A Sneak Peak at 2013-2014 School Year

More details will be coming but we wanted to give you some general information.

9:00 – 9:55am: World Geography Through Missions, Tuition $30
I am so excited about this class. We will be traveling around the World pulling from My Father's World curriculum: Exploring Countries and Cultures. We won't just be learning geography, we will learn about the people, the food, the cultures and God's heart for people as your kids hear amazing missionary stories. They will learn about topography with our class project of a huge 3-D map. There is no text book to purchase. Each student will need a 3-ring binder with dividers and colored pencils.
10:00 – 10:55am: Science, Tuition $30
To match up nicely with our geography class we will be doing Answers in Genesis, Properties of Ecosystems. I will be pulling from some other sources as well, but the only text book to purchase for science is this one. Each student will need a 3-ring binder with dividers for their own personalized notebook. The text book lends itself to a choice of shorter or longer homework based on the student and the rest of your school work load. As always there will be hands on experiments! I am already looking up extra ones!
9:00 – 11:30am: Kindergarten Preparation, Tuition $120 (3-5 years of age)
After lunch, parents may take preschoolers to the designated playroom if they would like to stay on campus while waiting for an older sibling to finish class.
11:00 – 11:30am: PE, Tuition $20
11:30 – 11:55am: Lunch
This is an opportunity for some social time. All classrooms and nursery are closed.
You are invited to bring your lunch and eat in the gym with your friends.
12:00 – 12:55pm: Cooking, Tuition $25 includes kitchen use and food fees. (Third graders thru 6th graders: This is an 8 week only class. Note: Spring Semester will be Beginning Sewing
The opportunity to explore the world of food can be a lifetime adventure. Students will learn how to read and follow recipes, practice kitchen safety and read food labels for nutrition. Some of the foods cooked will coincide with new cultures the students learn about in world geography class. As new cooking terms are learned, we will be on the way to becoming junior chefs!
12:00 – 12:55pm: Writing Class, Tuition $30
Emily Buller will be leading your children into story land. Their stories. She hopes to encourage both your child's love of writing and ability to do so. She is currently reviewing a couple of curriculum choices.
For those students who want to take the cooking class, they may join in the Writing Class for the second half of the semester for a fee of $15.
1:00 – 1:55pm: Latin, Tuition $30 (Third graders thru 6th graders, talk to the instructor if you feel a younger student would be ready)
Text needed: Latina Christiana I student book, from Memoria Press
Latina Christiana was designed as a beginning course for students of all ages. If you have not started Latin before, this would be a great time to join in.
