This class will introduce students to the basics of acting. Students will be introduced to monologue scenes and dialogue scenes to build a strong foundation for developing a character. Students with some experience will also benefit from this class as it is always recommended to work on fundamentals.

Description:
This advanced lyrical and contemporary class is designed to elevate students' dance skills while continuing to explore dance as an art form and a means of expressing ideas. Dancers will be taught to interpret their movements with feeling, emotion, and style, learning to tell a story or create a visual representation of the song. I encourage versatility in expressions and the ability to portray a wide array of movement styles and emotions. The class focuses on spatial and body awareness, use of body weight, floor work, technique, efficient muscle usage, musicality, and safe body alignment. Dancers will also have opportunities to work on their own choreography to contribute to the performances. Please wear appropriate dance attire and ballet or lyrical shoes, with hair pulled back from your face. Bring a labeled water bottle to class. This is a yearlong class and students will be performing in all four performances for our Nutcracker presentation (December 5th-8th) as well as the Spring Dance Show “Moses and The God Who Delivers” (May 15th-18th). This Class will be in Show A and B. PLEASE READ our syllabus containing more details about the shows and pertinent dance class information is located here on our website.

I have enjoyed teaching math for many years now and strive to make this class as enjoyable and pain-free as possible, but with that said the student will definitely need to put in the time each week to complete their homework. It is a twice a week class, Mondays and Wednesdays. I have made videos for the student to watch each week before they come to class, which will provide them with a clear picture of what to expect for the week, not to mention I do a portion of their homework in the videos. 😊 The videos will also help if your family is out of town or the student misses a class. You will need to have Google classroom to view the videos and Marco Polo for one on one communication as needed.
Major Concepts and Skills Covered:
*Graphing linear equations and inequalities
*Describing linear equations in slope-intercept and standard form
*Solving systems of equations using graphing, substitution, and elimination
*Expanding understanding of exponents
*Solving basic quadratic equations with factoring
*Using unit multipliers to convert between units of measure
Requires Math U See Algebra 1. Prealgebra prerequisite.
Homework: 1-2 depending upon the students knowledge of the subject
This is a CORE class that meets twice a week for the full year. CORE classes have greater expectations of students, parents, and teachers. Parents are required to attend the mandatory CORE Classes Parent Meeting immediately following Family Orientation on either August 27th at 6:45pm or August 29th at 2:45pm.
This course covers: positive and negative numbers, variables, graphs (lines, circles, ellipses, parabolas, hyperbolas), absolute value, metric conversions, negative and fractional exponents, square roots, factoring polynomials, and more. It is very important that the student has a good understanding of: fractions (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division), decimals and precents, and solving for an unknown.
Students will have access to a weekly video they are required to watch before coming to class each Monday.
Parents are required to sign their students workbook and test book each week.
