ELEMENTARY SCHOOL MANDARIN AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM Gr. K-5
@ Otis, Bay Farm & Nea
These sessions are for students trying Mandarin for the first time, as well as
those with some basic knowledge who are trying to develop conversational
ability.
The goal of Language Alive! is to help students develop a positive attitude
toward communicating in Mandarin by involving them in fun and educational
projects. The year is divided into 8 week sessions, with each session
developing language within a theme. Within each theme, students will develop
their ability to communicate through fun and active sports, science, engineering,
and culture projects. Expectations will be different for students depending upon
level and age. For more information go to www.langalive.com
These classes will commence at 3.00pm (*Wednesdays start 2pm). The first 30
minutes will be snack and story time to enable the students time to travel to
class. The main program starts at 3.30pm.
*** These classes are open to all students who attend public school in
Alameda.
BEGINNER/ ADVANCED BEGINNER STRING ORCHESTRA
GR. 1-5 @ Lum School
This program is for any child who is currently taking string music
lessons, even if they are only in their first year. This is an 13week beginner/advanced beginner orchestra experience that your
young string player won’t want to miss! Taking lessons is
important for technique development, but playing with others is
where the joy of music really comes alive. We'll be performing
kid-friendly music (different pieces each session) and will end
with a concert.
Donna Eyestone has been playing the violin since the first grade, and
played throughout college in school orchestras. Donna knows what it
feels like to practice alone, at home, and how much fun it can be to
play music with others. Orchestra builds collaborative, cooperative,
and problem-solving skills that can build positive, life-long habits.
Donna is a community college instructor in multimedia and has won
teaching awards for her engaging and easy-to-follow style that leads
students to understanding not just "how to" but also "why".
Please note: Students must have their own string instrument.
PLEASE DO NOT ASK OFFICE STAFF ABOUT THE ENRICHMENT CLASSES! THANK YOU!!!

MIDDLE SCHOOL MANDARIN AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM
Gr. 5 – 7 @ Bay Farm
SchoolLanguage Alive! gives students a positive learning experience that
captures their creativity. The Language Alive curriculum is organized within
themes so that the students learn and practice conversation using related
language for approximately 8 weeks at a time. Past themes have included
animals, bridges, sports, and financial literacy. Learning outcomes emerge
from different collaborative projects with their peers such as constructing
bridges and using Chinese phrases and vocabulary to explain them, or creating
skits from both everyday and fantasy situations. For example, the students
enjoy acting out practical situations such as shopping for groceries as well as
over-the-top superhero dramas, or skits that address fairness issues they often
experience at school or with siblings. Each day includes a myriad of games and
activities that “teach” the target language for the day through multiple avenues
that give all kinds of learners a chance to succeed. The end result is that they
enjoy learning Mandarin at Language Alive!
TAP - DANCE CLASSES Gr. 1-8
@ Alameda High School Dance Studio (Saturdays)
“ Make Music with Your Feet”

experience. Students are taught basic tap terminology, rhythm,
coordination, & choreography. We will begin the class with warm up
exercises in which students are taught rhythms, timing &
coordination. Then we continue with travel exercises across the floor
a& conclude with learning complex rhythmic combinations & routines

Tap shoes are required
BEGINNER VIOLIN CLASS GR. 1-5 @ Lum School
This is a 13-week session designed for children in 1st through 5th grade
who have never played the violin before. You'll learn about the musical
alphabet, basic rhythm patterns, the proper way to stand and hold the
violin, and best of all play some tunes on the violin! Meant for absolute
beginners - by the end of this 13-week session, you'll have a good sense
of if you want to take private lessons, or in some cases, even join in the
AEF String Orchestra next session.
Donna Eyestone has been playing the violin "on and off" since the first grade,
and played throughout college in school orchestras. Violin can be a life-long
journey and playing music is a way to discover lots of new interests. Her early
years of violin playing consisted of evenings playing lots of folk tunes - it is a
great stress reliever! But the most important skill she learned from playing the
violin is the power of practicing - and that when you stick with something you
get great results - whether in music or any other area. Donna teaches with
positive encouragement, is very approachable, and quickly gets kids playing
songs and not just scales. Please note: Students must have their own violin
