The intermediate class builds off of the skills we have previously acquired. Students will continue working with their instrument and furthering their reading ability. Music theory will be incorporated in a more in depth way. Also, fun songs! All previous students should be in this group.
Time: 10:45 AM
Public Speaking
We will cover different kinds of public speaking, how to create a fluid speech, how to connect with an audience, and we will write a number of speeches of different kinds and perform them in front of the class.
My goal for this class is to give the students a foundation they will be able to pull from whenever they’re asked to create a talk in the future, whether it be for a job, church, wedding, etc.
I only limited the class size so the students would have time to deliver speeches.
High School Personal Finance
We will be going through Dave Ramsey’s Foundations in Personal Finance High School edition curriculum! I bought the dvds so we can glean as much as possible! There are 12 chapters so we will probably need to do this over both semesters and there may be light at home work to do. Every student will need to purchase the workbook. This will fulfill needed high school personal finance credit!
Me On the Map
Geography/ Social Studies Class
Your child will learn their place in the world around them through songs, books, crafts, and activities!
From website:
Me On the Map is a great early introduction to social studies by giving them an overall picture of how they fit into the larger world. This study guide is compiled of 8 units to help them learn all about their home, street, city, state, country, continent, and planet.
Art History
In this class we will create our own masterpieces inspired by famous artists and explore different art around the world. We will also learn about the the art we are creating with a brief summary/facts about the weeks topic.
Solve It Yourself Mystery
We will be reading through an interactive mystery book, Timmi Tobbson Adventures Solve Them Yourself Picture Mysteries.
Students will have to use their detective skills to unravel mysteries by finding visual clues concealed within both the story and beautiful chapter illustrations.
Don’t Forget To Write
A creative writing class for middle grades! We will practice storytelling, exploring life questions in writing, poetry, mystery, persuasive writing, and more. Come prepared to have fun but also work hard. This class WILL require pencil and paper writing and periods of no talking. 😉 It may also include homework.
Varsity Cheerleading
This fall the cheerleaders will have separate classes. We will focus on students taking leadership roles and having small group talk time about being fearfully and wonderfully made. We will learn scriptures about the confidence we can have in Christ.
We will learn a new stunt and a stomp cheer. We will also get new shirts and vote on a new name.
Ages 9-18
Health from a Vitalistic Perspective
Vitalism… a theory or doctrine that life processes arise from or contain a non-material vital principle and cannot be explained entirely as physical and chemical phenomena.
This class will be an introduction to the philosophy and application of vitalistic principles.
This format of this class will be a somewhat interactive lecture. I’m going to do my best to make it as conversational as I can.
Students should bring something to write with and something to write on if they wish to take notes for future use and reference.
Biblical Worldview
As Christians, we know that God and His Word are unchanging. God is forever faithful and His Word is forever true. What does change is the culture around us. In this class, we will lay the foundation for seeking truth in all aspects of life, with the goal of helping children see that everything we find in the world around us aligns with the worldview presented in Scripture. The goal of this class is to understand and live out the truth, goodness, and beauty of the Christian worldview.
Each class will include a short video, activity to ensure understanding, scripture memory, and play.
