Reluctant readers & bookworms alike can't wait to grab their journals & special backpacks (included) to Time-Travel back to the Middle Ages and more thru 8 of the Magic Treehouse books.
15 minutes of each class students will take notes or draw in their journals as they listen to the story, as well as mark their world maps and create a historical timeline.
Each week we will highlight different aspects of literature like main characters, story setting, plot…etc. By the end of the term, kids will have authored their very own "book". Kids will enjoy unique crafts & relevant projects based on the themes from each MTH book like: clay medallions, sea shell bottles, Japanese cherry tree paintings, a real rainforest jar...and lots more.
Bonus: Kids will also design & build their own treehouses to create a class “Forest of Treehouses” exhibit for the whole school to visit.
"The treehouse started to spin. It spun faster and faster. Then everything was still. Absolutely still."
(note: The teacher will edit out any questionable content like ghosts, etc..)
Requirements:
Kids are NOT required to read or write for this class, although there are plenty of opportunities for kids who are ready for that. You do NOT need to own/supply the MTH books for your child, but it would be great if they had their copy too.
Students are expected to be kind and respectful to the teacher and fellow classmates. Students should be ready to follow 3-step directions.
Kids will typically have 1 take home project each month.

Triple Play Sports will focus on basketball, kickball, and capture the flag. There will also be conditioning each class including a warm up. We will cover individual skills and fundamentals, as well as teamwork, good sportsmanship, and games. Here is a breakdown of skills for each sport. Basketball we will dribble, pass, shoot, and learn offense/defense through drills, competitive fun games, and scrimmages. Kickball is learning the power to kick, catch, run, and throw. Capture the flag is all about learning many strategies for winning the game with speed, defensive & offensive tactics, endurance, and agility . There is another similar game called gladiator ball we will change out from time to time with capture the flag, except it is played with dodgeballs. Many students have shown an interested in pickleball. I am excited to be offering this sport as well. Our class is built to increase cardiovascular health, foster social & emotional skills, strategic thinkers, and a bunch of fun.
