Hi DSLJ - The Jingle Ride is coming! I hope you can join us for the happiest ride around: you and 100 new friends, many in costume, with motorists and passersby cheering you on instead of cursing at you :) You definitely don't have to be a hard-core cyclist to join this ride - though it helps if you remember the words to Deck The Halls. See below for details.

If you've been on the ride before, please note the starting point is under new ownership. It's now called the Kickstand Cafe, and the owners are very bike-friendly!

Happy December riding everyone!
-Karin T, who has Christmas lights on the trailer year-round

I've been trying to get my two older kids (aged five and three) into martial arts classes since summer, and I was wondering if anyone has a local place that they'd recommend. I'm interested in any place in the area that is good and teaches small kids, though I do have a preference for a place that is based in Chinese traditions as my MIL is offering to pay for "Kung Fu" lessons, and she is Chinese (and old enough to have bad memories of the Japanese occupation).

I know Davis Square Martial Arts would seem to be the ideal solution, but my kids have been on their waiting list since July. They recently offered me a spot for the three year old, but it was on a day I'd told them we could not make when I signed up for the waiting list. I have become frustrated, so I'm asking what other options in the area people might recommend.

The folks at Donor's Choose forwarded this project to me, and I figured I'd signal boost... Mrs. Karlin at Somerville High School is looking for 45 copies of Catcher in the Rye for her kids to keep, highlight, mark up, cuddle with, etc. There's a ton of worthy projects in the area, but this one's special to me because I've always been a fervent re-reader and was privileged enough to grow up in a home with books readily available. I think this project could make a big difference in the kids' education and, for those who really get something from the book, it would let them keep it and re-read it long after the class ends. I don't think I can say enough about how much books saved my life during some hellish times as a kid. Anyways, the link's above, and you can donate literally any amount. If the project isn't funded, the money is "given back to you" to spend on another project (I don't think they recredit it to your credit card). Check it out.

We're interested in enrolling our daughter in an after-school Spanish program. We've been looking at Morgane Mathew's Language Studio.

1) Does anyone have experience there to share? Comment or message me, please.

2) The class-size minimum is three and at the moment our daughter is the only one interested in the Monday afternoon class. If anyone else has a K-2 kid who would like to join us, please let me know, or contact Morgane directly.

Thanks!

A while back, someone posted here about a Twitter-like bird pasted in the window at 316 Highland. Well, it was more of a Magpie-like bird, and they announced today that Magpie Kids will open there soon.

Wow. This is actually a pretty big deal for the city. I'm not even joking; it pulls in families, nerds, you name it.

Registration is open for summer camp!

We are very excited to be reopening enrollment for our summer camp programs! Due to popular demand, we have expanded our programming this summer to TWO locations -- our new storefront space at 577 Somerville Ave and Kesher at 13 Garden Court (right across the street), where we'll be all summer long, building stuff, making things, crafting, and taking things apart. We hope you'll come check us out!

Camp is open to kids ages 7-13 and runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. from July 1 to August 30. Sliding scale options are available for all sessions. Early and late care are available from 8:30 – 5:30 (cost is posted on the links below). For details or to register, visit www.partsandcrafts.org, or email contact@partsandcrafts.org.

Open Shop & Hacker Junk Mosaics
Two workshops, Sat. June 8th 1 pm -3 pm & Weds. June 12th 3pm-5 pm
$15-25/workshop, sliding scale

Parts and Crafts, 577 Somerville Ave, Somerville, MA 02144
Details at: http://www.partsandcrafts.org 410-967-5207 /contact@partsandcrafts.org

In Hacker Junk Mosaics, kids use cast-off computer parts to make design choices, experiment with shapes, colors and patterns and explore the interaction of 3D and 2D materials while making an abstract work of art to hang on the wall. As adults, making art from computer parts is not only fun, but we get the extra satisfaction of knowing we are transforming outdated technology and putting valuable materials to use – rather than just sending them to the landfill.

We'll be taking apart computers this Saturday from 12-1 pm -- and from 1-3, putting them back together in awesome compositions! If you're interested in checking out open shop or getting your hands dirty taking apart junk computers and learning a little bit about composition, mixed media and design, this is the workshop for you! Open to kids, families, and curious adults who want to take things apart, see how they work, and make new and interesting things out of them.

We like this workshop so much we're offering it twice in one week! We are also accepting donations of used computer parts -- to drop stuff off or learn more about this event, email contact@partsandcrafts.org

Hope you can make it out!

Well, not quite. But we *are* running summer camp.

It was touch and go for awhile, but we have officially signed a lease and will be staying in Somerville at least through September 15.

If you know of kids want to spend their summer taking apart bicycles, learning to program, making boffer swords, and motorizing everything in sight, look no further! We'll be doing all this and more at 577 Somerville Ave, July 1 through August 31. Registration and details at www.partsandcrafts.org.

In the meantime, if you want to help sweep, donate furniture, or head over to Conway Park for ad hoc games of capture the flag, email us at contact@partsandcrafts.org. We'll be in the space full-time-ish starting May 1. Hope to see you all there!
