Seekonk Library's October Programs for Children and Families

Posted

Yoga for Toddlers and Preschoolers
Tuesdays, October 2, 9, 16, 23 at 10 am

Yoga poses, mindfulness, and stories for young children. A wonderful and gentle combination of movement and reading.
Toddlers and preschoolers with an adult. Older siblings welcome. Drop in. Program description from Create Power Yoga "Children will learn yoga basics and the importance of compassion rather than competition, deepening self-awareness, and practicing making choices. Class will keep kids focused through age-appropriate play, acting out poses and storytelling. With yoga children become more flexible and build physical strength and body-awareness. Yoga can calm, enhance concentration, and reduce stress. Yoga practice also builds self-esteem by instilling confidence with new challenges and experiences in a compassionate environment.

Science Saturday: Helicopter Aerodynamics
Saturdays, October 6, 20, 27 from 1- 3 pm

Our Science Saturday program is back with a brand new topic – helicopter aerodynamics! Civil Air Patrol educator Oscar Orringer will lead this program over three weeks in October. Students will learn how helicopters and quadcopters operate, build their own quadcopter, see a demonstration of how “lift” works, and have a contest to see who has the fastest quadcopter!
