Welcome all who love running or those who want to try to😂

Board and Card Games – Session 1
Join us for games! There will be a selection of board and card games to choose from each week. Students are welcome to bring a favorite game from home as well!
Cantering the Country
Students will learn about the USA, prominent historical landmarks, people, and other details regarding each state individually. We will taste test some of the states finest cuisine 😉 Students may be asked to make a food item to bring to class to share with others to practice reading and making items from a recipe.
If students have taken this course prior, we will be using the same States book. If your child is new to the class, they will need to purchase the state book with stickers. Please contact me if your student needs a book so I can purchase them all at once.
Little Learners
In Little Learners, each week will be a new theme/subject. Most weeks we will follow a structure of listening to a book, working on a craft or activity, and free play stations that fit the weeks theme. Some of the themes may include nursery rhymes, transportation, animals, insects and Dr. Suess.
World Literature (Semester 2 of 2)
This high school level world literature course will focus on great literary works from Germany and Great Britain. It would be a wonderful accompaniment to a world history course. Using Progeny Press study guides as well as The Complete Grimms’ Fairy Tales, we will be reading and studying several original German fairy tales as well as two British novels: Out of the Silent Planet by C.S. Lewis (first half of the semester), and Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson(second half of the semester).  I have used Progeny Press for years and I like how they are written from a Christian worldview and incorporate scripture verses with the novels students will be studying. I will supply both novels and a printed study guide for each book inside a binder. (I will supply one binder with a clear front so you can swap out study guides when we switch novels.)
Students WILL be expected to come to class each week with their Progeny Press study guides completed and prepared to discuss in class. Please do not sign up your student if homework cannot be completed, as this course requires a lot of student participation. The only homework required for this class will be for the British novel portion. There will be a pre-reading assignment and one essay assigned for each book in addition to the weekly study guide assignments. Students will need to begin reading and completing the study guide two weeks prior to the first class. I will also have other fun activities planned for class in addition to the study guides. Completing two Progeny Press study guides is equivalent to a half credit for high-schoolers.
*This is an high school level class yet the grades correlated with these novels are slightly staggered. Â Out of the Silent Planet is listed for grades 9-12 and Treasure Island is listed for grades 7-10. Â Obviously you as the parent can make the judgment call with this.
**Please note, aside from reading some short fairy tales, students will not have written homework for the German literary side of this class. All written work while studying The Complete Grimms’ Fairy Tales will be completed in class.
***If you would rather print the study guide yourself, I will refund you $10 on the first day of class.

Wild World of Art: Middle Grades
Dive into the wonders of nature in Wild World of Art: Exploring Ecosystems! This unique class combines science and creativity, offering students the chance to learn about ecosystems while mstering the 7 basic elements of art: line, shape, texture, form, space, color, and value.
Students will use a variety of artistic mediums, including soft pastels, oil pastels, watercolor, and tempura paints as they stunning projects inspired by the natural world. Each work of art will explore different aspects of ecosystems, from landscapes and habitats to the animals that call them home.
By the end of the semester, their work will be compiled into a beautifully bound, keepsake nature book. This personalized treasure will not only showcase their artistic growth but also feature fun animal facts they’ve discovered along the way.
Join us for an exciting journey where art meets science, and creativity brings ecosystems to life!
