Students will build on their artistic skills and emotion that they learned in previous lyrical classes. Student’s dance skills will be strengthened as they will continue to explore dance as an art and means of communicating ideas. We will be dancing with props such as long skirts, sheets of fabric, ribbons and scarves. Level three students will get opportunities to explore working on their own choreography as well as on a shadow dance project. Students should wear loose-fitting clothes, ballet, jazz, or lyrical shoes. This is a year long class and students will be asked to commit to attending for the entire year. Students are encouraged to take a strength and conditioning class as well. We recommend Ballet Strength and Technique, Ladies Cardio, Weights, Fun, and Done, or a Teen Fitness class.

Marine Biology With Salt Water Fish Tank
Ages 12yr-18yr
Hill, Nancy
Fall 2021
Science
Schedule:
Wednesday - Classroom - 220: 3:00 pm - 3:50 pm
Description:
Do you feel drawn to the ocean with fascination for the creatures that inhabit it? Join me as we study the basic chemistry and building blocks of life, marine plants and animals, and the ecosystems of the sea. We will also study these things up close and personal as we start up the Center's huge saltwater fish tank. This is the first half of a two-semester course. While we will be reading a high school level science book, this course is appropriate for upper middle school students as well as high school, and is equivalent to one science credit (if both semesters are completed.) Each student will be required to acquire and keep a loose leaf lab notebook and will be graded on the contents of that notebook. The required text for this class is Apologia's "Exploring Creation with Marine Biology." Please bring both the textbook and the lab notebook to each class each week. Daily reading assignments from the required text, worksheets and tests will be done at home while class time will be devoted to lab experiments, microscopic study, observation and documentation. An average of 5 hours of homework expected each week, but middle school students will be offered a modified homework schedule.
**This class is only 15 weeks long this term as the teacher will be out of town the second week of class. Admin and teacher fees have been adjusted.

Neal, Melanie
Winter/Spring 2021

Schedule:
Tuesday - Art Studio - 129: 3:00 pm - 3:50 pm
Description:
The race to land humans on Mars is on! Utilizing the 2020 4-H STEM Challenge and hands-on activities, we will explore what it takes to make a manned mission to another planet a possibility. We will complete a collection of games, projects, and activities that teach your students about STEM skills like mechanical engineering, physics, and agriculture. With the Landing Zone Surveyor activity, we will attempt to land on Mars and discover features that are important for setting up a base camp. In Crop Curiosity, kids will learn about biology, environmental science, and agriculture to grow nutritionally efficient food on Mars. (Interested students may take it further at home, learning Computer Sciences with Insight To Mars, an activity that teaches kids to code and share a discovery they made on Mars using CS First and Scratch.) Students will each keep a discovery log as they explore the red planet. Once we’ve learned what a trip to Mars will require, on to Red Planet Odyssey, an unplugged activity where kids will use engineering skills to build a vehicle that can explore the surface of Mars! We will learn about our solar system, outer space, and about some of the amazing people who explore it.

Schedule:
Wednesday - Gymnasium - GYM: 3:00 pm - 3:50 pm
Description:
Mashoonga offers more than just a fun sparring activity with foam sabers; it's a platform for students to cultivate honor, sportsmanship, and character. While the thrill of the game is undeniable, the core values of honesty, self-regulation, and integrity are emphasized throughout. Underneath the excitement of wielding foam sabers lies a structured game with clear rules and expectations of conduct. Through Mashoonga, students not only learn physical skills but also develop important life skills such as teamwork, respect for opponents, and resilience. It is essential to acknowledge the inherent risks associated with any contact sport. Safety measures and supervision are prioritized to minimize the possibility of injury while ensuring that students can fully immerse themselves in the experience.
