WHAT'S INCLUDED

BOOK CLUB

Ask your child who’s their favorite author? Do they know? Is it a person of color? How often is your child engaged in a book? Books not only increase one’s imagination, but they also strengthen the brain and build vocabulary and reading comprehension. Through reading, we can become better speakers and writers. Reading is the most fundamental skill that will prepare your child for future success. During the summer, the C3 crew will be members of a book club. They will read and discuss books by black authors. After reading each book, they will engage in a project aligned with the theme of the book.

VISUAL ARTS

Members of the C3 Crew will observe, analyze, and or create paintings, drawings, videos, designs and crafts that focus on learning about black history, culture, and excellence.

PERFORMING  ARTS

Members of the C3 Crew will read and recite poetry. Choreograph dances, sing, rap, step, and engage in dramatic readings grounded in black history, culture, and excellence.

ATHLETICS

FIELD TRIPS
