This beginning writing course is for students who are ready to learn how to compose fact and fiction pieces. It covers organizing and note taking to build a formal paragraph. By the end of the year students will be writing reports and stories. Grammar will be taught in context with stories. Students will learn the mechanics of writing as well. 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:
Students taking this class are expected to be already reading and able to write a sentence. Students should also be able to understand and follow directions to participate in classroom activities, such as reading aloud, speaking when requested during the class, respectful listening, and participating in simple in-class writing. All core classes require the family to commit to completing homework. Homework will consist of writing one paragraph per week plus occasional additional, short pieces. Students will need to bring a 3-ring binder to class for handouts and resources. Also required are pens in black, blue, and red ink.

Get ready for some ancient fun! This class introduces Latin words, roots and phrases through games, Bible verses, songs, and other activities. We will also learn a little about the Ancient Roman empire where the language was originally spoken. Learning Latin has long been a part of a classical education due to the rich benefits it has for understanding historical texts, learning grammar, and laying a foundation for understanding English and Romance Languages. Spanish, Italian, French, Portuguese, and Romanian are all based on Latin! The focus of the class at this level is vocabulary, Latin roots and enjoying Latin club time with other kids. A little about me- I have a BA in Classics and have previous experience teaching Latin, Theater, Math, and more. Come, see, and conquer this rewarding subject with us - vale!
Requirements:
This class is suitable for children with no previous background in Latin. It would also be a wonderful addition for those doing an at-home Latin homeschool curriculum, to help Latin texts come alive!
Students taking this class are expected to be ready to follow simple in-class directions, such as participating in activities, speaking when requested, and respectful listening. A first grade or above reading level is helpful but is not required. No homework is required for this class.

Come and learn Elementary Spanish! We will be working through a year one Spanish course that integrates Abeka Elementary Spanish and Christian Light's Speedy Spanish. We will be integrating phonics and vocabulary through songs and repetition. We will be memorizing Scripture together, learning how to correctly use the present tense formation, and doing basic writing worksheets to cement the ideas we have learned in class. We also will study different countries that speak Spanish and add in some geography work. My goal is that your student finishes the year with a beginning Spanish vocabulary and a deeper love for Jesus through the study of a foreign language.
Requirements:
Your student must be able to read basic paragraphs and write simple sentences. We will be reading basic Spanish and the descriptions/translations are in English - they will need to be able to work on their worksheets on their own. Students must be able to sit quietly and pay attention during the teaching time and be prepared to do a little work at home. You will also be required to bring a 3 ring binder filled with notebook paper to class and writing utensils.
