The most FUN time of year!!

We have been having SO much fun this month with our holiday themed lesson plans!! It is our favorite time of year - as well as our students. We just wanted to take a minute and let you know how thankful we are for all of you......our student's families. We feel very blessed to be given the opportunity to work with your little ones. Thank you! We hope you have a wonderful Christmas and many blessings in the upcoming year!!

Happy Fall Y'all

With the leaves changing and a chill in the air, we are enjoying the change in season here in Charlotte. We are excited to still meet new faces each week with new registrations. We are growing like pumpkins on a vine. Here's a fun pumpkin pantomime for the spirit of the fall. Enjoy!






Jack o' Happy

This is Jack o' Happy (make a happy face)
This is Jack o' Sad (make a sad face)
This is Jack o' Sleepy (make a sleepy face)
This is Jack o' Mad (make a mad face)
This is Jack in broken pieces small. (open up hands)
Baked in a pie he's best of all. YUM, YUM! (rub tummy)

Off to a great start!!

We are off to an amazing start here in Northern Virginia! September flew by so fast, it feels like we were just having registrations and now classes are well underway. Our classes are filling up fast but we have a few openings left, so don't let your child's friends miss out!!

Speaking of time flying by-One of coolest things about being with certain schools for so long is getting to teach the younger siblings of some of my former students. I remember when some of these dancers were in the infant room and now they are in classes with personalities and voices, it is so fun to watch these dancers grow. Before I know it, it will be the last class before they go off to kindergarten!!

It is such a pleasure to teach your children and introduce them to the arts, even for a short period of time, thanks for giving me that joy everyday!!

Happy Fall,

Ballantyne Preschool of the Arts

We are excited to be a part of the Ballantyne Preschool of the Arts. The new preschool's curriculum combines traditional education with the arts. Children are taught math, science, reading, writing and social skills in a creative environment that integrates visual arts and the performing arts of dance, drama and music. LPCW's curriculum fits in nicely with their education objectives. We are thrilled that an opportunity like this is being provided for preschoolers in our area. It gives them an exposure to the arts while learning. How much fun!! We look forward to an exciting year here.

Dancing is AWESOME!

Things are going great here in the Triangle!! We have been having so much fun in our first week of classes! I love meeting all the new students. We have a great group a little movers!

Today, one of my four year old friends told me, "Mrs. Summer, this class is my favorite part of the day! Dancing is AWESOME!" I have to agree with her, dancing is always my favorite part of the day too!

And We're Off!!!

We are getting off to a great start in the Charlotte region. DEMOS, DEMOS, DEMOS!! Every child enrolled at all of our Charlotte centers will have a chance to try out our classes this week. We already have children registered and our classes are filling up fast, so don't miss out on the fun!! We are starting out our year with the wonderful "Wizard of Oz". This is bringing much excitement. For example, we stretch in our straddle position with "Storm Rocks". We rock from side to side in the terrible tornado with Dorothy and land like the house in the middle for a really good stretch. So, "Follow the Yellow Brick Road" to LPCW. We are thrilled to be starting our 2011-2012 year.

Look for us soon on the Charlotte Mecklenburg School's approved vendor list. We could be coming to a school near you!!
