On the district web site, there is information regarding Super Saturday in District 191. This is an opportunity for children to explore more a topic of interest. The topics vary greatly - from cake decorating to building rockets! (Maybe someone can decorate a cake to look like a rocket...)
I think that this opportunity for kids is wonderful, and should at least be explored by every family. The cost is pretty low ($6.00 for a one-hour class), and the experience is priceless. There is a lot to choose from, and what I like the most about Super Saturday (besides it being on a Saturday, not after school when kids and parents are more tired!) is that it's a one or two-hour commitment...not a six-week commitment to something that the child may or may not end up loving. It's dabbling in something, it can be the opportunity to extend current learning, or give a child an opportunity to spend an hour doing something he or she LOVES to do. It's a win-win situation any way you look at it. For those of you who haven't seen the information yet, Super Saturday will be on November 7th, and the following is the link to register:

Just copy and paste that into your browser. Hope you have a SUPER Saturday!
