Grab your passport and discover countries & cultures through global crafts, missionary biographies, map skills, crafts, games, art history, world landmarks, holiday celebrations, music ... and international snacks!!! We will travel thorough 6 continents, 24 countries, and learn about a new missionary for each continent. Each week students will add a new flag to their passport, learn about that country’s unique characteristics, label its map, make a craft – and sample tasty snacks to help get that well-rounded cultural experience. We will also study & pray each week for different people groups around the world who need to hear about Jesus. The goal is for our kids to be excited about different cultures, learn basic world geography, but most importantly, to have a heart for missions at home and abroad.
Requirements:
Kids do not need to be proficient readers/writers for this class. Students should be ready to write a few words each week (they can trace or copy from the board). Students will be encouraged to follow 3-step directions, work independently, ask for help if needed, take turns, and show kindness and respect to the teacher and fellow classmates.
About once a month I may have a take-home assignment for the kids to do and bring back.

Wednesday - Computer Lab - 125: 10:00 am - 11:50 am
Description:
We live in a visual world. To make an impact on our world it is vital to be able to communicate visually. This class will present the fundamental concepts of visual communication. LORD willing it will be a year long journey from hand lettering and the use of type to producing a video for a YouTube channel. We will explore drawing, composition, use of color, designing and producing brand identity for a small business, digital photography principles, web design, children's book illustration, storyboarding, and more. We will use Photoshop, Premier Rush, Animate, and many of the software programs in the Adobe Creative Cloud Suite of programs. We will learn how to draw on the Wacom One tablet screens in the Computer Lab.
So if you want to give your student an exposure to the world of graphic design, this is the class for you.
I'm Tom Snyder. I have a Master's degree in Teaching and about 60 years experience as a visual artist. I have worked as a school teacher for about the last 20 years. It would be great to be able to share what I have learned with your student.
Requirements:
I will provide a 3-Ring notebook, colored pencils, pens, and some paper. Your student needs to provide a desire to produce good work and communicate important ideas. You may want to provide other materials as we proceed through our time together but I would wait until you know what kind of project your student wants to do for an assignment.
