Your child is God’s unique creation - full of wonder, joy, and purpose! In Wonderfully Made, children will explore who they are through playful, hands-on activities that celebrate their bodies, feelings, families, and growing abilities, all while learning that they are deeply loved by God. With activities like mirror play, fruit faces, handprint art, family photo books, and “How Do I Feel Today?” games, children will develop self-awareness, empathy, and confidence. We’ll also explore kindness and care through pretend play like doctor visits, baby bathtime, and making a shared trail mix. Rooted in the message of Psalm 139:14 “I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made” this class helps little ones know they are special, seen, and created with love. Come play, explore, and grow in God’s love!
Requirements:
Children must be able to attend class without parent (special needs with a student helper is fine). Students need to use restroom before class, and have a parent available on Slack for bathroom breaks during class.

My goal is to teach practical skills that can be carried on through the years of growing up whether they do woodworking as a profession when they get older or just be able to use it as a hobby. Also, I want to inspire future woodworkers to chase their dreams if they have that desire to do woodworking as a profession when they grow up.

"The peculiar value of geography lies in its fitness to nourish the mind with ideas and furnish the imagination with pictures."- Charlotte Mason. Miss Mason also held that "geography should be learned chiefly from maps, and the child should begin the study by learning 'the meaning of a map,' and how to use it." A basic knowledge of where things are located in the world is severely lacking today. World Geography will acquaint students with the basics of cartography and geography. We will primarily focus on map basics, the locations of countries, cities, and physical features (mountains, rivers, lakes, oceans, etc.) around the world as well as local features, Washington and Oregon counties and cities, and US states. Students will need access to the internet. We will use Seterra and Google Maps extensively. Students will also need to check the class Slack channel regularly, as everything for class will be posted there. Each week, students will be given a list of locations to find and memorize. Students MUST COMPLETE THE MAPWORK AT HOME in order to get any value from this class. Each week, we will cover the next week’s material, play geography games, and take the weekly quiz.
