Warm up your voices and stretch out those fingers! Get ready to rock with the South School Guitar Club! Guitar Club is open to 1st and 2nd graders interested in learning how to play the guitar. We will focus on developing playing techniques and music reading skills at a beginning level. Guitar Club meets once a week during each session in the music room and guitars are provided.
Join us at 8:00 am for 40 minutes of fun math games and cooperative learning. First and second grade students will participate in fun and engaging set of activities, in the course of which they will refine and sharpen their arithmetic and logic skills. This is a great way to start the week!
The native plant garden club will provide students with opportunities to have hands-on experiences in the outdoors. Students will learn about the environmental benefits of an Illinois native plant garden and develop an appreciation for nature. In the fall, we will observe and keep a journal of the natural changes in the garden while caring for the school grounds. We will maintain the garden by weeding, planting, watering and collecting seeds. Class participants will create art projects that will foster memories of their natural experience.

Join in for earth-friendly activities. Recycle club members will do hands-on projects that relate to our three R’s: reduce, reuse, recycle. First and second graders are encouraged to join in this monthly group to help our school and the environment.
This is the South School Garden Club’s second year! The purpose of this club is to learn about making healthy choices, develop a connection with the natural world, and build relationship skills. In the spring, students will work together to plant, maintain, and harvest their very own vegetable garden in our courtyard. Lessons will focus on the growth cycle, parts of the plants, and health benefits of vegetables. Students will grow tomatoes, beans, herbs, lettuce, spinach, radishes, peppers, butternut squash and blackberries. At the end of our session students will enjoy a salad from the garden!
Come and join in our South School Spanish Club! First and second grade students will expand their knowledge of the Spanish language and culture. Join in the fun as students sing, play vocabulary games, make cultural crafts and explore Spanish software. The club meets at 8:00am, 1 day a week in the South School LLC.
What a wonderful way to start a Friday morning! Children will learn a playful version of Pilates, relaxing Yoga poses, and participate in creative movement games. Pilates and Yoga can help children in many healthy, positive ways: Body awareness, mental concentration, injury prevention, strength and flexibility, self-esteem and confidence, coordination and balance…and it’s FUN!
