This is a WELL ROUNDED curriculum with a focus on fractions, but NOT solely fractions. It also includes: mental math, linear measure, multiple digit multiplication and division, variables, geometric figures, and formulas. It is very important that the student knows their multiplications facts 1-10 and has an understanding of long division. Each student will have access to a weekly video they can watch before coming to class to help assist them in their understanding of the lesson. This is very helpful if your family goes on vacation or needs to miss a week.

Come play with us! A fun child led free play class!
We will have creative sensory stations set up for exploratory play each week to support each child's interests. This will encourage fine gross motor skills, social play interactions and improve hand eye coordination. Sensory stations will have non toxic sand, colorful rice, beans, fabrics, organic homemade play dough, woah dough & fun nature pieces my kids will collect and bring in for cutting and creative art. We will also start each class with show & tell! Each week we will have an art craft which kids are welcome to participate in but if social and sensory play is more appealing they are welcome stay playing and creating together. :)
Montessori has the ultimate scientifically-based way to address child development. As a Paraprofessional Educator for Battle Ground School District in the special needs area I have learned the importance of creative free play for kids. As a homeschooling Mama myself, my two children and I utilize the Montessori approach and we all love it!
This class is about tangibly teaching kids the fruit that’s produced in us when we have the Holy Spirit! We will learn about love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control found in Galatians 5:22-23. We will talk about how to practically show some of these traits in our daily activities (ex. spread joy to a neighbor). Each week we will do crafts, sing songs and read stories that go along with each fruit.
Requirements:
This class is great for 4-6 year olds who can sit for 10-15 minute stories, listen to several step directions, use scissors and glue safely. All children need to go potty before class begins so we can spend our time playing and learning.
This will be a fun class to explore different ways to draw and color faces! We'll be making faces out of crayons, tissue paper, cardboard, nature, and food. We'll also be working with balloons in one class as well as making their silhouette in front of a sunset. I will teach students how to draw each part of a face throughout the weeks as we work on various projects. They'll mostly be drawing self portraits and people they know. I will need them to bring in photo references on certain weeks to work from. Enjoy a pop of color to your walls with what they bring home!
In this class, students will learn to develop their observational skills, fine-tune their technical abilities, and increase understanding of color and values.
No previous art knowledge is required. Materials include sketchbook and materials we will use in class.
Game On! Preschool Edition is a fun and engaging class designed especially for preschoolers to explore the world of board and card games in an age-appropriate way. Through hands-on play, children will practice important early learning and social skills including taking turns, following directions, listening, counting, matching, problem-solving, and good sportsmanship.
Each week students will play a variety of educational board games. Games will include topics such as logic, math, history, and science. This class is meant to be a fun gathering to make friends, while also learning a little while they play.
Requirements:
Student must have good sportsmanship skills, and be respectful of the rules and the others while they play. Must be proficient enough in reading to read rules and cards for game play.
Garden Summer Camp:

Description:
This is a CORE class that meets twice a week for the full year. CORE classes have greater expectations of students, parents, and teachers. Parents are required to attend the mandatory CORE Classes Parent Meeting immediately following Family Orientation on either August 27th at 6:45pm or August 29th at 2:45pm. In this class we will study the scientific method, earth science, chemistry, physics, and biology, in order to give students an overview and prepare them for upper level science courses. Students will learn how to take good notes, write a lab report, use a scientific calculator, and will use the scientific method during a minimum of 8 labs. We will have a few field trips where attendance is optional, but highly encouraged.
Requirements:
Students must purchase Apologia General Science 3rd Edition Textbook (It has to be the 3rd edition) and can be found cheaper on: www.christianbook.com. A TI-36X Pro calculator must is also required (It must be this specific calculator).
This year-long course is a fantastic foundation for students interested in pursuing higher-level sciences! The hands-on approach of exploring various fields of science through experiments not only makes learning engaging and interactive but also provides practical experience in applying scientific principles. By focusing on building math and study skills alongside learning how to write lab reports, students will be well-prepared for the subsequent high school science classes. Completing a minimum of 8 labs ensures that students have ample opportunity to develop their lab skills and gain confidence in conducting scientific investigations.
Requirements:
Students are required to purchase the following calculator - TI36X Pro ($20)
