EMH Sports Nerf Dodgeball!

Hello Parents and Guardians:
 
EMH’s most favorite PE class, Nerf Dodgeball, is starting in February. It’s so fun, parents ask to join in!
 
Description:
Nerf Dodgeball is a great cardio sport because of the jumping and dodging. The game also improves hand and eye coordination and quickness.
 
The balls used in this sport are made of a spongy and light plastic material and pose no problem when coming into contact with the students. These lighter weight balls move slower through the air and are easier to dodge.
 
We add several different sizes of balls and variations on the rules to keep it interesting and fun. The rules and regulations of the games will be discussed before each class. 
 
There are four (4) sessions in January and the cost is only $28. If you don’t have an account with us yet, please visit: http://www.emhsports.com/guide. If you already take our classes just log on to register at: http://www.emhsports.com/signup
 
Learn more about sibling discounts for those parents paying out-of-pocket with three (3) or more children at: http://www.emhsports.com/discount/sibs.
 
To find a location near you please visit: http://www.emhsports.com/schedule  - just type in your county choices and click on “search” for the listing of parks. Don’t see one near you, let us know. WE HAVE SEVERAL NEW LOCATIONS OPEN FOR THE SPRING SEMESTER.

Piano Lessons in Rocklin

Piano Lessons (1-3)
Why Learn Piano?
These piano lessons taught by Hannah Yeager, a homeschooled senior, are an easy way for young people to learn how to play a very influential instrument in the music world. Almost every instrument branches from the fundamentals of the piano and learning to read music, play chords, and, eventually, learn how to stylize and write your own music.
What will the students learn to do?
Level 1: Students will learn how to play songs using chords. They will learn to sing as they play, allowing them to learn tempo and some of the basics of music theory.
Level 2: Students will now transition into reading sheet music. The knowledge of finger placement, key names, and tempo will be needed to excel in this level. Students will learn how to read and play sheet music, learn the meanings of note script, and learn what the pedals on the piano do. (If the student is using a keyboard then they will learn how to use the pedal that comes with the keyboard). 
Level 3: Students will learn more complicated sheet music and will now be learning new songs in both chord script and piano music script. What they learn will then translate into writing their own song that they will write using both chords and sheet music. 
Cost
For thirty minutes: $20
For forty five minutes: $30
For one hour: $40
Where
At our home in Rocklin
1921 McKinley ST
Rocklin CA 95765
I can also make arrangements to meet at your home if you live in the Rocklin or Roseville area.

LUNCH

An authentic lunch can be fun to prepare. Most children in 1889 brought leftovers to school—meat, cheese and fruit (Placer County grew a large variety of fruits: pears, apples, cherries, etc.). Avoid plastics and pre-packaged items; wrap foods in wax paper or a handkerchief. Some students bring their lunches in baskets, old coffee cans and handmade cloth bags. Some teachers and parents get together to provide beverages for the students. Some purchase bottled root beer, some bring a large container of lemonade and have the children bring tin cups, and others provide jelly glasses.

SAFE (Student Advisors for Education) in Sacramento

SAFE (Student Advisors for Education) is a student community that strives to educate, mentor, and support students, parents and teachers regarding the challenges and strengths of students with learning and attention differences.

SAFE (Student Advisors for Education), founded in 2006, is a student-organized, student-led branch of Parents Education Network and is comprised of more than 50 students from Bay Area public, independent and parochial schools.
In 2006, Jonathan Mooney met and inspired an amazing group of teenage students in the Bay Area. With their outstanding volunteer advisors Brian Thomas, Nancy Cushen White, Frances Dickson and Shafia Zaloom, they meet to share their experiences. They laugh, write, speak on panels, mentor and self-advocate. They are the youthful heart and soul, and, we believe, the future of PEN.

SAFE Sacramento is fortunate enough to have started their own SAFE group in 2013. We hold our meetings monthly in Sacramento. Please choose the SAFE Sacramento events link below to register.
