ARTiculate the fun!

Whether your child would enjoy tilling the fields outdoors or creating a unique art project, Wyckoff Farmhouse Museum is the place to be this month.

Geared to young children, ages 4 to 10, Wyckoff’s ARTiculate series is a drop-in family program that offers kids a chance to explore art, read books, learn about the farm and history through stories and using fine art materials.

On Aug. 5, from noon to 2 pm, ARTiculate kids learn about immigration in “Coming to America,” the story of Pieter Wyckoff, who made his way from the Netherlands as an indentured servant to become a wealthy man in 17th century Breukelen.

On Aug. 26, from noon to 2 pm, participants learn about children who had big dreams and worked hard to achieve their goals in “The Sky’s the Limit: Big Dreamer.” After story time, children will create their own masterpiece using acrylic paint on fabric and link the squares together to create a family dream quilt.

The Farm and Garden Camp is offered for children, 7 to 11 years old, that want to learn how to till the land and grow a beautiful garden. Sessions are offered on Aug. 8, 22, and 29, from 10 am to 1 pm. Parents and guardians are welcome to join their children in gardening.

Fee for the ARTiculate program is $8 per child (and it includes admission to the museum for the whole family); and it’s free for museum members and Cool Culture Families. The Farm and Garden Camp is offered free, and registration is recommended.

Speakitaly NYC

SPEAKITALY NYC offers stimulating and entertaining lessons for children 0 to 16 years through a wide combination of activities based on the communicative approach anchored in the Common European Framework of Reference: active learning (group work, role plays, etc.) and practice exercises aimed to improve listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills. Kids will start speaking and using Italian in a very natural way.&nbsp; Small classes capped at 6 students to make sure each one gets the needed attention and facilitate learners' progress.&nbsp; Our method is driven by a didactic method that is the result of constant updates, professional certifications and more than 10 years of experience in working with non-native speakers from different native languages and levels of knowledge. Our aim is to develop a range of Italian language skills while improving accuracy that will enable the students and participants to interact without stress or feeling rushed. We want to help those in the community really embrace not only the true culture in Italy but the Italian culture within New York City&hellip; Who doesn&rsquo;t love what Italy represents in the kitchen, in history &amp; in the arts? Speakitaly wants to support multilingual families who want to learn a new language or pass along their ancestor&rsquo;s heritage and culture. Raffaella, the founder said: "We see language awareness and intercultural sensitivity as the milestones for an inclusive society. Italian, like all other languages, is an enrichment and a growth in every way. Vi aspettiamo!"
