It is fun and interesting.  Students should do experiments to which they do not already know the results, so that they can learn something new.  Students will have a chance to present their project the night of Tuesday, November 19, 2024.  Certificates will be awarded to all participants.

Los Alamitos Dances

We are almost set for the dances! However, we do not have many dads who have agreed to volunteer for the mother/son dance. Don’t worry dads- the majority of the work will be done. We just need you to volunteer to monitor the food area and to break things down.  This way the moms can enjoy their time with their sons without worrying. Please email losalamitospta@gmail.com if you're interested! Thank you!

Let Grow Play Club- Sign Up Now!

Use the QR codes on the flyer to sign up! Wednesdays 2:10pm - 3:30pm. $20 per student for 4 sessions. 

 

The Let Grow Play Club is an initiative by the nonprofit organization Let Grow, which is dedicated to promoting childhood independence and resilience. The Play Club encourages schools, communities, and parents to allow children more unstructured, unsupervised playtime. The idea is based on the belief that children develop essential life skills such as problem-solving, creativity, and social interaction through self-directed play. The club aims to counter the trend of over-scheduled and over-supervised childhoods by giving kids the freedom to explore and engage in play on their own terms, fostering greater confidence and independence.  (Visit www.letgrow.org or watch https://vimeo.com/466594070 to learn more)
