About this event
2:30-3:30 pm Through the Lens is a photography class for students in 3rd through 5th grade where kids learn how to tell stories and capture their world through images. Students will explore the basics of photography in a fun, age appropriate way, including lighting, composition, perspective, framing, and how to photograph people, places, and objects with intention. Each week includes mini photo challenges and creative prompts such as textures, shadows, color hunts, emotion portraits, and storytelling sequences. Students will practice giving and receiving kind feedback while building confidence in their own creative eye. If students have an old or inexpensive camera at home, they are welcome to bring it to class , but it is completely optional. The teacher will always provide ways for every student to participate, with or without a personal camera. 3:30-4:30 pm Naomi’s Jam Session is a high energy contemporary music class for students in 3rd through 5th grade where kids get to sing, play, and collaborate in a fun, low pressure jam environment. Using guitar, vocals, and simple rhythm instruments, students will explore popular music and learn what it feels like to make music together as a group. Each week includes upbeat sing alongs, call and response games, lyric based activities, and group jams where students can take turns leading, choosing parts, and adding their own style. The focus is on confidence, creativity, and teamwork rather than formal lessons. By the end of the session, students will have a mini set of favorite songs they can perform together and a stronger love for music.
