Come learn about the great states of the USA! In this class, students will learn the locations, capitals, postal abbreviations, and nicknames of all fifty states through a combination of workbook activities, map work, and a whole lot of games. This class includes weekly homework and quizzes in a low stress environment which makes it a good fit for students who will be progressing to more academic classes next year.
Requirements:
Students will have weekly homework to look up the capital, postal abbreviation, nickname, and a fun fact for the states. Access to the internet or a book on states will be needed to complete the assignments. The class workbook will be provided as part of the materials fee.
History is more than a sequence of dates; it is a tapestry of human experience, conflict, and innovation. In this course, we will explore the pivotal moments of the 20th century in the United States by immersing ourselves in the popular films and literature of each era. By moving through the 1900s at a pace of one decade per month, students will gain a visceral understanding of how the American spirit shifted through times of global war, economic depression, and cultural revolution.
Your student will learn historical context with comprehensive understanding of major turning points—including WWI, the Great Depression, WWII, the Cold War, and the Watergate scandal—and how they shaped modern America.
Students will also learn critical analysis by developing of the ability to analyze primary source documents alongside creative works (film and novels) to distinguish between historical fact and cultural narrative.
Finally, students will develop cultural literacy with appreciation for how the art, media, and literature of a time period reflect the fears, hopes, and values of the people living through it.
Inquiry-Based Learning: Practice in examining historical evidence firsthand rather than relying on a single textbook, fostering deeper curiosity and independent critical thinking.
Media Exploration: Students will engage with carefully selected films and novels that serve as "windows" into the 1900s.
Requirements:
Note to Parents:
Because this course relies on films and literature to explore complex historical events, I invite parents to take an active role in their child's experience. I will provide a reading/viewing list, and I ask that parents review it to ensure they align with your family's standards.
Like all core classes we’ll meet twice a week for the full year and have greater expectations of students, parents, and teachers. Parents will be required to attend the mandatory CORE Classes Parent Meeting immediately following Family Orientation.

Salvete, discipuli et discipulae! Studeamus simul Latine.
Latin forms the basis for many languages, such as Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, and Romanian, and contributes much to English vocabulary. Knowledge of Latin also assists students in mastering scientific and medical terminology. Understanding Latin grammar will help students understand English grammar as well.
We will be using Compass Classroom’s Visual Latin, a curriculum that is designed to give students who successfully complete the class the ability to read the Latin Bible to a fair degree of comprehension. This course emphasizes reading and writing in Latin.
Compass Classroom is offering the Visual Latin curriculum to us for a licensing fee of $50. This allows students to download all the necessary class materials as well as the video lessons for lifetime use. We will also be using several Latin primers from the early 1900s.
This is a full-year class. There will be about an hour of homework each school day to keep up with the class. Registered students will be provided with the coupon code to purchase the materials through Compass Classroom. Instructor will administer and correct tests and keep grade records.
Hello! My name is Jennifer Faulkner. I welcome this wonderful opportunity to help raise up a new generation of singers and worshippers at Firmly Planted.
