Is your child ready to hop, bound, run, dive, leap, jump, turn, kick and stretch ? Groovin Storytime for kids will encourage age appropriate movement and stories that help strengthen fine motor and gross motor skills while expanding our language skills. In this program, we will introduce stories and body movement in a very fun, loving and professional environment. We will work on skills such as rhythm, coordination, self confidence, discipline and structure. In 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. Stories will be preschool age appropriate and imaginative for the children. Please have your child in comfortable clothes to move in. Take your child to the restroom before class begins.

My name is Summer St. John and I am 21 years old. Looking for a place to get started with guitar? I teach beginner lessons where you will learn warm-ups, proper posture, first chords, and strumming...giving you the tools you need to become a pro. For anyone interested in starting a new versatile instrument like the guitar, these lessons offer the basics so you can start playing scales, chords, and your favorite worship songs. $25 per 30 min lesson
Requirements:
Daily home practice (covering each assignment) is necessary for proper growth in any new activity.
Students require a guitar, picks, notebook, and the lesson book (Hal Leonard Guitar Method Book 1)
Learn and build on the basic principles of hand-building with clay. Projects may include: functional pots, sculpture, tiles and more. The projects will encourage freedom of expression, allowing students to personalize their piece while also nurturing the need to follow a process and value the structure inspired by successful ceramic projects. Functional pieces such as cups, plates and bowls will all be made from dishwasher and microwave safe materials, creating heirloom memories your family may enjoy for generations.
Hands on Equations is a visual and hands on game-like approach to understanding algebraic expressions. No algebraic prerequisites are required for this class. This class is perfect for students ages 13-15 to take before/during Pre-algebra or Algebra 1. It will give a firm foundation for understanding what an equation is and how the 'rules' we learn work and why.
It is a game-like approach that fascinates students
The gestures or “legal moves” used to solve the equations reinforce the concepts at a deep kinesthetic level
Students attain a high level of success with the program and in my experience love getting to the next lesson
The program provides students with a strong foundation for later algebraic studies
The concepts and skills presented are essential for success in an Algebra 1 class
There will be no homework for this class. The program consists of 26 lessons. We will be able to complete 2-3 lessons per class. If we have additional class time after the completion of the 26 lessons this semester, we will move on to a basic algebra book to gain a grasp on the beginnings of algebra and relating it back to the learning through Hands on Equations.
Concepts learned:
the concept of an unknown
how to evaluate an expression
how to combine like terms
the relational meaning of the equal sign (both sides have the same value)
the meaning of an algebra equation
how to balance algebra equations (using the subtraction property of equality)
the concept of the check of an equation
the ability to solve one and two-step algebra equations
solving equations with unknowns on both sides
how to work with a multiple of a parenthetical expression
mathematics is a subject one can understand
mathematics can be learned without memorization
they need not be intimidated by algebraic symbols
they can enjoy doing mathematics
they can communicate their mathematical reasoning to others
they can use concrete materials to model abstract equations and word problems
Requirements:
Students must be fluent in 5th grade math or ready to take Pre-Algebra or Algebra in the following semester. (6th-9th) grades - If you have questions on if your child is ready for this class, or if you child is 'too old' please contact me.
