July/August Events at Creative Learning Connection
July 15, 2007
I wanted to let you know/remind you about a couple of
upcoming events for July and August at Creative Learning
Connection. If you have children between the ages of 5 and
9, please be sure to look at the information on a couple of
August classes at the end of the newsletter.
1st, reminder, the next Used Book Sale is this Monday, July
16th from 7:00 – 8:30 p.m. (People with materials to sell
may arrive between 6:00 and 6:30 to set up.) This is also
a good night to shop, if you need to shop after our regular
hours. We will be open straight through from Noon till
9:00 p.m. on Monday.
I’m still working on the workshop schedule for the Upcoming
Conference, but I do have most of the workshop titles for
you now. Hopefully the rest will be filled in soon. We
will open at 8:30 each day of the Conference, and close at
5:00. There is no charge to attend – but we would love to
have folks pre-register! If you can email me
(cmmjaime@alum.mit.edu) with your name(s) and titles of any
workshops you plan to attend, that will help us greatly!
We will be using 3 very different size rooms for the
workshops, and having an idea in advance of which workshops
will have the higher attendance will help us to minimize
last minute room switching!

AUGUST/SEPTEMBER CLASSES with Heather Clanton-Sample
Making Language Arts Come Alive through Creative Writing!!
(3rd-5th grade)
This fun and interactive class will help get your child
ready for the upcoming school year by reviewing and/or
introducing important Language Arts skills. As we focus
on: synonyms, multiple-meaning words, commas,
capitalization, subject-verb agreement, punctuation,
irregular verbs, adverbs, homophones, prefixes and
suffixes, prepositional phrases, and pronouns, the children
will use their creativity to explore the wodnerful world of
creative writing! Through games and involvement, your
child will be able to learn at a pace comfortable for all.
We will discover various forms of writing including lyrics,
prose, haiku, free verse, and more. By the end of the
class, your child(ren) will have the tools to write in each
of these forms of poetic verse.
Fees: $35 per child for all 6 sessions (includes Creative
Writing text booklet and all applicable supplies)
Dates: Thursdays, August 9th, 16th, 23rd, 30th, September
