Urban Builders: Nature + Cities
New York City is a young builder's dream. Children will explore varying architectural styles in Brooklyn and the city at large, from the tall towers of Manhattan and Downtown Brooklyn to the sedate brownstones of residential NYC, while deepening their concepts of geometry and physical science. From our very own windows, they can watch a building grow from the ground up! They will go on scouting trips and then come back to build models from their photographs and sketches, build towers and structures with blocks and other building materials, and enjoy art and photography, all while broadening their builder’s vocabulary.

Ocean Explorers
Children explore New York as an ocean city by learning about its ocean inhabitants. What cool creatures live near us? How do they sleep? What do they eat? What is dangerous for them and what do they enjoy? In this marine-themed week, we will learn about neighboring marine life: whales, dolphins, seals, jellyfish, oysters, and, of course, fish! The week will include hands-on science projects that focus on our delicate ecosystem and the water cycle and a guest visit with a marine biology children’s educator.

Animal Powers
Children dive into animal powers and how they use them. Webbed feet, sharp claws, whiskers, sharp teeth, large beaks, wings, hooves, the ability to camouflage or shed skin or antlers. Why do animals have these and how do they use them? A week rich in new vocabulary in the target language, children are visited by a birds-of-prey rescue center and get to learn up close about some awesome creatures.
