Union Project is excited to introduce several new classes, two that begin this week! Annie Thibadeau (thibada@gmail.com) is teaching a *yoga and meditation class * meeting Thursdays from 6:00-7:00 pm in the atrium. She welcomes all ages and experience levels to her donation-based class. Annie, who has been exposed to many types of yoga, says her style of yoga falls under the umbrella of Hatha; it has elements of Kundalini and there is a vinyasa flow aspect, but poses are held for several breaths. Her class focuses on loving your body and bringing balance to your life through yoga. Nicole Burtch (coleycue@gmail.com) will be teaching three Spanish Classes: - An *Adult Conversation Class*, geared for beginners with little or no Spanish experience, will meet in the board room *8 Wednesdays from 5:30-6:30 pm, March 16th through May 4th*. The class will be primarily conversation-oriented; however, it will also include vocabulary introduction, pronunciation and grammar taught in context. The class will focus on important topics in every-day life in a Spanish-speaking environment, at a basic level. Lots of role-playing, interaction and individual attention in this small group format. Vocabulary lists provided for each lesson. $12/class session. - A* Children's Spanish Class* (ages 4-8) will meet for* four Saturdays, April 2 through April 23, from 2:30-3:30 pm in the board room*. Through theme-based literature, puppets and songs, children will learn Spanish vocabulary, basic sentence creation, question answering and more! Each lesson is structured and includes a variety of introductory, pre-reading, post-reading and closure activities in Spanish. Children will also learn basic greetings and introductions, weather, calendar/date, numbers and alphabet in each lesson. Vocabulary lists and song lyrics provided so Spanish can be practiced at home! $10/session. - A *Spanish Enrichment Class* (ages 8+), will meet in the board room from* 5-6 pm for 8 Mondays, April 4 through May 23*. This class provides an introduction to the Spanish language and culture to upper elementary, middle and high school students who do not have Spanish classes at school or who would like to supplement the Spanish that is already available to them. Through a variety of speaking, listening, reading and writing activities, students will learn the essentials of Spanish and create a solid foundation for further language study. The focus is to keep the class fun and the learning large! $10/session. *Do you have an idea or skill you would like to share?
