In case you have not received our bi-monthly newsletter or checked out our website, the Virginia Discovery Museum wants to make you aware of several late fall events that are taking place. On October 29th, the museum will be hosting our annual Halloween Party from 6-7:30. Register now and come dressed in your best costume! This event, for children ages 2-7 with an adult, is $10 for members and $12 for non-members. Get ready for a howlin’ good time as you enjoy spooktacular crafts, games, a Mad Scientist Lab, and more!
On November 1 from 9-12, special guest instructor, Meg Heubeck, from the UVA Center for politics Youth Leadership Initiative, will be presenting a Teacher Workday Program: Count Your Votes! The program, geared towards children ages 4-7 and is $30 for members and $35 for non-members, will involve reading books about voting, making a button to share one of your child’s important ides for improving our country, and more!
Starting in December, the Virginia Discovery Museum will devote two Saturdays, the 11th and the 18th from 10:30-11:30, to Holiday Houses, in which kids ages 4 and up with an adult can get into the holiday spirit and decorate pre-assembled houses with icing, marshmallows, candy canes, and loads more yummy treats.
In addition to these fantastic and fun fall events and our usual Drop-in Programs such as StoryTime Tuesdays, Poetry Club, Toddler Time, and Magic School Bus Science Club, we have several pre-registration programs in partnership with local organizations
One such program is Speak! Language Class, which runs from November 3 – December 15. After the success of the language classes over the summer, Speak! Language Center presents European Vacation, in which they explore the languages and cultures of Italy, France, and Spain. Each session includes an interactive language lesson (songs, stories, and games) and an introduction to the culture of each country. Children can Flamenco dance in Spain, discover the artistic wonders of the Louvre in Paris, and order a rainbow of gelato flavors in Italy! The Speak! Language Classes will be on Wednesdays at 3:30-4:45 and welcome kids ages 5-9. The class is only $100 for members and $120 for non-members. Sign up today!
Another summer program that will start November 5 – December 17 is Hollywood Theatre Lab, which also requires pre-registration. Lana Young will teach children how to perform while exploring their imagination in a safe and fun environment. Fun and focused exercises teach children how to listen to their scene partners and build communication skills. They will learn basic stage technique, how to break down scripts, and how to find their objective as the character. The goal – teaching life skills through acting – is to build self confidence while showing children how to find truth in a character. The Hollywood Theatre Lab classes, only $90 for members and $110 for non-members, take place on Friday afternoons at 3:30-4:30 and accept children ages 6-8.
Register for these programs soon as space is limited and don’t forget about Date Nights on Friday nights from 5:30-8:00. Enjoy a night on the town while your kids revel in an evening of activities, dinner, and lots of free time to play in the museum. We are eager to see the kids participate in the weekly programs and we welcome any feedback from our visitors. Please contact us anytime for information and questions. We wish everyone a happy October and hope to see you for the programs.
