The purpose of this Logic course is to enable students to recognize logical fallacies and to present powerful, carefully reasoned presentations. We will use Dr. Jason Lisle’s “Introduction to Logic” textbook and course materials to help students build a strong foundation for thinking and approaching issues. It is a year long course covering one chapter of the textbook each week. The course will be presented from a Biblical worldview and students will learn how to use sound reasoned arguments to defend Christian Faith.
Requirements:
Students will need their own copy of "Introduction to Logic" by Dr. Jason Lisle. Parents will need to get a copy of the "Teacher Guide - Introduction to Logic by Dr. Jason Lisle." Both publications are available from Amazon.com or masterbooks.com. Students please bring a water bottle, a light snack, several sharpened pencils, a few ball point pens, and 50-100 sheets of college lined binder paper. I will provide a 3-Ring binder for holding handouts and notes.

Aloha! Come with me and learn to play fun songs on the ukulele! You will learn about all the parts that make up your instrument, how to hold it, how to tune it, and how to pick/strum the strings. We will also go over the history of the ukulele and do basic note/tablature reading.
Shiela Fitzpatrick is a wife and mother of three in Vancouver, WA. She was raised in beautiful Hawaii, where she developed a deep love of the ocean, art, music, and God. She was introduced to playing music in early elementary with the ukulele. This started her journey of learning other instruments such as the guitar, drums, bass, and later playing in a few bands. Shiela served 6 years as a Combat Medic (NREMT) in the United States Army, where she received multiple awards due to her dedication and hard work. After some time with the Firmly Planted community along with a passion for learning, she has been inspired to teach at the center by offering the class, “Introduction to Ukulele”.
Requirements:
Students will need a soprano ukulele, a tuner, the ability to read letters/count, and great listening skills. I highly encourage students to practice a few times a week at home to get the most out of this class. (I can provide links to recommended instruments if needed).
Come with us, and you'll enter a world of pure imagination—filled with science, history, engineering, artistry, and Godly character.
One of the ways God designed humans is to observe His creation and be inspired to become creative thinkers and problem solvers.
Each week we will explore one of 14 inventors/scientists and their historical, extraordinary contributions. The kids will add that inventor’s picture to a world map and to a timeline. Now, for the really fun part, we will make inventions or do an activity based on that inventor’s work. For example; While studying the uber-talented Leonardo DaVinci, the kids will each design a unique "Flying" Machine. For Henry Ford, the kids will build little cars during class “Assembly Line” style. The kids will start the year designing their very own “logo” sticker that they will label all their inventions with over the term.
Once a month, students will complete a take-home project to create at home and bring back to share with the class.
Example: Each student will take home a toilet paper tube, a rubber band, a pipe cleaner, and a paper clip. Using some or all of these materials, they will invent or create anything they can imagine and bring it back to share with the class.
Resource: the book," Men of Science/Men of God"
Requirements:
Students do not need to be proficient readers or writers to participate in this class. Students should be ready to write a few words each week (they can trace or copy from the board). Students will be encouraged to follow 3-step directions, work independently, ask for help if needed, take turns, and show kindness and respect to the teacher and fellow classmates.
Once a month, students will receive a fun take-home project to complete and bring back to share with the class.
