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. 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.
The beginner class is perfect for first-time musicians. Students will learn the basics of their instrument and how to read sheet music. The instruments chosen from for class can be one of the following; piano, guitar, mandolin, violin, bass guitar, and ukulele. Other instruments may be possible, ask to find out!
Using the Good and the Beautiful student journals, we will do activities and watch videos on stars, constellations, the planets, the moon, tides and gravity, asteroids, comets, history of astronomy, and space exploration past, present, & future.
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

Logophiles are lovers of words and that’s what this class is all about! Whether you like learning new words, want to further enhance your vocabulary, or simply want to make your vernacular sound more impressive, this class is for you! Each week, students will come to class with five brand new words to share with the rest of the class. We will keep track of all these words on index cards kept in a small box. Plus, students will be challenged to use these words in everyday conversations and writing. Those who can show proof of using these words throughout the week (whether through a writing assignment or a video showing usage of these words) will earn points which will be redeemable for prizes on the last day of class. Students will be able to share about how they used these words with the rest of the class each week—so it gives students a chance to brush up on public speaking and maybe a bit of acting experience as well! This is sure to be a super fun class.
*Please note that the $5 fee is for prizes for the last day of class. Students will need to purchase their own index cards, index card box, and a-z file organizer separately prior to the first day of class.
