This is a year long class. I created this class thinking about all of the events I participated in growing up in school and wanting to provide a similar experience for our homeschoolers, In this "class" every week I will have a fun activity prepared for the kids, so they can talk, play and make friends. I will provide a light and usually healthy snack. Some of the activities we have had in the past include: Show and tell, trivia day, field day, dance party, scavenger hunt, treasure hunt and so much more. Come join us! Fun is guaranteed!

In this class we will read classical stories every week, as a group, with kids taking turns reading out loud and then discussing the stories we read to enhance comprehension skills and to foster a love for reading. The best way to become a great reader is by reading A LOT, and that's exactly what we will be doing in this class. This is the perfect class for kids who are struggling readers as the emphasis is on teaching reading skills.

Schedule:
Tuesday - Classroom - 224: 10:00 am - 10:50 am
Description:
In Kindergarten Math we will be using the Primer Math U See book, which will help set your student up for success in math. It covers a wide variety of concepts such as; counting objects, place value, number recognition, beginning addition and subtraction of items and numbers, measuring, skip counting by 2, 5, 10, and 100, telling time by hours and minutes, basic word problems and more! I look forward to helping you get your student ready for the math adventure that awaits them!
Normally each student would have the Primer Math U See book and test booklet (The Red ones). But since I’m trying something new and starting half way through the year. I decided I’m going to make copies from the workbook and put together weekly packets instead. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

Knots and Lashing
Ages 13yr-18yr
Ringnalda, Andrew
Fall 2023
Science
- Agriculture
Schedule:
Tuesday - Science Lab - 127: 12:00 pm - 12:50 pm
Description:
Rope-making, knots, and lashing are among mankind’s oldest technologies. We will be learning basic and advanced knots, how knots work (and how they fail), and application. What knot is best used in a specific situation? What knots should be avoided in situations where failure can mean your life?
Lashing involves using rope and knots to assemble structures. We will start with simple structures like tripods and move to bridges and trebuchets and such later in the semester as time and student skill warrant.
We will be using a variety of resources (mainly animatedknots.com and The Ashley Book of Knots) for this class which will be listed in the class syllabus. Students will be using sharp knives and marlinspikes. The only homework will be practicing the learned knots as applicable in a home/farm setting. We should be able to thoroughly cover the basics, practice repeatedly, and learn multiple applications for knots. Time permitting, we may also look at various ways to lace and tie shoes, tie ties, and possibly make some rope with simple rope-making techniques. For the spring term, there will be a continuing Knots and Lashing class to further learn about knots.
