CHC Teachers and Club Contacts (2024 - 2025):
Amber Collier soulcreativearts@gmail.com -Dance and Ballet -I am a Christian, a wife, and a homeschooling mother of 3 amazing children. I graduated from Texas A&M in 2003 and have always had an entrepreneurial spirit! My family has lived in College Station for 10 years, and I have taught ballet, locally, for the past 9. We are a Texas loving nature family! In my free time you will find me with family enjoying our ranch, hiking, reading, and spending time with my family!
Gabrielle Davis gabrielled99@protonmail.com - Pre School Classes - I am Gabrielle Davis, a local homeschooling mom of 9! I have 3 graduated so far (2 at A&M, 1 in the military), 1 in Heaven, 5 still homeschooling and I am a former kindergarten teacher at Bryan ISD. I have an Early Childhood/Elementary teaching degree from Texas A&M, Class of ‘99. I have homeschooled all of my children from the beginning and taught in many homeschool co-ops over the years from babies to high school. This is my 2nd year teaching at the CHC and I love it!!
​
Sharon Dickey mrs.dickeyasl@gmail.com - American Sign Language: A homeschooling Mom for 22 years. I have taught or been involved with ASL for more than 20years. I taught from kindergarten to adults. I have also been involved with deaf missions. For about 13 years I have taught sign language for competition. I am offering ASL 1 & 2 for high school foreign language credit. I have taught at CHC for 4 years!
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.
Cheryl Flores heartartstudios@outlook.com - Art - I have my BFA in Studio Art from SHSU. I knew from the beginning that I wanted to share my passion for the arts with children so after graduation I began working on my MEd in Curriculum & Instruction with Teaching Certification. Once certified I began teaching in public schools. While I LOVED being in the classroom inspiring all my budding artists, I soon realized that was not the right fit for me and my family. After some reflection, I decided to go out on my own, thus the fruition of Heart Art Studios was created and our homeschool journey begins!! My passion and love of creativity has stayed with me through everything I’ve taken on and that is what I hope to instill in your children - a creativity that runs so deep they can always have the confidence they need to tackle anything that comes their way. As an artist and educator, I realize the importance of allowing children to freely express themselves through their creative experiences in art. While learning the fundamentals of art, and the proper use of materials and techniques, students are guaranteed to grow as artists while having an enormous amount of fun.
Maria Gonzalez terrazafamilia@gmail.com - Physical Education (P.E.) - 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
Suzanne Gose suzanne.gose@gmail.com - Spanish and Public Speaking - Suzanne (better known as Señora Gose) is a public school teacher turned homeschooler, and earned her degree in 1999. That bachelors in Education, Public Speaking, Spanish, and English as a Second Language, plus a minor in religion gave her the springboard to teach many subjects, as well as encourage other mothers. Since 2002, she has been teaching Spanish and public speaking in the Brazos Valley. She and several other homeschooling mothers founded the CHC in 2009. She is the happily married mother to five children, all homeschooled from the beginning with just two left to graduate. The lessons from her first classes in 2002 developed into the family business, FlipFlopSpanish.com and SpanishGeniuses.com. 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.

12:00 pm High School Biology
I am excited to be teaching Biology with Dr. Wile’s new (out last summer) book Discovering Design with Biology. This course is a laboratory-based high school biology course. It is a college prep class(Honours). 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. I will have a weekly checklist for each student, so they will know the readings and homework to complete throughout the week. This is a graded course. I work with students to meet their learning styles and provide help as they travel through Biology. The student will also need a 1” 3-Ring Binder, a set of 32 colored pencils, and a composition book. The class is designed as an honors biology class and provides one high school science credit.
