You’ve heard of Serena and Venus… now meet Ruby and Nicholas! These siblings take Tennis at the J with Pro Joe Reagan.

The Calienes family takes advantage of lots of JCC programs – from Preschool (when Nicholas was little), Personal Training, Group Ex, Specialty Fitness to Swimming.

“The JCC is a motivating, nurturing and family environment. From our welcome in the morning at the front desk to participating in the Dreidel Dash and Triathlon, we couldn’t be more grateful.”

Tae Kwon Do Tae Kwon Do is the popular Korean martial art known for its dynamic kicking techniques. Kids learn skills and techniques in a safe, fun environment. Each student is looked at as a unique individual and as a member of a team. The skills taught are progressive with built-in incentives for students to achieve success and maximize potential.

• Beginner students are introduced to a combination of kicking and punching techniques, self-defense and forms. The training also includes mental skills that improve memorization.

• Intermediate to Advanced students are challenged with more complicated mental and physical skills, including advanced forms, self-defense techniques and the study of musculoskeletal systems and history of martial arts.

• Advanced students prepare for demonstrations and competitions by learning advanced self-defense techniques, forms and weapons training (Bo Staff, Kamas and Nunchuks).

A uniform and sparring equipment can be purchased from the instructor and is mandatory for testing purposes. Tournament participation is not mandatory.

NEW

Ellen Bartlett and her family joined the JCC about 2 years ago, after moving to Marblehead from New York City. She heard from good friends that the J’s Early Childhood program is the best around, so she visited and enrolled her daughter, Emilia. Now they’re here almost every day!

“I try to work out every week day after I drop off Emilia at preschool. My favorite classes are Barre and TRX. I’ve even started Spinning! Each instructor has so much energy – they motivate me while making it fun.

“We never go home when I pick up Emilia. We stay after school most days and get together with great friends by the pool, playground or gym, depending on the weather. The JCC has helped us so much! It’s a safe, creative learning environment for Emilia and a place to make great friends that we will cherish for life.”

10 Sensory Activities to Keep Your Child Busy This Winter!

Children love to get messy! Here are 10 ideas to get their creativity going by exploring texture, temperatures and fun.

1. Water Play: Fill up a big container with water, spoons and pails and let your child experiment.

2. Goop: Mix corn starch and water to make your own goop. You can add food coloring, too. Children will love the feel and watching it drip.

3. Fingerpaint: Buy fingerpaint or make your own. Children can use their fingers or even paint with toy cars and/or Legos.

4. Colored Ice Cubes: Put a drop of food coloring in each ice tray section and later, let your child paint with the colored ice.

5. Shaving Cream Art: Shaving cream feels great on your fingers, you can add food coloring, too. This can be done directly on a table or on paper as an art project.

6. Sticky Paper Art: Young children enjoy the stickiness and you can add paper, cotton and all kinds of scraps to let your child create.

7. Rice Play: Put rice either on an activity tray or in a container and give your child funnels, cups, toys, etc. to explore. For older children, you can use a toy scale and weigh different amounts of rice.

8. Playdough: This is another item you can buy but is even more fun to make. A great project for you and your child to do together and then get creative.

9. Silly Putty: You can make your own. Mix 1 part liquid starch to 2 parts glue. I use 1/4 cup of starch and 1/2 cup of glue, which makes 2 large balls of silly putty.

10. Sand Play: Exploring with sand is relaxing for many children and can keep your child busy for hours. Start with dry sand and add a little water for more variety.
