Sample AEP Course Descriptions

1,2,3, Go!
“One, two, three, Go”! is a math class that provides hands-on experiences for young children to develop math skills in a fun way. Math concepts are introduced and reinforced through stories, poetry, songs and math games. Children will have opportunity to count, sort, and order math manipulatives as they build a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts.

Playing with Spanish

Foster a love of language. Young children have a natural affinity for language and for music. This class takes advantage of these by teaching basic Spanish through simple songs and musical games. Students will learn basic greetings, numbers, colors, parts of the body, articles of clothing, animals, and action words. Putting words to music is fun, and the delight children experience will increase their ability to remember them.

A Rainbow of Colors

From birth, children are fascinated by the colors that surround them. Basic science concepts are introduced as students make comparisons and observations, formulate simple hypotheses, and perform experiments. This fun and intellectually stimulating class creates a rich experience for young children as they explore a rainbow of colors through art projects, math activities, literature, and songs. As children play with and talk about colors, their awareness and knowledge about the world is enhanced.

Intro to Folktales

A necessity in every child’s life; children experience wondrous tales that teach about humanity, morality, responsibility, ages long past, civilizations changed and evolved.  This course is taught through the use of stories, pictures, food, song, clothes, puppet shows, and acting.  Children gain greater moral understanding, stronger reading skills, and experience a safe place to “enact their desires and to fulfill their wishes.”
