		<title>Exhibit Opening: Secrets of Circles</title>
		<link>http://boston.parenthood.com/event/exhibit-opening-secrets-of-circles.html</link>
		<description>Circles are pretty amazing shapes. If you look around, you’ll see that they are everywhere: in the wheels of a car, the clock on the wall, the tortillas on your table, and the Frisbees and tops you play with. Secrets of Circles invites visitors to climb into a circular boat, play and pretend in a market full of circles from around the globe and make objects spin using colorful gears. Developed by the Children’s Discovery Museum of San Jose, Secrets of Circles inspires children and adults to ask questions and investigate the answers as they explore the math, science, and engineering of circles. Exhibit runs through Sept. 8.</description>

		<title>Maud Morgan Arts Summer Classes</title>
		<link>http://boston.parenthood.com/event/results.php?id=3362672</link>
		<description>“Kids and clay go together like peanut butter and chocolate,” says Maud Morgan Arts ceramics teacher Tiffany Playford. When the summer heat strikes, students at Maud Morgan Arts have the opportunity to dip their hands into cool, slippery clay every weekday afternoon under the guidance of Playford and her colleagues-in-clay. However, clay is only half the story. Students in the 5th through 9th grades enjoy two hours of ceramics and two hours of drawing, painting sculpture or printmaking taught by professional artists every week. Come build a pop-up book, personalize a t-shirt or make a kite that can really fly. </description>
