This class will cover the founding documents that form the basis for the US government and its structure (Articles of Confederation, Declaration of Independence, US Constitution) and the writings of the men who wrote these documents (Federalist Papers and Anti-Federalist Papers).
Students will need to create a free account with Hillsdale College Online. We will be using several of their online courses as the basis for this year-long civics course: Intro to the Constitution, Constitution 101, Constitution 201, Federalist Papers, Presidency and the Constitution, US Supreme Court, Congress: How it Works and Why It Doesn’t, Public Policy from a Constitutional Viewpoint, Civil Rights in American History, American Citizenship and Its Decline.
Students should expect to spend about 1 hour each school day studying for this course. Instructor will administer and correct tests and keep grade records.
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.

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!

Wednesday - Preschool A - 131: 11:00 am - 12:50 pm
Description:
This is a class where learning and play go hand in hand. Children are naturally curious and imaginative, eager to explore the world around them. In The Wonder Workshop, we encourage that curiosity through exploration-based, imaginative learning. Each class includes circle time, songs, stories, art, and playful engagement in our themed centers, like play kitchen, grocery store, ice cream shop, and more. Children will role-play, problem solve, and choose activities that interest them - encouraging independence, curiosity, and creativity. A snack will be provided, giving students the opportunity to enjoy food with one another, practice conversation, and table manners. Throughout the class, children develop early literacy and math skills, social-emotional skills, and creativity. They are encouraged to explore, imagine, and take joy in learning, while gently learning to work with peers and build confidence in themselves. Join us and let your child's imagination and curiosity come alive!

Parent or guardian must be available on Slack for bathroom breaks or diaper changes, and children need to be taken to restroom before class starts.
