Nursery is for those kiddos birth and up who are not potty trained.

We will have fun making colorful crafts each week. From snowflakes to animals and lots in between!

Each week we will learn something new about music. Could be an instrument that we will make, or listening to music while drawing or reading a book or playing a game to music.

Let’s have fun with board games! We’ll learn and play at the same time! Games played will range from Candy Land to Chess. Students will also be encouraged to bring their favorite game to share with the class.

Let’s be spies! We’ll enjoy puzzles, laser mazes, codes and ciphers in Spy School. We’ll also go on missions, scavenger hunts, and learn how to pass intel. This class will be fun and we’ll learn some stuff too!

In this class, we will practice painting techniques, which we will use to paint landscapes (nature scenery pictures), with acrylic paint. We may use some YouTube videos, to learn from other artists. This class will be more focused and structured than others that I have done; therefore, it's imperative that students are interested in landscape painting, and willing to try new things. Students should wear clothes that they don't mind getting stained, or wear protective aprons or paint shirts over them.

God's creation is unique and creative and in this year-long class we will study His winged creatures of all kinds: from honeybees to pterodactyls.
We will have fun with hands-on activities in class and you can count on weekly homework assignments of reading, worksheets, and research.
Students will be required to take notes and take part in all classwork. Students will need to bring their journals every week. The more you put in, the more you will get out!

*each family will need one Apologia Flying Creatures of the Fifth Day textbook

This is year long course using the Apologia General Science 2nd edition text.
The class has two main purposes, first to learn the information in the text, second to gain study skills. The book has a similar format to the high school Apologia courses, but less material. It provides a bridge from the younger books to the other secondary science courses.
The Apologia description says, “General Science is written for students in 7th grade. It can also be used for 8th graders especially if the student has not met the 7th grade math prerequisite for Physical Science, our 8th grade course. The course covers such topics as the scientific method, designing experiments, simple machines, archaeology, geology, paleontology, biology, and human anatomy and physiology. Its scope, therefore, is quite wide. There are many hands-on experiments to do, which all use household items.”
The course can be taken for a grade or not. Students need to put in a genuine effort either way Expect to spend 4-5 hours a week on the class. Most of the experiments will be done in class.
Students will need the text and solutions manual. A couple the many possible sources- https://www.apologia.com/general-sc/178-exploring-creation-with-general-science-2nd-ed-2- book-set.html
or at CBD https://www.christianbook.com/apologia-exploring-creation-general-science-basic/ jay-wile/pd/238409
There is an audio version of the book in addition if that would be helpful.

First Year Chemistry
Chemistry is one of the two foundational sciences (Physics is the other) and certainly the most abstract of the sciences. The study of chemistry focuses on using observations to infer what is happening at a level that cannot be seen with the unaided eye. Through demonstrations, lab activities and discussion, we will explore the nature of matter, the chemical elements, and how chemical reactions affect us every day. The overall goal of the course will be to give students a solid understanding of basic chemistry concepts. My personal goal is not to “cover” chemistry ideas, but rather to “uncover” the excitement of science that is often hidden in textbooks.
