MATHEMATICS

High School Euclidean Geometry, Wednesdays 8:15-9:00am
This year we will be rebuilding our mathematical assumptions about geometric space from the ground up. Using Euclid's Elements, we will start with the most basic of building blocks (such as: A point is a location without length or width) and work up to ever more complex ideas. Euclid's Elements was written around 300 BC and has been used for over 2,000 years to teach Geometry. The proof-based system is beneficial, not only for developing math skills, but for logic, making connections, and for developing skills such as critical thinking. Geometry builds a stronger understanding of life.

No books are necessary for this course (having The Elements is nice, but optional). We will be using handouts on which to build constructions and execute proofs. Some homework will be required in order to satisfy the requirements for a one-credit course. A small supply list is required and will become available July 1. This year-long course will supply one high school credit and prepare students for the Geometry portion of the SAT/ACT.

The goal of the class is to build confidence and enjoyment in math via a gentler, yet robust, approach.

For more information or to register, contact Emily Phillips at phillips507.emily@yahoo.com

High School Algebra, Wednesdays 3pm-4pm

We will be using a straightforward, hands-on approach to algebra covering one to three topics a week and with review problems to be done at home about 5 - 10 problems a day, 15-30 mins. Each week we will review a couple of foundation problems needed for understanding to build onto the next topic. Also each week, we will review arithmetic and problem solving strategies. I will print all necessary text and problems and provide links step-by-step videos. Each student will need a 1” - 1 ½” binder to keep their text, problem sets, and handouts, along with protractor, ruler, pencils. I have tutored algebra, geometry and test prep for TSI the last three years. Please ask me if you have any questions. I designed this class to be full of “wins” for the student to build their confidence and succeed in math. The course is one high school math credit.

Cost : One time materials fee - $40 ( printed text, notebook and handouts), $50/month. Ask me about discounts.

Middle School General Science (Chemistry and Biology), 7th-8th grade, Wednesdays 1pm-2pm:

In this middle school general science class for grades 7-8, ages 12-14, I will be using the textbook Science in the Atomic Age by Jay Wile (Berean Builders) to build the foundation of Chemistry and Biology which will be further explored in the high school classes. This hands-on, laboratory-based, science course starts by describing our current understanding of atoms, molecules, the chemicals that are necessary for life, DNA, and cells. It then moves on to discuss the levels of organization found in creation covering how cells work together to make tissues, organs, systems, organisms, and all the way up to the forming biomes.

We will meet each week to complete or set up labs, review chapter material and answer questions. I will have a syllabus with assignments and due dates to help the student break up the material into manageable chunks each day.

This can be a graded course, introducing note taking, test taking skills, and getting them ready for high school science courses. I work with students to meet their learning styles and provide help as they move through the course.

We will be using Science in the Atomic Age by Dr. Jay Wile. This can be easily found, used or purchased new at bereanbuilders.com. There is also an audio version to go along with the text for our auditory learners. The students will also need the Tests and Answers Key book.

Cost : One time lab materials fee - $60 (includes labs and workbook)

$60/month (December/May-$30)

High School Biology: Wednesdays, 2 pm-3 pm

I am excited to be teaching Biology with Dr. Wile’s Berean Builders book Discovering Design with Biology. Each student will also need the Answer Key and Tests booklet. This course is a laboratory-based high school biology course. It is a college prep class (Honors). It can also be adapted to a regular level Biology class. It gives the student an introduction to how living organisms are designed, how they interact with one another, and how they interact with their physical environment. Students are taught how biologists classify life, the chemical processes that make life possible, the structures of RNA and DNA, and the designs of the different cells found in living organisms. Students also learn the means by which photosynthesis, cellular respiration, and cellular reproduction occur. They then learn about the current state of biotechnology. With the molecular and cellular basis of life covered, the students are then given a survey of the different kinds of organisms found in nature: archaea, bacteria, protists, fungi, invertebrates, vertebrates, and plants. The students then learn the biogeochemical cycles that keep environments hospitable to life, which leads to a discussion of ecosystems. Throughout the course, students see that life is the result of design and that organisms have been given the ability to adapt to their surroundings. In addition, they learn about various problems associated with modern evolutionary synthesis.

We will meet each Wednesday to complete the labs, microscope work, and dissections. We will also review material and answer questions. This is a graded course. I work with students to meet their learning styles and provide help as they travel through Biology. I will provide a syllabus with weekly assignments and due dates. The class provides one high school science credit with an Honors option.

PHYSICAL EDUCATION (P.E.)

Ballet Classes for ages 3 - 12. Classical ballet in a fun and creative atmosphere. Levels at the CHC include Tiny Tots (age 3) through ballet III up to 15 years old. Joy of Dance Ballet School holds an annual ballet recital in May. More information here. Email Amber Collier at soulcreativearts@gmail.com to register.

PE (Physical Education) - Taught by Maria- terrazafamilia@gmail.com

Class will be held outside and the children will migrate toward the park-like area. If it rains or the weather is not looking favorable we will have class inside, unless the center is not permitting. If that is the case, class will be canceled for the day. Each week will focus on a different part of the body (lower, core, upper body) and this will start over monthly. The main goal with this is to make sure they learn good form and familiarize themselves with the stretches and workouts so that they may do this at home or on their own time correctly. Here is a summary of the monthly agenda. 1st 30-40 minutes of class: We will start off with stretching, drills, shutter runs followed by a workout: 1st Week - Lower Body: Squats, Lunges, Crab walk, etc. 2nd Week - Core: Sit-ups, Plank, Bicycle Crunch, etc. 3rd Week - Upper Body: Push Ups, Triceps Dips, Arm curls, etc.. 4th Week - Will get our steps in and walk the trails of Legends. This could include a scavenger hunt along the way for the smaller age class. I'm hoping they can take in nature and learn to love taking strolls. Last 20-30 minutes of class: After the "workout" session ends the class turns into a child-led P.E. class. There are opportunities and encouragement to practice jump rope, play basketball, and football, and/or just skate at the skate park or play at the park. Skates, skateboards, scooters, and bicycles are welcome. Please send your child with all safety attire needed to use their equipment. Class will be held outside. Please send your child with a bottle of water, a rain jacket if it's sprinkling, and sunscreen if needed. To avoid using the public restroom out in the park area please have your child use it inside of Legend Event Center (those are cleaner) before class. Classes start at $10/class for yearly payments plus a registration fee of $10 For more information and/or to sign up click the link https://forms.gle/uK9imwpduqwc2MhH6

ART

3pm-4pm Water Color Painting Ages 13- adults

My goal in this class is to teach the foundations of watercolor techniques, brush work, with an emphasis on loose floral; so by the end of the year students will leave class with the skills and techniques to paint on their own.
