Cheerleading 5-18yr olds
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.

Beautiful Botany
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.
Beginner Essay Writing
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. We will read in front of class for one of our essays. This is geared toward children who have only a little writing writing experience, or are new to writing. All materials will be provided in class. Students will have to do some reading and research at home.

ABC Literacy Level 2
This semester I am offering private group tutoring at a discounted rate.
ABC Literacy is a reading/spelling class for children with or without a Dyslexia Diagnoses.
We will follow the style similar to the Barton Method of instruction which is similar to All About Reading/Spelling. These are Orton Gillingham based methods which are the suggested method for children with Dyslexia.
This Class is for children who know their letter sounds, and may know some sight words or short words. Level 2 does not dictate age or grade level. I am making levels in case I offer this in the future, then you can choose the next level based on the materials already covered in this class.
These are group classes, however I can offer additional classes individually online throughout the week in my online classroom. Prices vary for individual lessons and group lessons. Please reach out to me for that information via ping or abcliteracy3@gmail.com
