A complete English language course featuring phonics, writing, spelling, and reading. There will be required homework each week. I homeschooled 8 children as well as pursued additional teacher training. I love to see kids make progress in academics and so I present the class in a fun & engaging manner. Each child will be able to progress from their own, individual ability to higher levels. We will cover what God has to say about writing and character traits and how we should use our best efforts at improving communication skills.
Requirements:
Please bring for each child a three ring binder w/ tab dividers, notebook paper with line sizing customized for your child, and pens in black, blue, and red ink.

Schedule:
Monday - Room 102: 11:00 am - 11:50 am
Description:
This is an upbeat, fun and fast paced dance class that will incorporate multiple styles of dance such as contemporary, modern, jazz and ballet. Students will learn dance history and have an opportunity to create some of their our choreography for our Spring show. Previous dance classes are a must for your child to get the most out of this experience. Students will focus on turns, jumps, leaps, kicks and isolation's. We will warm up, stretch, do center work and across the floor exercises. Students are encouraged to explore their own style and artistry through the exposure to various styles. Along with technique we will practice expressing the emotion that makes dance come alive. Some parts will be rigorous and we will work up a sweat. Comfortable dance clothes and hair pulled off the face are preferred.Students in this class will be performing in our wonderful Spring Dance Show that is focused on the life of Christ. This class will be performing in the Spring Dance Shows the week of May 16-22, final dates TBD. Details will be provided in full at our mandatory parent meeting to be held at 7pm on Monday, February 28th. (We are adjusting some things that should enable students to invite more family and friends to enjoy the event. We are considering all young student and level one classes to be split among the performances, but also to offer more performances that will allow better viewing opportunities and parking.) Parental attendance to this meeting is mandatory in order to ensure clarity of information and the success of your dancer’s performance. Please read the updated class syllabus that is pinned to your class channel. Students taking multiple classes (or siblings) receive 25% off their second class taken with the same instructor. Fees may be paid monthly or by semester. Costume fees for the Spring Show are due at Spring registration. (Estimated $25 to rent.) Wear clothes and shoes easy to dance in. Students are encouraged to stretch and practice what they learn in class at home a few minutes each day.
