"Hang Out Club" -  This club is open to students in Preschool  to 12^th grade and it will be led by Mr. Knutson along with parents who volunteer. This club is designed to help families who have children doing multiple activities at BIS. In this club students will have a chance to do their homework (by themselves without teacher assistance), or simply hang out in the computer lab, use the internet, play cards, etc… 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 -  This club is open to students in Kindergarten to 12^th grade and it will be lead by Capoeira instructor, Aladin,  assisted by Ms. Raquel.  Capoeira is a Brazilian dance/ martial art developed by the African slaves who helped colonized 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 cultural Brazilian experience!

Our teacher Aladin and his group once again put on a great show, and we even had a special guest, Mestre Zulu. Zulu is a master of Capoeira and one of the biggest names of Capoeira in Brazil and in the world. We were honored to have him in our "roda de capoeira" and our kids had a great time doing Capoeira with him. Every BIS student that completed the Capoeira club received a certificate at the end of the event. Special thanks for our teacher Aladin for all his hard work and support. We will offer more capoeira clubs in August... : ) 

students receive certificates
