Short Stories
Week-Long Club
Why do some people write books that have numerous chapters and pages while others write stories that are less than ten pages long? What is the difference? Are they even worth reading if they contain so little? You bet! In this club, we will examine what makes short stories special and how so much can fit into stories that may be as short as four sentences long!

Under the Sea
Week-Long Club
Have a child who’s really a mermaid or merman at heart? Dive into history to find the first claims of merpeople existence and how they came to be. Explore water nymphs and selkies and their importance in mythology, as well as their relation to mermaids. It’s high tide that we take a look at mermaid geography—fish don’t look the same everywhere, so mermaid’s certainly don’t either! Discover how mermaids adapt to their climates as fish do, and how different they look because of it. Get ready for some hands-on activities (thank goodness we don’t need feet!) to design a tail, create some beautiful slime, and put the sea in a bottle. Join this swimming adventure, and discover merfolk and mythology like you never have before!
Materials Needed:
Oil and Elmer's glue
Green and/or blue food dye
Plastic or glass bottle with a top
Borax
Colored pencils
Doll with long hair, brush, and hair ties
