2013 Clubs – February 6th to March 20th (6 sessions).
 
"Video-game & Hang Out Club" This club is open to students in pre-school 4  to 12th grade and it will be led by Mr. Knutson. This club is designed to help families who have children doing multiple activities at BIS. In this club students will have a chance to play video-games on a BIG screen (wii, x-box, etc), play cards, do their homework (by themselves without teacher assistance), or simply hang out while their siblings are doing a different club. This way all children can go home at the same time in one vehicle. Students in this club are encouraged to bring a snack in case they get hungry. This club is available to BIS students only.  Cost R$10.
 
Capoeira Club (Tuesday and Thursday) -  This club is open to students in Kindergarten to 8th grade and it will be lead by Capoeira instructor, Aladin,  assisted by Coach Batista.  Capoeira is a Brazilian dance/ martial art developed by the African slaves who helped colonize Brazil in the 1500's. Students will learn the fundamental steps (jinga) of capoeira, along with different songs and moves that make up the capoeira experience. This will be an amazing club and a great Brazilian cultural experience! This club will be offered all year long. Cost: R$75 for once a week, R$90 for twice a week.
 
Art ClubThis club is open to students in Preschool 4 to 2nd grade and it will be lead by Mrs. Priscila. This club will be open to 8 students. They will practice their fine motor skills while working with different types of art materials and learning about different artists. Cost R$75.
 
Basketball club . This club is open to students in 3rd to 7th  grade and it will be lead by Coach Batista.  In this club we will practice the fundamentals and strategies of basketball and play some games against other schools or clubs. The younger students that participated in Ms Dukes' basketball club last semester are welcome to join this club as well.  Cost R$75.
 
Painting club. This club is open to students in 3rd to 6th grade (on Wednesdays) and 7th – 12th grade (on Thursdays). Parents and adults are welcome to join this club on Thursdays.  This club will be taught by artist/painter Toni, who came to BIS last semester and demonstrated his tile painting skills. In this club students will learn from Toni how to draw and paint on tiles. Paint, tiles and other material will be provided. Each student will take their completed art work home. Cost R$100.
 
"BIS is a Christian School... What Are They Teaching My Kid?" club.
Miss Duke will be teaming up with Mr. Axworthy to offer a free club for parents as an introduction to what is being taught in Bible class and what is a Christian Worldview.  All BIS parents and other adults are invited to attend the club.  It will be a safe, learning environment in English that is open to help you answer your questions.  There will be a question box for parents to submit any questions, and we will try to answer them during the club. Cost – free!
