Additionally, members explored scientific concepts through hands-on experiences like melting beads and learning about gardening by planting their own seeds to take home.Physical activity played a significant role this month, with members enjoying games like capture the flag, which promoted teamwork, strategy, and gross motor skill development. Basketball drills led by a staff member who was a former player provided members with mentorship and helped improve their coordination, endurance, and athletic ability.
The TK and kindergarten group had a particularly engaging experience with a sensory play activity, digging through a kiddie pool filled with dirt and objects to learn about fossils and dinosaurs. These activities nurtured curiosity, problem-solving, and hands-on learning in a fun and active way.
The SMART Girls program focused on essential life skills, including hygiene education and healthy eating habits. Members learned the importance of self-care and nutrition while working in teams to plan balanced meals, reinforcing decision-making and teamwork. A highlight of the month was the jungle-themed family movie night, where members helped create decorations, fostering creativity and a sense of community. Events like these bring families together and create a welcoming environment, ensuring members feel valued and engaged. Through a mix of educational, creative, and physical activities, February was a month of growth, exploration, and fun at the Tom Maas Boys & Girls Club.
