Part of our new Living Roots Agriculture and Natural Resources program! Interactive opportunities resulting in local agriculture and natural resources. During this year long class, we will be covering various topics related to animal products, farm to table, forestry, wildlife management, ecology, and stewardship. Students will be responsible for completing supervised agricultural experiences (SAE) resulting in personal growth of initiative, accountability, and leadership. For this elementary level class SAE projects will be completed during in class time. Students and parents can look forward to four Friday/or Saturday field-trips, in-class guest speakers and producing tangible goods. Parents will be responsible for collaborating with their student to complete at home expectations.

Rope-making, knots, and lashing are among mankind’s oldest technologies. We will be learning basic and advanced knots, how knots work (and how they fail), and application. What knot is best used in a specific situation? What knots should be avoided in situations where failure can mean your life?
Lashing involves using rope and knots to assemble structures. We will start with simple structures like tripods and move to bridges and trebuchets and such later in the semester as time and student skill warrant.
We will be using a variety of resources (mainly animatedknots.com and The Ashley Book of Knots) for this class which will be listed in the class syllabus. Students will be using sharp knives and marlinspikes. The only homework will be practicing the learned knots as applicable in a home/farm setting. We should be able to thoroughly cover the basics, practice repeatedly, and learn multiple applications for knots. Time permitting, we may also look at various ways to lace and tie shoes, tie ties, and possibly make some rope with simple rope-making techniques. For the spring term, there will be a continuing Knots and Lashing class to further learn about knots.
STEM SCIENTISTS is a "Hands-On" class for 7-11 year olds. Students will learn new concepts every week and perform SCIENCE EXPERIMENTS that reinforce that concept, to take home. Our classes will include Science, Chemistry, Physics & Engineering. NOTE: This is a repeat of “New STEM Scientists” from fall semester.
Requirements:
Parents need to notify the teacher through Slack if their child will be absent so an experiment can be set aside for that student. Parent help in class is always appreciated.
We have an incredible world of animals all around us from small bees to giant giraffes! In this class we will be looking at all the amazing animals in God's creation and learning the classifications from mammals to simple organisms and everything in between. We will be creating our own book of animals to show what we have learned as well as read through fun books, make crafts, and play games.
This class will be offered as a two part class with the second half offered in the Spring.
Requirements:
Students should have the ability to cut and paste, write a small sentence or two, follow simple, step by step instructions, and join in class discussions by taking turns talking and listening .
