Mindful Parents & Educators – Registration for Fall 2017 MP&E intro course is open. We offer remote participation through Skype as well as drop-in punch cards for those who have completed the intro course.
We are DELIGHTED to announce our new Movement Pop-Up coming this fall.
What is a Pop -Up?
A U Play Pop-Up is a mobile play-lab experience that “pops up” around the Ann Arbor area. Early friends of the U School will remember several pop-ups from before we opened U Learning at places like the Ann Arbor Art Center, Maker Works and Wheeler Park. Learn more here.
U Play Pop-Up – Movement!
September 23, 2017 10am-12pm
Bandemer Park (near the disc golf course), Ann Arbor, MI
Suggested $10 donation per family.
This U Play Pop-Up experience for children, families, and community members is all about moving and physical fitness. Show up anytime between 10am-12pm and, as a family, travel the 0.5K trail loop with three movement experiences and challenges throughout. On the trail everyone will have the opportunity to try out some of the U School students’ favorite movement activities. Our expert teachers will be coming in to share their talents, enthusiasm, and knowledge, and we cannot wait for you to meet them. At the end, participants will receive an achievement token as well as some “power up” snacks.
At the Pop-Up you will be able to try…
