After-School Programs
2018-2019
Beit Rabban is excited to offer a range of after-school programming for the Gan and
Kevutzot. Each class and instructor has been selected to provide our students with
opportunity for engaging sessions that will stimulate their minds and bodies after a full day
of regular study. Supervised and coordinated by the school, we believe these programs will
enhance your child’s day with the opportunity to pursue a special interest, to interact with
peers from a range of age cohorts, to acquire new skills, and to have a great time! Each
program is run by a knowledgeable and qualified instructor and all participants are
covered by the appropriate insurance carried either by the program provider or the school.
To better assist families in making plans for their children, you will find information about
the entire year’s offerings below.

and ball manipulation within different sports. In addition, we'll
participate in active physical education and recess games (think Sizzle
Ball, Switch, Castle Ball, What Time is It Mr Fox, etc). The main

Dinosaurs! Flying, chomping, or stomping around - at home or in the Natural History
Museum - who doesn’t love dinosaurs? Our junior paleontologists will learn about a
different dinosaur each week. Through dramatic
play, hands-on sensory exploration, and creative
projects, we’ll create each dino’s unique skeleton
and learn how they moved, what they ate, and lots
of other exciting facts. Students will develop habits
of scientific exploration, prediction and revision,
teamwork, and self-identification as young
scientists - while having a blast (from the past)!

snake, walk on all fours like a dog, roar like a lion,

hero! Class focus is less on the particulars of yoga
alignment and more on experiencing the joy of
exploring something new, stretching to new limits,
cooperating with others and having fun in the
process! Using music & movement Kathryn designs
her kids yoga classes to enhance your child's physical
skills, including coordination, spatial awareness, balance, self-regulation, and flexibility of
mind and body.
