We will engage your student’s imagination through read aloud stories and coordinating projects. Alternating between guided projects and ‘free play” clay. Students will be taught the basics of clay sculpture, pinch pots, coil making, slip and score and more. This tactile medium will be used to help cultivate fine motor skills, hand eye coordination, attention to detail and storytelling. The class will touch on sculptural and functional wares over the course of our 16 weeks together.
Requirements:
Students age 4 must be accompanied by someone age 12 and up. Supervising attendees may choose to pay the supply fee too if they want to make projects alongside their student.

In this class we will work on different art projects each week and afterwards students can visit different art stations to have less structured art time and get the creativity flowing.
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!
In this class, we will be looking at different World Religions and comparing them to Christianity. Students will learn what each faith believes, a brief history, and how it affects the worldview of those who believe. Faiths we will be looking at include: Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Mormonism, Jehovah's Witnesses, as well as schools of thought such as atheism, agnosticism, and nihilism.
We will be using the book, The Kingdom of the Cults Handbook by Walter Martin as our teach text.
Requirements:
Ability to write at grade level, as we will have papers due in class, and willingness to participate in class discussions.
In this class we will learn to make several basic meals you would make at home for your family. We will make meals such as: a breakfast of bacon, eggs and toast; a nice lunch of tacos, chips and salsa; a filling dinner of chicken, mashed potatoes and salad; and some dessert that could consist of things like cheesecake or chocolate chip cookies. Cleanliness & safety in the kitchen will also be taught.
Requirements:
Students must be able to keep up or have a parent assist them in class if they consistently need extra help. Student must be on time to hear instructions and get started right away.
Join us for kitchen mad science mayhem! KitMadSci provides students with a basic introduction to the scientific method through interesting experiments and demonstrations. We will perform labs such as Ice From Mars, The Torture of 1000 Pokes, Vacuumania, Under Pressure, Creatures from the Black Lagoon, Vials of Mystery, and Pop Pop Fizz Fizz, among others.
Join us for kitchen mad science mayhem! KitMadSci provides students with a basic introduction to the scientific method. We will revisit some of the labs from the fall term, such as Pop Pop Fizz Fizz, plus conduct new labs covering a wide range of science and engineering demonstrations and experiments.
New and returning students welcome.
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.
