>and</strong> make-up class procedures can be found at www.musicalme.com. A m<strong>and</strong>atory $40 lab fee per family is payable to instructors in<br />

class. All students must be enrolled, unless they are 8 months <strong>and</strong> under AND attending with a registered sibling. In the case of an<br />

occasional special situation where an enrolled student would like to bring a sibling or friend to class with them, you must first schedule<br />

the visit in advance <strong>and</strong> pay a guest fee for the extra child which is $15, payable to “MusicalMe, Inc.” Payment must be made <strong>and</strong> given<br />

to the teacher on the day you attend. We cannot extend this guest fee option to any unregistered families.<br />

sketch. Learn basic color theory, watercolor tricks <strong>and</strong> techniques,<br />
