Chocolate syrup, whipped cream, and ice cream
--- is there a more perfect combination?! Families enjoyed relaxing on a beautiful day (there were many comments about it being a rare day that we don't have family events without it being 100 degrees
--- we're looking at you, Fall Festival!). It was so nice for busy moms and dads to enjoy lunch during the week with their children and Fairmont family friends. And it was so wonderful to be able to top it off with yummy ice cream! We're already looking forward to next year!

Book Lovers Workshops
Do you love reading? Be sure to check out our new summer classes offered at Fairmont Anaheim Hills for all of our insatiable readers. Mrs. Harmon (AHC) and Ms. Harmon (HAC) will lead both workshops.
Book Lovers Workshop Session 1 Grades 3 --- 5 July 16 --- 19 at Fairmont Anaheim Hills Monday --- Thursday from 1:00 pm to 3:30 pm $200 (minimum of 10 students) |
Book Lovers Workshop Session 2 Grades 3 --- 5 July 23 --- 26 at Fairmont Anaheim Hills Monday --- Thursday from 1:00 pm to 3:30 pm $200 (minimum of 10 students) |
At each workshop, students will share their love of books and reading with each other through both independent reading and literary-based games and activities. In addition to reading, they will hone their creative writing skills by composing book reviews and recommendations in a variety of fun and interesting ways, including crafting alternate endings to their favorite stories and writing postcards from characters' points of view.
Students will be part of a fun and safe online community in which they can explore new books and share their favorites with friends. Additionally, they will step outside of their books with fun activities that might include exploring a book-tasting menu, going on an Amazing Literacy Race, solving a crime scene mystery, or using their critical-thinking skills to free themselves from an Escape Room. Activities will differ in each session, so students who want to double their fun can enroll in both sessions.
Writer's Workshops
Writers and non-writers unite! Have you ever thought about a cool story and couldn't figure out how to put it together on paper? Have you ever experienced something and couldn't quite describe it well? Here's your opportunity to hone those abilities! Students in our writing workshops will engage in a two-week process to conceptualize, plan, draft, publish, and illustrate completed works of literary art. We will dive into different stories, learning about the writing styles of various authors and scavenging the treasure troves of word choice to expand our schema of words. Critical thinking, problem solving, perspective shifts, and research skills are only a handful of the concepts that we will learn and intertwine throughout these two weeks.
Writer's Workshop (2nd and 3rd grades) June 11 --- 23 from 1:00 pm to 3:30 pm Monday through Thursday $325 (minimum of five students) |
Writer's Workshop (4th and 5th grades) June 11 --- 23 from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm Monday through Thursday $325 (minimum of five students) |
