Courses for Adults NEW Finger Painting for Adults: Paste

Paper

ART, MUSIC & CULTURE Beginner Barn Quilt Painting If you are looking for a historic, artistic craft, barn quilting may be your new favorite form of art. A barn quilt takes the concept of a quilt square, just like one you would find on a blanket in your home, and recreates it on wood. Barn quilts are thought to have begun hundreds of years ago when immigrants from central Europe painted them to identify and decorate their barns. This class includes all materials and you will head home with a fully painted 1'x1' barn quilt. All courses will be held at MHS Career Academy Art Room 400, 2800 27th Ave S:

First used around 450 years ago, the technique of using paint and starch to create unique and highly variable designs on paper remains a simple and versatile method to decorate paper. They are simple to produce – rather like finger painting and having creative free play time. Paste papers can be used for greeting cards, wrapping paper, book covers, decorating boxes, collages, kites – anywhere you want bright, vibrant designs. Wet pages can be taken home carefully or picked up from Community Ed the following week.

Vitamins & Herbs: Facts and Fallacies

Seven Steps to Reverse or Prevent Diabesity Diabesity is a condition in which too much belly fat leads a person to symptoms ranging from mild blood sugar imbalance to full blown diabetes. Whether you have a little extra weight around the middle, insulin resistance or type 2 diabetes, the root cause of ALL these conditions are the same - problems with our diet, lifestyle and exposure to environmental toxins. Most treatments focus on the downstream symptoms (elevated levels of glucose, cholesterol, blood pressure, triglycerides) and never get to WHY your levels are too high and how to change it. The good news is all of this can be reversed. Learn how to work with your doctor to help restore your body to health. AE56 - Janice Novak Mon, 9/21, 7-8:30 PM Virtual $39 ($34)*

EARLY CHILDHOOD FAMILY EDUCATION

Fall/Winter Session Parent-Child -- Separating Classes Class Structure: Parents and children spend the first half together working on activities the teacher and room provides. Then we transition into circle time, which may consist of music, finger plays, movement activities, books, flannel board stories, puppets and other child-centered activities. The second half parents discuss topics of interest with each other and a licensed parent educator. Children enjoy play time, remaining with a licensed early childhood educator. You know your child best. If your child is not ready to separate, you can stay with your child the entire class.

EARLY CHILDHOOD FAMILY EDUCATION Together We Play, Then We Grow! We begin class together with fun, engaging ECCFE activities that build connection, confidence, and commentary through play, songs, stories, and hands-on exploration. Then we “split and grow”-children separate into small groups with two early childhood teachers, grouped by age and or splitting siblings. This allows us to focus on developmentally appropriate skills, independence, and social growth while also supporting comfort and connection. During this same time, adults gather in a supportive parent group for conversation, ideas, and connection! A warm, welcoming ECFE experience where families start together, then grow in their own ways, building independence for children and community for grown-ups.
