After School Programs
These are fee-for-service classes. Glenview PTA provides scholarships for some
classes for qualifying families. The After-School Enrichment Program packet provides
information on PTA scholarships, applications, cost, and class schedules. This packet
is available from the school office.
Art with Mittie: Experienced artist Mittie Cuetara teaches drawing in a non-competitive
environment. Drawing helps develop abilities in academic areas, as well as improving
focus and concentration. Each week she presents a different topic using guided
drawings. Older children will explore cartooning, creating their own strips on topics of
their choice. Grades K - 5.
Chess: The Berkeley Chess School, a non-profit group offering chess instruction from
elementary through high school, comes to our school to teach the intricacies of chess
to our students. Studies have found that students of chess often excel in reading,
science, and math, and exhibit growth in critical cognitive abilities such as deducing,
hypothesizing, strategic thinking, logic and judgment. Beyond academia, chess
influences social behavior, including self esteem, respect for others, patience and the
old fashioned notion of good manners. Grades 1 - 5.
Recorder: Louise Carslake is a local professional musician who teaches Glenview
students to play the recorder. Students will learn to read music as well as play the
recorder in a small group class. Home practicing is encouraged. Classes are
sponsored in part by the San Francisco Early Music Society. Grades 2 - 5.
Rhythm Rocks: A musical program designed to bring out the creative rhythmic potential
of each child. Exposure to world rhythms, improvisation, body percussion, and drum
circle. Provided by Alan Miguel Hall, teacher at the Jazz school in Berkeley, to grades 1 –
5.
Oakland Youth Miracle Chorus: Students learn the following: singing songs from a
variety of cultures, vocal techniques, historical music tradition, three-part choral singing,
performance readiness, music theory, and working in teams. Miracle Choruses will
perform in OYC's Winter concert on December 2nd. Grades 1 - 5.
Music Game Class: Joe Mumm of Tree Top Piano Studio uses musical games,
puzzles and other hands-on activities to create a fun and exciting learning environment.
Students are introduced to basic music concepts such as group call and response,
rhythmic patterns, musical alphabet, note identification at keyboard and on musical
staff, and basic ear training. Grades K - 4.
Junior Scientists: Junior Center for Art and Science instructor Jenai Driscoll leads
students in hands-on science lessons which explore plant life and the animal
kingdom. The young scientists will be introduced to members of the JCAS Animal
Ambassador Program as they learn about what makes each animal unique. During
these visits students will build scientific skills including observation, classification and
science illustration. Students will also grow plants from seeds which they will later
examine, dissect, and diagram using a special computer microscope. Grades 2 - 5.
Dance: Mama Nubia, dance instructor for close to 25 years, is offering dance classes
for the first time here at Glenview! She has studied modern, jazz, African, hip-hop, Afro-
Haitian, Cuban salsa, Polynesian dances, yoga, and funk aerobics. Children of all ages
are invited to move their bodies to music from around the world.
