Creeping Crawling Creatures
Find out what’s “bugging” you! Learn about insects, spiders, and other creatures we find crawling around outside. Each week we will learn about a different creature including their special features, their habits and their habitats. Hands-on learning will include stories, games, crafts and more.
This will be a class filled with lots of action as we learn about music from around the world with instruments, movement to music and basic music theory.
3rd-5th
Explore the amazing world of reptiles and amphibians! We will dig deep into the reptile orders of Squamata: lizards and snakes, Chelonia: turtles and tortoises, Crocodilia: alligators and crocodiles, and several members of amphibians including frogs, toads and more. We will learn new facts and encounter live animals in our class! A supply fee will be added to this class to cover an “in-class field trip” with a reptile specialist for a hands-on learning experience.
Each week this class will feature a different board game. Some will be educationally based, some will just be fun! Students will learn the basics of how to play each game and then put it into practice by participating afterwards. Some games will be: Funglish, Malestrom, Inventors, Apples to Apples, Settlers Of Catan, Mexican train dominos, Jenga and much more.
This class will focus on learning how to share the Gospel and how to defend the Christian faith. We will study the Bible and use the truth of the scripture to combat false religions and cults such as Islam, Jehovah’s Witnesses and Mormonism.
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. Class fee will be required and several laptops will be needed if you have one you can bring.
This will be an advanced cooking class as we explore creating items that all begin with the letter “C”—items may include things like couscous, cream puffs and crème brulee. In order to cover the cost of groceries, a class fee and possibly supply list will be required. Class will also be limited in size due to kitchen space.
Second Period
K-2nd
US Presidents
Hail to the chief! Here’s your chance to learn all about the presidents’ achievements, their nicknames, hobbies, even what kind of goods they ate. After you learn so much about presidents, maybe you will want to run for office someday, too.
Oceans and Continents
“Travel” the world with fun books, crafts, and foods that represent the continents and oceans of our world. We will take a journey that your students won’t soon forget! Supply fee: $5 per student (also, please list food allergies and/or restrictions).
Ancient Egypt Unit Study
Mummies and cats and pharaohs, Oh my! We’ll be learning all things about ancient Egypt!!
Come and join our book club featuring the first book of “The Indian in the Cupboard” trilogy. Bring your imagination as we go on this “little” adventure that turns out to be quite a huge one. We will discover more about the Iroquois Indians through some mini projects such as building a mini long house, developing a village, and going on a mini hunt. Let’s use our big imaginations to discover what it would be like if we were only 3 inches tall. So if you like tales of adventure, friendship, and even time travel, our book club is for you. Parent note: Easy read for 4th, 5th graders- probably 3rd/4th grade actual reading level. Students will be required to read 1-2 chapters a week at home. Class Supply Fee: $2 fee for book unless you already have a copy.
4th and up
DIY Maintenance and Repair
An exciting hands on course designed for boys that will learn basic care, maintenance, repair and small projects that can be done around the home and or a car. While learning the basics we will also be incorporating Biblical character values into our teaching to help transition young boys into God honoring young men who will walk worthy of the name of Christ.
The goal of this class is to produce a yearbook for our Co-op. The students will use and develop skills in planning, photography, journalism, and teamwork in order to accomplish the basic task of yearbook production. There will be some outside class time required for students on the yearbook staff. All students enrolling in this class must commit to performing tasks as assigned.
Shakespeare Literature Study
Do you think Shakespeare is boring or hard? Well, boy are you wrong!!! Join us as we dive into “Romeo and Juliet” and “Macbeth”. We will have lots of fun activities to bring the plays to life. Students will need a copy of “Romeo and Juliet” and “Macbeth” that they can bring to class.
Constitutional Candidates
With the election year upon us, we will be researching the candidates who wish to represent us at every level of government, from Washington DC all the way down to our local city offices. We will discover the responsibilities of each office and evaluate how they align with the Constitution. There will be research assignments to be completed outside of class. These should require no more than 1hr per week. Each family will need to purchase the book, Sovereign Duty, either in paperback ($18) or ebook ($10).
