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.
In this class we will do a variety of projects using many different materials. I use washable items as much as possible but sometimes we do get messy.

This semester in cheer we will learn a visual pom drill routine. We will make spirit sticks with a scripture on it. We will also learn a modern short cheer routine with tumbling and stunts put to a fun Christian mix.
The ages will mostly be combined this semester so if you have a student 5-9 yrs old, there may be times during class they’ll have to sit out and watch if we’re working on something that needs extra hands and attention by the teachers.
Fee will be for spirit stick materials and new alternate colored poms for routine.

Welcome to botany, where we will have a 13 lesson in depth study about God’s creation of plants. This unit study will include (but not limited to) the life cycle of a plant, parts of a plant, seeds, flowers, trees, leaves, photosynthesis, plant classification, identification of poisonous plants, and planting something of the student’s choice.
Because of the new grade classification, the description will say 4-6 but the curriculum is recommended for 3-6 so I will gladly have mature 8+ kids that are able to read and comprehend complex botany vocabulary.
Join us as we learn the basics of how to organize and prepare an essay. We will dive into how to use a dictionary, thesaurus, and the benefits of both when writing.
