Class description
ART: This will be a wonderful experience for any child. All children have active imaginations and love to create, which will be the focus of this class. Children will create age-appropriate projects through painting, drawing, sculpting and building.
CHESS: Children learn many skills playing this game. There will learn the fundamentals of Chess while they increase their vocabulary and critical thinking skills. They will observe and record master chess strategies. Some classes will imitate a chess tournament.
Classes will be taught by Vaughn Bennett. Mr. Bennett has taught chess to students of all ages. He has been teaching for nearly 20 years. He has encouraged many children to participate in local and national tournaments. PLEASE NOTE: WEDNESDAY 3:30 CLASS IS NOW MONDAY 3:30. We apologize for any inconvenience the change may cause
KNITTING: Your child can join the calming and creative world of knitting. In this course, children will learn the basics of knitting at their own pace. Skills include the knit stich, casting on, bonding off, decreasing, seaming and basic troubleshooting. We will do some "knitting math' as we progress. We will also begin starter projects along the way leading to our final goal of a basic hat. No experience necessary, but patience and persistence may be required. Boys are encouraged to join the class as well.
Class is taught by Michelle Koerner an avid knitter, who started as a teenager and one of Eaton's Enrichment Coordinators. She has been sharing her craft with children at Eaton for many years.
SOCCER: JEAP is pleased to offer soccer skills classes provided by DC Way. DC Way's mission is to help develop the game of soccer in the DC area and bring opportunities to all children to play and enjoy the amazing game of soccer. We want to develop bright young athletes and help kids be active and play, all at an affordable cost.
Students will learn soccer skills with Coach Denis Chekuristov. Denis comes from a long tradition of soccer. His father, a professional player, started teaching Denis soccer as soon as he could walk. He also comes from a tradition of education. His mother has taught school for over 25 years. Denis went through the Volgar Gazprom FC youth academy system, played successfully on the collegiate level, was one of the first people to play futsal in his city Astrakhan, Russia. He holds a National Soccer Coaching License for ages 8-12 years old and Coerver Coaching Youth Diploma and regularly attends seminars to improve his coaching skills.
Denis was voted the best sports coach of the 2016 and 2017 by Washington City Paper!
