This is a CORE class that meets once a week for the full year. Parents are required to attend the mandatory Core Parent Meeting immediately following Family Orientation on either August 24th at 2pm, August 24th at 6pm, September 7th at 2pm, or September 7th at 6pm.
Utilizing courses from Hillsdale College (online.hillsdale.edu), this class will cover the basics of civics. These will include the founding documents that form the basis for the US government and its structure (Articles of Confederation, Declaration of Independence, US Constitution) and the writings of the men who wrote these documents (Federalist Papers and Anti-Federalist Papers). We will then proceed to studying the three constitutional branches of government, citizenship, and current challenges.
Students will need to create a free account with Hillsdale College Online. We will be using several of their online courses as the basis for this year-long course: Intro to the Constitution, Constitution 101, Constitution 201, Federalist Papers, Presidency and the Constitution, US Supreme Court, Congress: How it Works and Why It Doesn’t, Public Policy from a Constitutional Viewpoint, Civil Rights in American History, American Citizenship and Its Decline, and The American Left: From Liberalism to Despotism. Parents should preview these online lessons, as they often deal with controversial issues and are intended for college students.
Students should expect to spend about 1 hour each school day studying for this course by watching the Hillsdale lectures and doing any associated readings. Instructor will administer and correct tests and keep grade records.
Requirements:
Students will need an internet connection to view the course materials.
Students will use hand building techniques (pinching, coil building, slab work and kurinuki) to create functional wares. Functional wares may include: mug, plate, bird house, bowl, spoon rest, toothbrush holder, etc. Focus will be invited to give attention to the thickness of the piece, the finish of the piece: does it feel too heavy, too rough, are the joins well attended and clean? Creativity is invited to the class; functional pottery is amazing to explore.
Students will learn all about our wonderful state of WA in a fun, interactive history class for 4th and 5th grade students. Students will create interactive notebooks, discover the Corp of Discovery through literature, participate in reader's theatre, and most importantly, learn the history of the people and events that shaped our state. Bring a composition notebook, pencils, scissors, colored pencils. For second semester, the novel The Captain's Dog
