Throughout the semester, we’ll be going through several different crafts you can use to give or sell. Some projects will take longer than others but in the end, you’ll come away with the knowledge of:
How to make a dried grass wreath
How to make cards and decorate them
How to make scented seashell candles
How to make jewelry
How to make a tie dye shirt
You'll be able to take everything you make home with you plus some supplies like jewelry tools and beads to make more on your own. I’m excited to teach you and look forward to how you progress in your crafting talent!

Spring 2022
Dance
- General Dance
Schedule:
Wednesday - Dance Studio A - 116: 11:00 am - 11:50 am
Description:
Creative movement for kids will encourage age appropriate movement that helps strengthen fine motor and gross motor skills. In this program, we will introduce the art of dance and music in a very fun, loving and professional environment. We will work on skills such as rhythm, coordination, self confidence, discipline and structure. In a addition we will also work on social skills like taking turns, making friends, teamwork and listening skills. We will use body actions to communicate an image (leaf falling) communicate a journey (seeds growing into plants reaching for the sun) or communicate feelings such as strength and joy. Both boys and girls enjoy these classes. All children benefit including those with communication, sensory, developmental or physical challenges. Please have your child in comfortable clothes to dance in and hair pulled off the face. Please have a water bottle labeled with your child's name along with a snack and restroom opportunity before class. Students in this class will be performing in our wonderful Spring Dance Show that is focused on the life of Christ. This class will be performing in the Spring Dance Shows the week of May 16-22, final dates TBD. Details will be provided in full at our mandatory parent meeting to be held at 7pm on Monday, February 28th. (We are adjusting some things that should enable students to invite more family and friends to enjoy the event. We are considering all young student and level one classes to be split among the performances, but also to offer more performances that will allow better viewing opportunities and parking.) Parental attendance to this meeting is mandatory in order to ensure clarity of information and the success of your dancer’s performance. Please read the updated class syllabus that is pinned to your class channel. Students taking multiple classes (or siblings) receive 25% off their second class taken with the same instructor. Fees may be paid monthly or by semester. Costume fees for the Spring Show are due at Spring registration. (Estimated $25 to rent.) Wear clothes and shoes easy to dance in. Students are encouraged to stretch and practice what they learn in class at home a few minutes each day.

Conway, Christopher
Fall 2024
Language Arts
- English
Schedule:
Tuesday - Classroom - 220: 12:00 pm - 12:50 pm
Description:
Essentially, all writing is "creative" but this class will take a step away from the form and structure of academic writing to explore other forms of expression including poetry, short stories, music lyrics, etc. Creative Writing is an elective course in which students will explore various genres in order to discover strengths and preferences in their own writing. This course will be writing intensive as we will explore how to express our thoughts in various genres.
This course provides an introduction to the writing of poems, stories, plays, and creative non-fiction, with related readings. Students submit writing for class discussion with the aim of creating an original collection of creative work in several genres.
Requirements:
This class would be structured so as to be suitable for students in grades 7-12

Many young students find history boring and have a hard time remembering things they learned in history class, but it is so important to know our history so why not have fun with it? In this class, we will be learning about and reenacting communism under 4 different regimes and their effects on the world. We will learn about the USSR, China, Latin America, and North Korea. Students will be given a part and a script and will perform each event. My goal is to help students retain their knowledge of history and foster an interest in it as well. Let's learn history AND have fun!

Crochet: Stuffies and Blanket Edgings
Ages 12yr-16yr
Van Loo, Sarah
Fall 2022
Arts
- General Art
Schedule:
Tuesday - Art Studio - 129: 3:00 pm - 3:50 pm
Description:
In this intermediate class students will learn how to crochet boarders on a blanket and how to crochet an amagurumi stuffed frog*. To ensure everyone can pick out their own colors of fabric and yarn, there will be no supply fee and students will be required to obtain their own supplies. I will leave a list of what they will need for the class below.
Supplies Needed
- 1 yard of Anti Pill Fleece
-Yarn in your color choice (suggested yarn weight: 4) - this is for your blanket; you will need 1 skein
- 1 skein of Baby Bee Yarn in Mint Charm ,for your frog (you can find this yarn brand at Hobby Lobby)
-Crochet hooks (5mm and 4mm)
-Crochet (or blunted) needle for sewing in ends and attaching arms, legs etc. to your stuffy
-Scissors
I will provide the poly-fill, safety eyes, and a small amount of yarn for accent colors on your frog.
*If you do not wish to create a frog amigurumi you can still follow the same pattern and adjust the color and make ears for whatever animal you would like. e.g. You could make a bear or a bunny. Your imagination's the limit! You would have to find a suitable replacement yarn as the baby bee yarn comes in very limited colors. The baby bee yarn is category 5 and is a velvety consistency.
NOTE: If the class as a whole finishes these projects, we would continue with the same concepts and make other projects. Be prepared to purchase more yarn/fabric. If a student finishes the projects before the rest of the class, they are more than welcome to bring in other crochet projects they are working on and I'd be more than happy to help!
I hope you join us for a fun class crocheting together some fun, useful items to cherish for years to come!
Requirements:
Students are required to know basic stitches. Students who are under the age of the class age minimum, but would like to take the class and have prior crochet experience, must get approval from the teacher.
