Welcome, daring girls! This class is based on the tips and tricks from the popular book, “The Daring Book For Girls”. (No boys allowed!) That means we’ll learn everything from history and language arts, to pocket knives and public speaking. This class is the ultimate knowledge builder; and with great knowledge, comes great responsibility. So we will also study God’s Word, answering questions most relevant to us today, how to handle them, and what God says about them.
Requirements:
For this adventure, students will require: - A backpack, satchel, or grocery bag to fill with the essential gear: Your Bible, a pocket knife or multitool, bandana, rope and twine, journal and pencil/pen, hair bands, bungee cords, a flashlight, compass, duct tape, a deck of cards, a good book, and most importantly, patience.

I am creating this class in hopes that middle schoolers have a place to make friends. In this “class” we will socialize, play board games, have snacks and just hangout. Come join us for some hangout time!

This class will teach the basics of the Hebrew Alef-Bet. Students will learn how to recognize, pronounce and write each of the Hebrew letters and vowel sounds, as well as some words and phrases. Each student will also need to have a 3-ring binder, 2 pee-chee folders, colored pencils and sheet protectors for handouts.
We will be using various techniques in this learning experience through watching a DVD series with a corresponding workbook as well as using a notebook with multiple hand outs to add to your collection of learning materials. We will also incorporate a song, games, puzzles and coloring pages to help keep it fun! This class will have minimal daily homework.
The only prerequisite is a willingness to learn and to keep trying your best.
Horse crazy? Ready to use this interest to spur investigation, exploration, and creativity? We will cover equestrian sports, anatomy, showing, careers, breeds, horse behavior, care and much more. We will do fun art projects, find a favorite horse book, do a few short writing projects, hands on time with tack, and use videos to explore the world of horses. Giddy up! The supply fee includes a book for the student's writing assignments.
Students will have an opportunity to learn outside of the classroom at the end of the term (additional cost will apply) for an experience that will include riding and grooming in a group setting. Date TBD.
Wednesday - Auxiliary Room - 201: 10:00 am - 11:50 am
Description:
Children discover and create original masterpieces during this semester long class. An open ended sculpting approach encourages children to engage with materials using elements of engineering, design and artistry.
Free form creations inspired by artists and architects from around the world.
Your children's creations are all original!
A calm classroom environment is created with children in mind. Using a multi table setup children sculpt at one table with three more provided for further exploring.
Teachers Note:
Art is about the process of creating, not about the product that comes from the creating. When young children are given the opportunity to discover, explore and make mistakes, unique and creative artwork will flow. They learn to think creatively when allowed the freedom to express themselves through art. Process art also strengthens fine motor skills, critical thinking, and spatial intelligence. It is also a lot of fun!
