This will be a fun, interactive class designed to spark your imagination and engineering skills with Mark Rober! Each week, we will watch a short video, have a brief teaching time, and then work on our own experiment in class.
The class fee will go toward experiment supplies.
Class will be designed with 1st-3rd grade in mind, but 4th-6th would equally enjoy it.
Recycled Art (Pre-K & Kindergarten)
Welcome to Recycled Art, where imagination meets sustainability! In this hands-on, creative class, students will learn how to turn everyday recycled, reused, and repurposed materials into amazing works of art. From creating musical instruments to crafting colorful mosaics and paintings, children will explore the endless possibilities of “trash” turned into treasure.
Through fun and interactive projects, kids will develop fine motor skills, learn about the environment, and discover how to see beauty in the world around them. This class encourages creativity, resourcefulness, and the joy of transforming old items into something new and beautiful.
By the end of this class, students will not only have a collection of their own artistic masterpieces but also a deeper appreciation for reusing and recycling, all while having lots of fun along the way!
In the age of social media and AI, we need to practice thinking for ourselves.
The semester will begin with topics from civics and conclude with current events and the current media landscape. We will learn what kinds of questions to ask and how to go about searching for answers.
This will be a fun and dynamic class with a minimal amount of outside work.
Bring a notebook.
Taught by certified K–12 Spanish teacher Ronda Bemenderfer, this class introduces students to Spanish using the Comprehensible Input approach. Through songs, interactive activities, and short readings, students will build vocabulary and develop basic conversational skills designed for upper elementary learners. This class provides a strong foundation for a Spanish 1 course. Students will be given course work throughout the week to enhance their skills.
Building hand-eye coordination and physical strength while playing PE games, wiffle ball, kick ball, dodge ball, tag, flag football, relay races, and brain games. Each week the students will learn a healthy lifestyle tip.
Of note: This is a wide age range. Please keep your children in mind when signing up.
Students will participate in PE games, kickball, dodgeball, wiffle ball, flag football, and learn muscle groups during warm up/stretch. We will practice skills to go with each sport and encourage teamwork during PE games.
Join us as we immerse our students in Art while building early literacy skills.
We will have three themed blocks lasting 4 weeks. Week 12 will be a display table for students to show off work at the end of the term.
Our themes for this semester are Down on the Farm, Children’s Books, and Under the Sea.
Each class Children will listen to a story related to the theme of the block. We will follow our story time with a class art project. Throughout the project children will practice early literacy skills as well as counting.
This class is intended for grades 2nd-5th, but is open to any student that is ready and capable.
We will learn and practice all letters, letter connections, word and sentence writing. We will also have additional activities to help reinforce letter recognition and reading in cursive.
All worksheets will be provided each week. Students should come to class prepared with pencil, eraser, and crayons or colored pencils.
In this class, the students will learn line dances such as, watermelon crawl, the git up, and even some as basic as church clap. This class is mostly for fun! If anyone likes to dance and is willing to participate in learning a few more dances, this is a class for them. It would probably be best if the students were 8+ because some of the line dances will include steps that are difficult for little kids to learn and remember, but if they are willing to try their best and participate, then they are welcome to join:)
Following Hymns for a Kids Heart by Bobbie Wolgemuth and Joni Eareckson Tada. We will listen and sing a hymn each week. We will learn the history and story behind the people who wrote the hymns along with biblical truths.
We will study Bible verses along with having discussions on how we can apply the truths we learned and develop the characteristic traits with each lesson following Heart of Dakota Bible Study curriculum.
**Please ask your student if they can or would like to bring their bibles. We will find a verse or two and go over one each week. Not necessary, but they may like having their own book to look at and find it.
