Description:
Boys 9-12 years old - Coach Matt's goal is to develop champions in life through a structured program based on values, commitment, healthy habits, and skills development. The fundamentals of wrestling include basic skills, drills, and techniques in a fun and positive environment.
Wrestling is a unique sport because it teaches values that last a lifetime. Wrestling builds character, teaches kids how to overcome obstacles and failure, handle emotions, respect authority, a strong work ethic, discipline, resilience, accountability, and be a good teammate. Wrestling is more than a sport; wrestling is family. Our classes are dedicated to fostering these values in our youth and providing a family atmosphere where kids can thrive. This program is best defined as "wrestling meets youth group."
Wrestling shoes are not necessary. Please bring water and socks.
Our theme is based on 1 Corinthians 16:13-14. “Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be men of courage; be strong. Do everything in love.” Coach Matt’s mission: Raise champions for life—on the mat and for eternity. We build boys into godly men through wrestling, values, and brotherhood. We will unpack the four pillars of being a real man: rejecting passivity, accepting responsibility, leading courageously, and expecting a greater reward. The fundamentals of wrestling include basic skills, drills, and techniques in a fun and positive environment. Our practices are focused on more than just wrestling; we aim to create a supportive and encouraging space for your boys. Wrestling is a unique sport because it teaches values that last a lifetime. It builds character and teaches kids how to overcome obstacles and failure, handle emotions, respect authority, have a strong work ethic, discipline, resilience, accountability, and be a good teammate. We will arrange four intrasquad (internal) competitions so the boys can showcase what they’ve learned. Wrestling shoes are not necessary. Please bring plenty of water, socks, and a teachable heart.

A complete English language course featuring phonics, writing, spelling, and reading. There will be required homework each week. I homeschooled 8 children as well as pursued additional teacher training. I love to see kids make progress in academics and so I present the class in a fun & engaging manner. Each child will be able to progress from their own, individual ability to higher levels. We will cover what God has to say about writing and character traits and how we should use our best efforts at improving communication skills.
Requirements:
Please bring for each child a three ring binder w/ tab dividers, notebook paper with line sizing customized for your child, and pens in black, blue, and red ink.
In a yearbook class, students team-build the school yearbook. That includes taking photos, interviewing students and staff, writing captions and short articles, designing pages, editing layouts, and meeting deadlines.
This class will meet once per week but run for the whole year (both semesters).
They may also work on special jobs like covering sports and clubs, gathering quotes and statistics, selling ads, planning the theme, or organizing sales and distribution for the finished book.
Yearbook class also builds teamwork, organization, communication, creativity, and time management. It often feels a lot like running a small publishing project with real deadlines and responsibilities.
Students will use hand building techniques (pinching, coil building, slab work and kurinuki) to create functional wares. Functional wares may include: mug, plate, bird house, bowl, spoon rest, toothbrush holder, etc. Focus will be invited to give attention to the thickness of the piece, the finish of the piece: does it feel too heavy, too rough, are the joins well attended and clean? Creativity is invited to the class; functional pottery is amazing to explore.
Requirements:
If dual enrolled in Wednesday Open Studio student will pay only one supply fee.
This class is designed to be an extension of Defending Your Faith, but can be taken as a stand alone course, or at the same time. (Since this class is based on ever changing current events; topics and discussion can change from term to term.)
The world is taking aim at Christianity from every angle. The Bible asks us to be in the world but not of it. As Christians, how do we respond to events happening around us in a Godly and Biblical way? The idea of this class is to engage in a Bible centered and lively discussion while opposing viewpoints are presented. Come and learn how to have tough discussions from a Biblical worldview about current events that you face in day to day life.
Your student will soar into the fascinating world of flying creatures! Throughout the semester, we will explore flight dynamics, animal biology, diets, habitats, behaviors, and ecology through engaging readings, videos, and a variety of hands-on activities featuring birds, bats, and insects.
Each student will give two presentations during the semester, showcasing what they have learned about these amazing creatures.
We will use Exploring Creation with Zoology 1: Flying Creatures of the Fifth Day (2nd Edition), part of Apologia's award-winning Young Explorer Series, as one of our primary resources.
Requirements:
Purchase: Exploring Creation with Zoology 1: Flying Creatures of the Fifth Day, 2nd Edition.
Each week the student will be required to read one chapter and memorize one bible verse.
I plan to use Apologia's text on flying creatures. We'll do hands on experiments and projects in class with weekly take home reading and vocabulary assignments. This class will continue in the spring term as there is enough material in our textbook for two terms.
Requirements:
Exploring Creation with Zoology 1: Flying Creatures of the Fifth Day (about $35)
