SUMMARY:Lilla Skolan

Endast svenska talas under programmet och åtminstone en svensktalande förälder måste vara med barnet under lektionen. Lilla Skolan träffas samtidigt som Svenska Skolan så det passar perfekt för familjerna med barn i både grupperna. Kom och lek på svenska! \nLilla Skolan is a program for Swedish-speaking children ages 3-6. Each event features storytime\, music\, and a craft followed by free play. Lilla Skolan is an immersive Swedish environment\, and at least one Swedish-speaking parent must be with the child during the lesson. Lilla Skolan meets at the same time as Svenska Skolan\, so it’s perfect for families with children in both groups. Come and play—in Swedish! weekly Advanced registration required.

SUMMARY:Svenska Skolan
DESCRIPTION:Svenska Skolan meets weekly on 10 Saturdays from September 12–November 21. \n\nSvenska Skolan is a Saturday morning language and culture program for students aged 7-14 that offers an opportunity for children to learn or practice Swedish in a fun and interactive environment. Instruction is tailored to meet the needs of children at all levels of Swedish. Each week\, students sing\, play\, create and have fun på svenska. \nStudents are split into small groups for focused language time based on Swedish ability and age. We offer two parallel tracks—one entirely in Swedish for those students who speak Swedish at home and one for students new to or in the process of learning Swedish. The first track is language-focused with students receiving instruction entirely in Swedish while the second is culture-based with Swedish language lessons woven as relevant to the curriculum. Svenska Skolan meets for two hours per week with students receiving extra take-home activities for practice at home. Advanced registration required.

SUMMARY:Design and Weave a Repp Band Workshop with Kerstin Neumuller
DESCRIPTION:This course is online and will take place over two days\, Sat\, September 12\, and Sun\, September 13\, from 10 am-12 pm Central Time both sessions. \n\nJoin Swedish textile artist and educator Kerstin Neumüller for two online sessions to design and start weaving a repp band on a small rigid heddle-style band weaving loom. The first session will focus on creating different patterns in woven repp bands\, a style in which warp threads tightly cover the weft threads. Kerstin will share various possible patterns\, providing students with a starting point for designing their band. Students will then use any small rigid heddle-style loom they have on hand and their yarn to prepare the warp and weft for weaving a repp band in the second class. \nThis Virtual class is an excellent option for students needing a refresher on band weaving or anyone who owns Kerstin’s book\, Simple Weave\, but wants to work alongside her live. A wide-ranging discussion of project options\, including small looms\, materials\, and tips for weaving bands\, will take place during work time. \nAdditional information: \n\nThis class has some homework between the two sessions.\nAdvanced registration required.\nMaterials: Students provide their own materials for this virtual class; please see the full materials list here.\n\n  \nPrerequisites: \n\nSkill level: Open to all skill levels\nAges: Suitable for ages 12+.
