Fizzing. Sculpting. Squishing. Bubbling. Popping. Learning. Let's do this! Chaotic Chemistry is a hands-on, sensory-friendly class designed to help students explore science concepts through fun, tactile experiments. Each week features a new project emphasizing curiosity, observation, and play-based learning. We will explore states of matter, chemical reactions, density and buoyancy, surface tension, polymers and more! Some of the experiments include: - Make your own slime - DIY lava lamps - Build a volcano (aka the bread and butter of every science fair) - Elephant toothpaste - Exploding colors - Mentos rockets Yeah. You're gonna want to wear some goggles for this.

We will review handshapes, letters/fingerspelling, numbers and basic vocabulary, as well as basic grammar, including facial expressions. We will focus on expanding vocabulary, describing people, objects and experiences, asking and answering questions, as well as phrases and sentences. We will also review and expand our knowledge about the history of ASL and Deaf culture. *Students need to have had recent prior instruction in ASL. If not sure about placement, please contact Stacy and ask to be put in touch with me.

Can a handful of marbles and gears think like a computer? In this exciting STEM course, students become engineers and inventors as they use Turing Tumble to uncover the hidden logic that drives every computer on Earth. Through hands-on puzzles and mechanical design, they’ll master binary logic, sequences, conditionals, and problem decomposition—the same skills used in computer programming. Each class blends discovery and play as students design, test, and refine their own marble-powered computers. By the end, they’ll understand not only what computers do, but how they do it.

This is an unsupervised Study Hall. Please have your student bring work or something to do during this time.

What’s a zine? It’s more than just a mini magazine… it’s an amazing tool for self-expression, storytelling, and connection. In this class, we’ll explore the radical history of zines, study all the different forms they can take, and, best of all, create our own zines every week. Our focus is on creativity, activism, and collaboration. At the end of the course, we’ll celebrate with our own little zine fest! Whether you’re into art, poetry, politics, comics, or just want to tell your own story, this is your space.
