Group Classes
In our Travel Club...
This incredibly unique group class meets weekly to learn about the world together! My travels to over 20 countries and living abroad in multiple countries have enabled me to connect with the group on a personal level as we "travel" from country to country. We learn about everything from flags and flowers to languages and currency. Time always flies as we discuss maps, climates, exotic animals, music, art, sports, terrains, weather, traditions, and foods we have never seen before. We may be taking turns reading in our "Countries of the World" book, or looking up images of exotic animals that match our country of the month. Singing "Circle Of Life" from Lion King lets us try the Swahili language, and "Hawaiian Roller Coaster Ride" from Lilo & Stich has us learning Hawaiin words in such a fun way! This group now races to answer first whether I've held up an American or Canadian dollar, a euro bill, British pounds, or Albanian Lek! Wow! Filling in our passport books with flag stickers and information about each place we "visit" keeps us sharp for our trivia games. We even occasionally get surprises in the mail like tasty treats from a specific country, or art projects we can make with famous landmarks we have studied. We are all about celebrating cultural differences. Why is all this important? Because once you understand just how big and wonderful the world is, the more you can appreciate your place in it. I encourage you to check out "The Value of Virtual Classes" as it lists many more of the benefits of this wonderful class.
In our Book Club...
Connections are made, imaginations are fueled, skills are learned, and a lot of fun is had by everyone! Reading skills, confidence, social skills, focus, keeping place in a book, remembering whose turn it is to read aloud, listening skills, comprehension, finding pages, reading the table of contents, prediction skills, context cues, differing opinions, rich discussions, summarizing, recall, making each other laugh... I could go on and on and on! I encourage you to check out "The Value of Virtual Classes" as it lists many more of the benefits of this wonderful class.
*This Group Book Club no longer meets monthly, so watch for any special one-time events in the Upcoming Events tab.
We read together and discuss one of the DeCamville Arts Stories. (Check out the Books!) These are 90-minute sessions with around half a dozen individuals led by me (Cristin DeCamville).
We typically take turns reading a page each in turn, discussing the story as we go. This includes the discussion pages at the end of each book.
*No reading skills necessary.
*Participation is flexible.
It is okay to just listen to the story and conversation if that's the best way for your loved one to enjoy this experience.
*No age requirements, although you'll learn under the BOOKS section which stories are best for which ages.
*$33 nonrefundable per session.
Space is always limited, so reach out at any time to inquire about reserving a spot, even if a session is months away. We would love to have you join us!
