Fall 2017 Class Descriptions

1st Period


K-2nd

Book Sparks Art: Fire up your creativity and create a variety of art pieces. We will read books that will spark our imaginations and help us learn about different art techniques. We will use materials like watercolors, clay, oil pastels, and others create beautiful pieces of art.

Native Americans Unit Study: We will study different tribes and their culture. We will make some examples of their clothing, games, housing and food. The Semester will culminate with a “show and tell” pow wow where students will bring in either something they have made or collected that relates to one of the specific tribes.

3rd – 5th

Ancient History Unit Study:  In this class, we will be using The Story of the World,  Volume 1: Ancient Times to introduce ancient history to elementary students. The time span will be approximately from Sargon and the Akkadians, to Ashurbanipal’s Attack and the Library of Nineveh.  We’ll be doing read-alouds each week, along with questions, narration exercises, map work, coloring pages and activity projects to accompany the text.  I hope this class brings ancient history to your child in an engaging and memorable way. Supply fee $5.00 per student

Christmas Ornaments: Homemade Christmas ornaments not only look great on the Christmas tree, but can also make great gifts.  Join your Co-Op friends as we make twelve unique ornaments.  Keep all twelve ornaments to start your own collection, or give them to friends and family as a Christmas gift.  Supply fee: $8 per student.

6th and up

Lego Mindstorm: This class is an introduction to programming robots using the LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Robotics System. Working in small groups, students will use a computer to program their robot to move, react, and make sounds in order to solve challenges.  As time allows, topics will include motor control, sensors, timing, program loops, logic gates, decision-making, timing sequences, and binary number systems as well as problem solving strategies. Supply Fee: $15 per student will be required and several laptops will be needed if you have one you can bring.

Jewish Holidays and Feasts: Through reading, food, and celebration traditions, this class will explore some of the greatest Jewish Holidays and how they relate to our lives today.   Supply Fee: $2 per student.

Trash to Treasure: In this class we will take ordinary household items and upcycle them into usable items.  There are so many things thrown away each day that could be given a new purpose. We will take trash and make it into treasure!! Supply Fee: $10 per student.

9th and up

Classic French Cooking:  This will be an advanced cooking class for students who are ready to tackle some new challenges in the kitchen.  We will create many classic French dishes such as crepes, quiche, chocolate mousse, French onion soup and beef bourguignon as well as learn some basic French phrases and words.   (Note: This class will be limited to 8 students and will have a supply fee of $25 per student.  In addition, students will need to bring their own basic kitchen tools each week–a complete list will be provided before the semester begins.)   
Second Period

K-2nd

Geography:  This class will study world geography and maps and will include various hands on activities. Supply Fee: TBD

“My Father’s Dragon” Literature Study:  Lions, tigers, and …..a baby dragon? Oh my! Come on a fun adventure with this classic fantasy literature study, My Father’s Dragon by Ruth Stiles Gannett. Lots of hands-on, fun, and engaging activities to make this book a sure winner in the heart of your child.

3rd – 5th
Lego Building and Challenges: The students will be given basic challenges and encouraged to work cooperatively to build and present their Lego creations. They will have the opportunity for creative building as well as using problem solving and learning science concepts through the lessons presented each week. Supply fee: $5 per student.

3rd – 6th
See the Light Art: We’re picking up where we left off last semester with all new lessons, but even if you haven’t taken the previous lessons, you can still join.  We will also complete a special project. This class will use the DVD series “See the Light” where master artist, Pat Knepley, teaches step-by-step drawing lessons combined with Scripture.  (Supply fee: $10 for first time students to this class for an art kit that the student will use in class and will keep at the end of the semester. No fee for returning students unless all supplies need to be replaced.)
6th and Up

Stop Motion Film Making: Stop motion animation is a filming technique where you take MANY individual photos in a sequence, changing the photo only slightly each time.  The pictures are then played back rapidly to create the appearance of movement.  This class will be a lot of fun and harness students’ creativity.  However, keep in mind that this process takes patience and attention to detail, so please consider that when deciding if your student would like this class. For example, 10 pictures are taken for every second of film, so it is not a quick process.  But, the end results are so fun!
In this class, students will learn various stop motion animation techniques including time-lapse, using green screen, adding audio and special effects.  Various props such as Legos, Stick Bots, and clay with be used.  After several weeks of learning and practicing techniques, students will work in small groups to plan and write their own scripts and then create their own unique short films. Supply Fee: TBD The class will also need laptops/tablets and cameras so if your student is able to bring either or both of those items, that will be very helpful.  

Mock Trial: We will learn about the judicial system as we explore the world of lawyers, defendants, judges, and jurors. Students will develop skills in critical thinking, abstract thinking, organization, research, public speaking, and teamwork as they prepare for and participate in a Mock Trial.
8th and Up

“The Screwtape Letters” Literature Study: Each week we will discuss two or three chapters of this book by C.S. Lewis. (The chapters are short.) Students will need to read the assigned portion before each class and be ready to participate in discussion and related activities. No supply fee is required, but each family will need to obtain a copy of the book.
