This course is designed to introduce the wonders of our solar system, the stars, and beyond. Your student will explore and learn about the sun, planets, asteroid belt, dwarf planets, the Kuiper belt galaxies, nebulae, and even black holes as they reveal the marvel and might of our loving Creator.
Each week in class we will do an experiment or project to reinforce what students are learning. Students must be able and willing to read the chapter at home individually or with a parent (there's also an audio version available for purchase from Apologia if that works better for your student) and come to class ready to engage in our classroom project/experiment that correlates with their at-home reading for that week. The goal is to continue to spark their curiosity about the world God has created and build good at-home study skills along with having a fun time with their peers doing cool experiments together.
In this class students will use Apologia Young Explorer's Anatomy and Physiology Course Book to explore God's design of the human body and see how each system reflects His creative wisdom. Students will develop curiosity and confidence through experiments, note booking, and model building. They will also learn to describe, label, and explain key organs and systems of the body. They will learn how to care for their God-given bodies through healthy choices, and they will also connect scripture to science, deepening faith and wonder in God's creation.
Requirements:
Students must purchase the Apologia Young Explorer's Anatomy and Physiology Course Book prior to the first day of class, as they will be required to bring it to class each week.
Join us as we explore 1st/2nd grade grammar and sentence writing while creating an interactive language arts notebook. Interactive notebooks are a place for students to record what we learn in class in a fun and engaging way. Each student will bring home their notebook at the end of the term with over 60 pages they can use to reflect, practice, and demonstrate their learning.
Topics we will cover in this class will include vowel teams, beginning and ending digraphs, rhyming words, syllables, prepositions, synonyms, elements of a story, sequencing, and much more.
We will also read short stories aloud, answer comprehension questions as a class, and edit “fix-it” sentences.
Requirements:
Students should be reading at a Kinder/1st grade level or higher, able to sound out CVC words, and able to write a few sentences with help and encouragement. Students should also be able to use scissors and glue independently.
Please make attendance and punctuality a priority for this class. Students who are excessively absent or tardy will miss out on valuable class content.
Avast ye hearties! Come aboard and learn all about pirates, both real and fictional. Students will learn about life at sea, searching for treasure, pirate flags, pirate ships, how to read a map, and how to speak like a pirate. We will cover a different aspect of pirates each week through books, crafts, games, activities, and songs. Students will create a lap book that they will take home at the end of the term.
