While lapbooking our way through the human body, we will be covering the circulatory, muscular, and skeletal systems plus so much more! There will be lots of fun, engaging crafts like building a model eyeball and making a playdough digestive tract.
My goal for this class is to have FUN with the alphabet! We will be focusing on letter and sound recognition. We will regularly sing a letter sound song that is sure to get stuck in their head, and make some fun crafts for each letter that will help jog their memory on the sound it makes. Toss in some fun alphabet books and recognition games and we are all set to have some PHonics PHun!
This is a year long class.
PART ONE will be focusing on the first 13 letters along with beginning to learn what the vowels are.
Kids that will fit well with this class enjoy crafting and either don’t know their letters/sounds, or need more help remembering them.

Are you a Lego Maniac? Do you have experience building with Lego Technic? Join us this fall to have your Lego design and building skills challenged to the max with a series of increasingly difficult projects. Students will work in groups for a variety of projects: Cross-the-Gap, Bucket-ball, Sumo-bots, Mechanical Orangutan, Cat-Blaster, and more!
NOTE: THIS IS NOT A FREE BUILD CLASS! Students are expected to be fully engaged in the projects and helping solve each problem as a team member. Experience building with Lego Technic is helpful but not an absolute requirement.
Experience with Lego Technic is advantageous but not prerequisite.

In LEGO Engineering, students will get the opportunity to participate in fun STEM-based engineering builds and activities.
This semester, students will be able to create and test their own zip lines and golf “holes.” They’ll also do “earthquake tests” and build a LEGO Dominoes course.
For many of the weeks, students will get to either watch a brief video about the day’s engineering theme, or Mrs. Czerwien will read an engineering children’s picture book to introduce the theme for the day!
By the semester’s end, students will be able to take home a LEGO mini-figure, small die-cast monster truck, basic LEGO rocket, LEGO “gift boxes” made in class, and jumper plates.
In LEGO Micro Cities, students will learn how to design and create personal micro-cities that they can take home at the end of the semester.
Students will watch a brief video at the start of most class sessions to learn something new about LEGO micro-cities.
There will also be in-class examples and demonstrations so the students can learn different strategies for building their own micro-creations.
Some of the micro-city “elements” that students will learn to build include: a variety of vehicle types, houses, buildings, trees, boats, and roads.
Though the majority of the semester will involve “micro” builds, students will also get to create (and take home) a few “mini” build elements, too!
There will also be opportunities for freestyle building throughout the semester.
Lego Simple Machines & Mechanisms introduces students to the physics of simple machines as well as basic engineering and problem-solving concepts. We will be using the LEGO Education Simple Machines & Mechanisms kits along with the associated curriculum to learn about levers, inclined planes, and the more complex mechanisms derived from them. We will also work with motors, linear actuators, and pneumatics. In the spring session, we will move beyond the curriculum provided to build more advanced projects, such as Sumo-bots, and get experience with reverse-engineering. Students should have the ability to solve simple equations.
