Come and learn history in an engaging and fun environment! This history class will explore medieval history through story telling, geography/cartography, and a weekly craft project. Crafted for 2-6th graders, this class will engage the auditory, tactile, and visual learners and will make history memorable and fun. Olivia has 4 kids, ages 3-11 and has had fun homeschooling for the last 6 years - The Story of the World is a family favorite!
Requirements:
Students should be able to listen to a 20 minute story while doing a tactile activity, have the dexterity to color and use scissors, be able to follow simple, step-by-step instructions, and be a participant in a group discussion by both listening and answering questions in turn. Reading is helpful but not an absolute requirement.
This class focuses on growing friendships, play, love of stories, and Biblical lessons we can learn through it all. For example: Baby Wren and the Great Gift will teach kids that God has a special purpose for each of their lives. Petunia Beware teaches us that the grass may not actually be greener on the other side and how we can be thankful for what we have. The Night Gardener shows us the blessing of doing kind and beautiful things for others. Some books will teach the months of the year, seasons, and counting as well. We'll throw in some fun ones too, Dragons Love Tacos, Where the Wild Things Are, We Were Tired of Living in a House, and more! We will sing songs, do crafts and play games related to the books we read.

Description:
Girls and boys will enjoy stories about building godly character qualities like kindness, honesty, perseverance and forgiveness. They will learn dances and wear costumes to retell stories. Each day will have a different theme such as circus day, Jack and the Beanstalk, garden fairy friends and how to be a prince or princess.
Snacks will be provided each day, including a royal tea party on the final day of camp.
Each day after checking in at the dance studio, students will attend chapel in the auditorium. When they return to the studio dancers will have the option to get some face painting or do a craft/art project for the day. After stretching they will learn some tumbling, have story time, then learn a dance that they will perform for you when you come to pick them up.
Equal parts science, history, math, and literature this class will use living books and hands-on projects to explore the famous scientists, philosophers, and mathematicians of the ancient world. The goal of this class is to foster a love for the STEM fields through outstanding storytelling. This year-long class covers ancient times and fall term includes discoveries from Pythagoras, Hippocrates, Plato, Aristotle, Euclid, Archimedes, and more. Students need not have a love of math or science to succeed in this class, but they should be eager to learn and ready to follow directions.

Each week, we’ll gather to read a heartwarming story from the G.L. Charles with Jesus series, where little ones learn about kindness, love, and friendship through simple, faith-filled lessons. After storytime, we’ll bring the story to life with a fun hands-on art craft. This class combines gentle learning, and creative play, as we explore what it means to walk with Jesus every day!
Learn how structural engineers use physics, knowledge of the properties of building materials, and geometric shapes to design structures with sufficient strength and stability. Using modular building pieces, we will learn the basics of structural engineering through model-building experiments. Each model demonstrates a basic principle of mechanical physics or structural engineering in a hands-on way. We will start out with small models that demonstrate how structural elements can be attached together to maximize the strength of a structure for a fixed amount of material used. Learn about basic structural elements including columns, beams, trusses, plates, arches, shells, and catenary. Explore the forces acting on structural components including tension, compression, shear, and bending. Move onto building more complex models of trusses, roofs, and small buildings. Experiment with different types of bridge construction: a truss bridge, arch bridge, cantilever bridge, rope bridge, and suspension bridge. Finally, end with build models of towering skyscrapers.
Requirements:
Finger strength and dexterity to build with small plastic building pieces.
Students will meet weekly with Miss Lucinda to learn basic skills and techniques in drawing, painting, clay, and various other media. Along with learning to develop creativity, students will be introduced to master artists from multiple historical periods and the Seven Elements of Art. The class can be taken throughout the entire school year, if desired, or by the semester, and will not repeat the same material. The class is a good fit for children who love hands-on projects and can also listen well and follow instructions.
