Reading Through Storytelling

Fall 2023
Early Education
Schedule:
Tuesday - Preschool A - 131: 10:00 am - 10:50 am
Description:
This is an early reading comprehension class that uses the art of storytelling as a tool to engage the learner. Children are ready for this class if they are identifying and writing letters, connecting their sounds, are ready to start blending letters to make words, and ready to learn word families. Children who are starting to read my first reading books and level 1 books are a good fit for this class. Every week we will practice a new word family and 1 - 2 new sight words through the art of storytelling. We will learn storytelling terms such as plot, setting, protagonist, antagonist, major & minor characters, and the parts of a story: beginning, middle, end. If you have a creative storyteller at home who is ready to move on from identifying letters and sounds into blending sounds, this might be a good fit! Feel free to message me on slack with any questions.

Schedule:
Tuesday - Ceramics Studio - 004: 11:00 am - 12:50 pm
Description:
This class is for beginning and returning pottery wheel students. Students will be guided in wheel throwing techniques with the goal of making functional pieces for use in their homes and spaces. They will be encouraged to bring their own ideas to the classroom and will be given exciting demos. While this is primarily a hands-on class, students will also be keeping a pottery notebook in which they will be encouraged to write notes, journal and sketch throughout the week. Students will also receive instruction in basic terminology of the ceramics studio pertaining to clay body, stages of clay becoming ceramics and the many curious and helpful tools potters use to create their own signature style. Teaching through lecture, note taking, demonstration, and 1:1 instruction will all be explored in our studio.
Requirements:
All supplies, consumable and shared are provided with the supply fee for this class. This class is a good fit for students who work well in a multi-sensory environment as the studio is alive with sights, smells and sounds, sometimes simultaneously; all while having their hands in lots of clay and water.

The text used is easily read and comprehended. It teaches the clear-cut, decisive principles of sound politics and economics enunciated by the Founders. Part I presents the Founder's foundational beliefs about how people should be governed with some historical background. Part II consists of 28 Principles that must be understood and lived. I believe through a minimum of reading, reflecting, and discussing the 28 Principles, you will find yourself incorporating them into your life--as the Founders hoped--because they are duties and responsibilities as much as they are rights and privileges. John Adams commented that the Constitution will only provide a stable, prosperous, and nurturing society if it is practiced by a people who believe in God. Hopefully, our discussion will explore that. Reading and discussion are the core of the class. Be prepared to engage in discussion. Class is appropriate for sixth grade through high school.
Requirements:
6th-grade reading level or higher... A willingness to engage in the class...seriously, personally,
