Join us in this early elementary general science course as we learn about matter, sound, light, our solar system, Earth’s surface, food chains, weather, and much, much more. Each week we will read about the science topic, discuss a small set of vocabulary words, and do an activity or experiment.

Ages 6-9; Students should be able to independently use scissors, school glue, and general art supplies safely. Students should also be able to do 5-10 minutes of copy work and fill out a worksheet with guidance.
Living Books, as described by education expert, Charlotte Mason, are full of ideas that feed the mind and develop desirable characteristics in the listener. Throughout this class, your child will be immersed in storybooks written by authors who have passion for their subjects, use a quality conversational writing style, and inspire the listener's emotions and imagination. These living books, both old and new, are a wonderful way for students to learn about God's world and to grow in character. Each week, students will have opportunity to engage in discussion and delve into crafts or activities relating to the topic of the week.
Requirements:
Students must be able to: sit and listen to the teacher for up to 20 minutes, use typical crafting supplies (e.g. scissors, pens, glue), and participate well in group activities and discussions.
Does your middle or high school student love to read? Love fantasy? JR Tolkien is a fabulous writer who weaves together a tale filled with friendship, adventure, treasure, and a dragon. This term we will read The Hobbit and The Fellowship of the Ring. Next term we will read The Two Towers and The Return of the King. All of the reading will be done outside of class. Our class sessions will include exploring the realm of fantasy literature, learning about the author, comparing LOTR to other classic stories, and discovering biblical "treasure" within the story. In addition to reading the story, students will be writing essays, building vocabulary, and understanding literary techniques.
Parents can choose to have this course be a core class (3-4 hours of homework per week) or as an elective (1-2 hours of homework per week). Both groups will have the same in-class experience but you can choose how much outside work you want your student to have.
