Tweens (kids aged 8-12) will learn the basics of cursive handwriting in our monthly classes. These classes will teach simplified or modern cursive, which is more approachable and practical while still being more formal than print handwriting. By the last class, students will be able to read cursive words and write their names, full sentences, and short paragraphs in cursive.

Join us on Fridays at 1PM to craft and chat. We focus on knitting and crochet and make items to donate to local charities.
We are happy to help old and new crafters with their projects, but this is not a formal class.
Please bring your own supplies.
AMY WU AND THE PATCHWORK DRAGON by Kat Zhang Amy loves craft time at school. But when her teacher asks everyone to make their own dragon, Amy feels stuck. Her first dragon has a long, wingless body, stag-like horns, and eagle claws, but her friends don’t think it’s a real dragon. Then she makes dragons like theirs, but none of them feels quite right...None of them feels like hers. After school, a story from Grandma sparks new inspiration, and Amy rounds up her family to help her. Together, can they make Amy’s perfect dragon?
