Games and Sportsmanship

We've just wrapped up April’s theme of “Games and Sportsmanship” which focused on what different games and sports can teach us about ourselves and each other. We spent the first few weeks focused on learning about good sportsmanship, teamwork, and games that can teach us about cultures around the world. We wrapped up our theme by experiencing some athletic games and creating our very own unique Heart House Olympics!

Special Guest Highlight:

Journalist Nick Boeglin visited Heart House North recently to help facilitate a Fun Friday called “In the Newsroom”. Both he and our Program Leader, Ms. Emily, dressed up to get the kids excited about feeling like real journalists, working on various news stories.

We love special guests at Heart House! In the past, we've had everyone from ballerinas to slam poets to Scuba Steve visit us. You're invited to join us one day after school to share your talent and passion with the children. If you would like to be a special guest or organize a special project with your friends, please let us know.
