Our local community college has been coordinating after school enrichment classes since our school district cut that program. My elementary school shares a campus with middle school - our side ends 25 minutes before. On Wednesdays, we get out a full hour before the middle school to keep in compliance with our minutes.
In the fall, I am offering a "Handwriting Heroes" class for k - 2 students to practice penmanship and strengthen fine motor for seven weeks. The college contacted me to see if I would want to teach the next session. I've been trying to think what would fly. I offered the Wednesday class because it helps parents with carpooling (the class ends the same time as the middle school). The already have academic chess, Lego engineering, and cooking on other days.
What (if any) enrichment classes does your school offer? I teach first grade, but also teach art classes. I was thinking about Calligraphy for grades 1 - 5, but I don't know if that is passe.
Thanks for your input!!

Maybe call it a craft club so that it sounds fun, but focus on activities that use fine motor skills. I may break it up even further, into painting or sculpting. You may get more boys that way.
