ESSAY MADE EASY: STEPS TO<br />
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 />

details. Students learn how to pay attention to their world <strong>and</strong> see,<br />
then draw, things that are important to them. Anything might strike<br />
your fancy: the first tomato of the season or a child's soccer game.<br />

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