Kenneth Fleming kenneth@sciencebetweenthepages.com - Science - Dr. Kenneth Fleming has been teaching science in the Bryan/College Station community since 2009. His passion for understanding how people learn science inspired him to pursue graduate education at Texas A&M University. His research narrowed to investigating how difference-makers in the informal science education community shape exhibits and experiences that support families learning science together outside the classroom. As an adjunct faculty member at Texas A&M University, he continues to prepare current and future educators to work with young children and to teach science through hands-on activities.

Nicole Fleming nicole@sciencebetweenthepages.com - Science - Nicole's new science learning and teaching journey started in 2012 and as her oldest daughter grew and they continued to have more children, Nicole offered more and more science classes. One of Nicole's favorite things about teaching at the Community Homeschool Center is the freedom to teach topics that she is interested in and to share her excitement about God and His creation with so many families in the Brazos Valley. This flexibility has given her the freedom to give credit for all these wonders to our magnificent God and Creator.

Maria Gonzalez terrazafamilia@gmail.com - I am a homeschooling mom of 3. I have worked with art all my life but professionally for 10 years. I co-owe an art business were we do murals and all forms of art for the Brazos Valley and surrounding counties. I am offering a beginner art class at the CHC for homeschoolers for ages 6+.

She travels the nation, giving workshops and seminars on various topics, as well as speaking on leadership panels and encouraging homeschoolers in every state.

Ashley Kinnard akinnard97@gmail.com - Writing and Literature - Ashley graduated from Texas A&M University with a BBA in Marketing in 1998. After working in business consulting for a few years, she began working for her alma mater in the Career Center and Mays Business School. Years of reading honors business applications, resumes, cover letters, and other essays opened her eyes to importance of communication through the written word. Later, as Ashley embarked on the homeschooling journey with her own four kids, she went though training courses on teaching writing composition, not only so she could help her own children excel, but to teach area homechoolers as well. Because literature helps students and adults understand their lives and the world around them, as well as develop imagination, and empathy, it has always been a focal point for her as a teacher. As a result, she has been teaching English classes, essay writing, and/or literature, for eight years at the CHC and a local co-op.

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. Some examples of the techniques we will cover are water control, brush strokes, mark making, value study, wet on dry, wet on wet, washes, backgrounds, composition, quality supplies, how to care for supplies, and of course how to paint flowers and leaves and a landscape. I want to share my love for this beautiful medium of watercolor so others can express their story through it as well. This class is intended to be a full year class as the lessons build on each other for a well rounded learning experience. I only have 17 spots available this year.
