We will engage your student’s imagination through read aloud stories and coordinating projects. Alternating between guided projects and ‘free play” clay. Students will be guided through the basics of clay sculpture, pinch pots, coil making, slip and score and more. This tactile medium will be used to help cultivate fine motor skills, hand eye coordination, attention to detail and storytelling. *Four-year-old students need to be accompanied by a parent or sibling age 12 and up, Five year old’s may be dropped off. The class will touch on sculptural and functional wares over the course of our 16 weeks together.
Requirements:
Students ages 4 and under must be accompanied by someone age 12 and up. Supervising attendees may choose to pay the supply fee too if they want to make projects alongside their student.
Through read-aloud stories, guided projects, and creative clay play, students will explore the foundations of hand-building with clay including pinch pots, coils, sculpting, slip and score, and more. This tactile medium encourages fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, storytelling, and attention to detail while creating both sculptural and functional pieces. Projects range from single-day creations to multi-week works of art. Each term features fresh new projects, with favorite projects only occasionally revisited every few years.
Requirements:
This class is a good fit for students who work well in a multi-sensory environment as the studio is alive with sights, smells and sounds, sometimes simultaneously; all while having their hands in lots of clay and water. All supplies, consumable and shared are provided with the supply fee for this class.

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.
