E.L.F. (Environmental Learning for the Future)
Kyffin is excited to once again offer the ELF program this year!
ELF (Environmental Learning for the Future) is a science curriculum run by parent volunteers about 5 times a year (less than once a month). It is a great program, but it needs volunteers to function. Please consider signing up to help with ELF**
**It can only happen if parents volunteer! Signing up today IS NOT a commitment to volunteer for all ELF lessons, it just means you will get the information!
ELF is an opportunity for parents to come in and teach science to their child's class. No need to feel intimidated as the lessons are already put together - plus there are in-depth training videos on the Kyffin ELF Youtube channel for every station. Every parent volunteer is responsible for one station and the class rotates within small groups of kids (5 or 6) through five stations. Each station will include supplies, a training video, and even a script of exactly what to say and how to teach. Even those who don't consider themselves a "science person," still have a blast! The kids really LOVE it when parents are able to come in and help guide the lessons and activities.
Every classroom needs an ELF coordinator to oversee and who coordinates with the teacher to book the dates for the year, sends out emails with a Signup Genius for parents to volunteer for each unit, and helps ensure a smooth running of the classroom ELF unit as a whole. It's a really great program and the kids enjoy having their parents in the classroom with them.
If you have not yet signed up to be a volunteer or even a coordinator, please email kyffinelf@gmail.com you are interested!
