Wellness
if you are interested in introspective movement, you will like this class. the Feldenkrais method is an educational system centered on movement. it aims to expand and refine the use of the self through awareness. you will often be lying down yet sometimes sitting, kneeling or standing. you will be outwardly moving the whole time, while simultaneously exploring a given inward focus. you will also learn more about anatomy. Feldenkrais increases your awareness of yourself. over the sessions you are likely to find that you are more relaxed, nagging pains are diminishing, you are feeling more limber and energetic and new options are opening up for you. Bring a bath towel to cover the County-supplied mats and, if you desire, a small pillow. (you can take a one-day workshop on Feldenkrais. see more information below).

ATTeNTION POOL LOVeRS!
Arlington County is proud to provide lessons that are based on the Red Cross Learn-toSwim Program. When registering please make sure participants can complete all necessary prerequisites prior to beginning the class. Student who are not at the right level hinder the classes’ ability to function. Everyone progresses at different speeds, so it is typical to repeat courses. Public Health requires pools to close when contaminated. Swim diapers or snug-fitting plastic pants must be worn by anyone who is incontinent. Also please do not eat with 30 minutes of swimming. Children under nine years old must be accompanied by an adult at all times in the building. Children under five must have a guardian in the water with them when class is not in session. If the pool is open for public swim after class, children can swim up to 5 minutes but a guardian must be with them in the water at this time.

signing smart™ strategies integrate more than 130 american sign language signs into songs, games and activities developed to engage very young children and their parents. research has shown that using american sign language with hearing babies and toddlers allows communication and spoken language to happen earlier and faster, while reducing frustration and tantrums. most children have two to three words by 12 months, whereas signing smart™ children typically have 25 signs and 16 words! most children start combining words into two-word sentences by 20 months, whereas signing smart ™ children typically do this by 11-14 months and some as early as six months! the national institute of Health even found a 12-point iQ increase for eight year-olds who used signs as young children. more research, class pictures and family quotes at www.parentChildu. com.
