1st period
K-2nd
Holidays: This class will be a unit study on US holidays with a
focus on their history and traditions. It
will include many hands on activities.
Loving Literature: This will be an activity based literature
class. We will read classic children’s
stories and have activities related to the stories which may include things
like lapbooks, games, crafts, etc.
Artistic-al, Scientific-al Adventures: Art meets Science? Who would have known? As students are
learning about famous artists and their works, they will also be introduced to
basic science concepts each week. They will create their own masterpieces and watch
science happen right before their eyes!
The projects will be sent home each week, with an artist bio and an explanation
of the science concept. Supply fee: $5 per student.
Travel Around the World: Come take a journey around the world! We will explore the culture and traditions of
a variety of countries as well as engage in fun hands-on activities like
cooking traditional foods from each country we visit. Supply fee: $5 per student.
Introduction to Cake Decorating: We will learn the basics of
beginning cake decorating from making icing and frosting a cake to learning how
to use basic decorating tools. Students
will have a chance to practice new skills each week which will include such
things as stars, borders, writing, flowers and leaves. We will also explore cupcake & cookie
decorating. Class size will be limited
to 10 students and priority will be given by age and to students who have not previously
taken this class. Supply fee: $20 per student (will include
tools that the students get to keep at the end of class).
Movies as Literature: We will watch 2 or 3 classic movies during
class (TBD at present—under consideration are “Shane”, “The Quiet Man” and “The
Music Man”) to introduce and study the elements of literary analysis. This class
will not only give students the tools to appreciate good books more fully, but
will equip them with the ability to begin to discern underlying messages in
movies rather than simply absorb them.
Roots of Liberty : This class is not just another lecture on the
Constitution. Each week we will view and discuss a portion of a seminar in
which KrisAnne Hall of Liberty First presents the 700+ year history that gave
us our founding documents – proving that our founding documents were not
created on a whim and that they are reliable and relevant. In addition to the
history of the Bill of Rights, KrisAnne presents each of the first ten
amendments in their context - in the words and history of our founders. As you
enter adulthood, it is extremely important to know not only what your rights
are, but why you have them. (No supply fee. A list of optional activities and
reading will be provided for those who wish to supplement this class either for
high school credit or for fun. Also, this
class will be open to 6th graders who are interested in this topic
and advanced discussions.)
2nd period
K-2nd
Missionary Stories: This class will focus on real-life stories of
missionaries, including God's protection, provision and "everyday"
miracles. We'll also study the culture, food, language and geography of the countries
where the missionaries serve.
K-3rd
Superpowers for Success: Want to sharpen some of your Superpower
Skills? This class will help you improve
your superpower skills of making a great first impression (refine your
handshake, make introductions, and dressing the part) and communicating
effectively (interrupting politely, being a good friend, and writing thank you
notes). Naturally you have to keep up your
Super Strength, so we'll learn about setting the table, fun ways to fold
napkins, and what to do when (Ewwww!) you're served a food that is just plain
yucky! We will end the semester with a
Super Party where we can practice our Super Skills!
Bird Nerds: We're going to learn to identify different birds,
construct bird feeders and bird houses.
We'll learn about what owls eat by dissecting owl pellets. We will perform many more
"egg"speriments along the way.
4th and up
Team Sports: This intramural, low-key, class will learn the fundamentals
of several team sports: Flag Football, Slow-pitch Softball and Volleyball. The semester will be broken up into three,
four week periods, concentrating on one sport at a time. Early weeks will be in the classroom
exploring each sport’s history, position names and responsibilities, equipment
requirements, and strategies of the game.
The class will also work on teamwork and other core values (wisdom,
initiative, compassion, self-control, etc.).
The class will then move outside, broken into two teams to play the
sports.
Scripture Art Journaling: Based on the ebook, A Year of Art Journaling, this class is a beginner course in artful
discovery for anyone interested in the creative world of art journaling, with a
focus on creating a weekly page based on a scripture. For the student who wants a way to tap into their
creative reserves in an art form that doesn’t measure results, but instead
encourages discovery and exploration. Supply fee and/or supply list will be
required.
(*** This class is still PENDING final approval***) Ecopolis: This
class is an economics/government resource where each person in the class plays
a part in a simulated town. Students get
a chance to have jobs, make speeches, elect officials, pay taxes, compete in
business and more.
