Hello Peirce After-School families,
Welcome to our official Arlington After-School Programs blog! This is where you will be able to see updates from us from time to time where we will share what we've got going on in our program, as well as in the other AASP programs. As stated in the previous blog post submitted by Ms. Rachel, Assistant Site Coordinator of the Thompson After-School Program, we are so excited to continue to foster our after-school community here with you on this platform. This week, we have released videos submitted by our teachers at PASP that can be accessed on Google Classroom with tons of fun activities for your children to engage with at this time. Additionally, we have made all of the videos accessible for all families across our various programs, so your children can feel free to engage with all of the wonderful offerings we have at each site - Peirce, Thompson, Hardy, Gibbs, and Brackett Spanish Immersion. Instructions for accessing these videos can be found in a recent email sent to parents!
In other news, our staff has been missing all of our students dearly and wanted to share updates of what we have been up to in the past month...
Ms. Amanda has been going for nature walks, gardening, reading, and doing yoga.
Ms. Gia has been drawing, hiking, practicing jazz standards on piano, studying Russian (я скучаю по всем вам - I miss you all!), making herbal teas, meditating, doing yoga, and connecting with family and friends.
Ms. Rachel has been organizing her house, watching Netflix, eating lots of yummy home-made food, running, biking, rollerblading, playing lacrosse with her family, exploring outside, and most of all, missing all her after-school students!
Mr. William has been leveling up his Dragon Cleric in the game Dragon Nest and rewatching "Xena: Warrior Princess".
Mrs. Kent is reading all about different Irish poets, watching "Father Brown", having great conversations with her family, and walking about two miles every day.
Mr. Jimi is listening to the Lord of the Rings trilogy on audiobook, meditating, biking around Boston, catching up with friends on video-calls, and writing songs.
Ms. Becca has been baking, reading, drawing, dancing in her pajamas, making charms out of clay, and of course, collaging.
Ms. Renee has been cooking, studying languages, playing video games, calling family while on walks, playing Pokemon Go, taking breaks with yoga and pilates, and trying to learn bass - she also misses everyone and encourages all to learn something new or reconnect with something fun!
Ms. Mary has been making things, doing yoga, meditating, and hanging out with family and her dog, Mr. Scooby Doo.
Mr. Alex has been making music, listening to records, running, watching Netflix shows and movies, and cooking up many, many tacos for dinner.
Ms. Elena is reading science fiction books, trying out new recipes to use overripe bananas, meditating, going for walks in nature, making art and music, and doing Zoom dance parties with friends.
Mr. Kris has been spending time with his parents, doing puzzles, playing video games, making music videos, and hanging out with his cat.
Ms. Taylor has been reading, playing Mario Kart against herself, and studying for her pilot license exam!
What have you been doing? Feel free to email us at [email protected] to send us any updates, photos, projects, or even questions from your kids for our teachers to answer! We look forward to hearing from everyone and keeping our community as strong as ever.
Stay safe,
Gia
