New Year Happenings at GW&W

Even on the coldest days of winter we are staying warm and having fun at Greensboro Wonder & Wisdom. This month we are spending our Mondays 'creating space' (making our program space our own-unique, safe, fun, and attractive!) We are recovering couches and chairs, making window treatments, braiding a rug, creating mandalas and a most wonderful quiet space...come in and see! On Tuesdays we are working on an Inter-generational Oral History Project. We just received some support for the Vermont Humanities Council for this project and we are very excited to learn together the history of Greensboro, particularly during the 1960's and 1970's! Talk with us about sharing your experiences or getting in touch with someone you know who has stories. On Wednesdays we are moving! We received a generous grant from the Henderson Foundation which is allowing us to bring in a number of special musical guests and we will be doing some fun movement activities. Cody Michaels will be visiting us on a number of occasions to play the piano while the children explore different types of expression- poetry, yoga, and drawing. We hope to connect with other local musicians as well! On Thursdays we are looking at nutrition and what we put into our bodies. We will be examining the ingredients in the food we eat, exploring how we use carbohydrates and proteins, and what our individual daily requirements are. On Fridays we are going to be working on reading projects. Along with visits to the library, we will be forming reading discussion groups and practicing reading out loud. Feel free to contact us for more information about our children's activities!
