In the Art Creators Class, students in grades K-3 explore their creativity through hands-on art activities designed to spark imagination and build confidence. Each session introduces young artists to fun techniques using a variety of materials such as paint, clay, paper, recycled materials, and natural objects. Students will experiment with drawing, painting, collage, sculpture, and simple printmaking while learning how colors, shapes, and textures can work together to create unique artwork. Activities may include creating colorful paper mosaics, designing animal sculptures with clay, painting with unusual tools, making nature-inspired art, and building imaginative creations from recycled materials. The class encourages curiosity, self-expression, and collaboration. Children will have the chance to share their ideas, explore different artistic styles, and proudly take home their creations. No prior art experience is needed—just a willingness to try new things and have fun making art! This class is a welcoming and playful environment where every child can discover the joy of creating.

Seward Bike Sharks: a bicycle maintenance and repair program     Who's ready to get greasy?!? Did you know Seward has an entire room filled with bike tools and designed for bike repair? We are bringing back a Seward mainstay with the return of the Mondo bike shop, open to any E2 students. We especially encourage 6th grade families to sign up. Our purpose will be two-fold: to share bicycle maintenance skills with students that they may learn hands-on life skills, and to maintain Seward Montessori's wonderful bike fleet, which all E2 students use in the Physical Education bike units, led by Mr. Nicolas. So, we are learning, and also giving back to our community. Your student should be advised that 1. this is a program where we will likely get messy and dirty, so don't wear your fanciest clothes, and 2. this is a pilot project, bringing back a former tradition, and therefore the first couple sessions will be spent sorting, organizing, doing inventory, and yes, working on bikes. GO SEWARD BIKE SHARKS!

Students are encouraged to bring their own helmet and water bottle. Bikes will be available for students who do not have access to a bike from home.
