IEW 2-3rd Grade
Instructor: Kristi Combs
Email: kristicombs111 [at] gmail [dot] com
Grades: 1st-3rd (ages 6-9)
Monthly Cost: $30
Material Fees: $30
Early Readers Grades 1-3
Cost: $30 per month with a one time $30 materials fee.
Required textbook: Primary Arts of Language: Reading Student Book
Available from Institute for Excellence in Writing (IEW.com) or Christian Book Distributors (CBD.com)
Does your child know the letter sounds but is struggling to take off reading independently? The Early Readers class is an in depth review of basic phonics skills. This class teaches decoding skills by direct instruction. Students will study the patterns and rules of the English language, including vowel and consonant sounds, syllable rules, punctuation, homophones, diagrams, and consonant blends. We will work to recognize often used words by sight. Students will receive instruction in how to correctly divide and sound out syllables in new or longer words. This fun and engaging class will offer practice for students encountering language difficulties and will endeavor to offer unique remedial solutions for reluctant or struggling young readers.
Students enrolled in this class must have already completed a basic introduction to phonics. This is not a class for first introduction to letter sounds. Also, this class will probably move too slowly for students who are already fluent readers.

Foundational Language Arts
Name of class: Foundational Language Arts A & CInstructor: Sherry Osborne level A; Marci Wallace level C
Email: sherry.osborne@gmail.com marci.wallace@live.com
Phone: Sherry (843) 209-7441 Marci (843) 364-7079
Grades: all ages
Monthly Cost(s): $28
Materials fee: $30
Class time: 11:00 level A; 10:00 level C
Required Textbook: Level A first year parents need to purchase the SWR Core Teacher’s Kit available from www.swrtraining.com or arrange to borrow. Level C needs to purchase phonogram flashcards & WISE Guide by Wanda Sanseri
Pre-requisites: All Levels need to learn the basic alphabet sounds and be able to write in cursive *before* SHEEP begins due to limited class time. New parents to level A are required to attend the SHEEP class with their child to be trained in the method (Younger siblings might be able to use the nursery.) This is a core class, not an extracurricular class, so it requires weekly homework completion! Assignments are given four days each week, and should take 45-60 minutes each day. PLACEMENT-Contact the teacher for evaluation BEFORE REGISTERING. Placement is based on skill level and grade.
Supplies:
Course Description:
Most educators today teach reading first and expect that if a person reads a word often enough he will learn to spell it. Experience does not support that theory. Furthermore, “Researchers note that in nine cases out of ten the most glaring handicap or deficiency of entering college freshmen is in spelling” (Sanseri, p10). Spelling is the more precise skill and reading is a natural outgrowth of spelling instruction. We present the language in a way that has few exceptions and students are taught how to analyze the reasons behind a word’s spelling and pronunciation. This program addresses reading fluency issues and the often resulting reading comprehension problems.All levels use the same phonograms, spelling rules, and multi-sensory methods but the application level will differ with each class. **Foundations classes satisfy elementary language arts needs for your student to include derivatives, Greek & Latin roots, grammar, and sentence composition. Please do not use another reading/phonics program on top of Foundations workload!
Level A is for beginning or non-readers.
Level B & C is for older students who are already reading & spelling.
SYLLABUS:
COURSE WORKLOAD- In addition to class time with the Teacher-Mentor, students will be expected to complete assignments four days each week, which should take 45-60 minutes each day. Later in the year Level B & C students will be asked to read 30-45 minutes each day from books that coordinate with other areas of study or books that are of interest to the student.
Communication
Level A class, by Sherry Osborne, prefers to give homework via a private Facebook group and text messages. Please let me know if you are not on FB.
Level C class, by Marci Wallace, prefers to send homework via email and text message.
Why must I attend my child’s class at SHEEP? Parent training is necessary because it is extremely rare to find adults today who were taught to read using explicit phonics. Most learned to read using whole word or “look-say” methods with a smattering of phonics, if any at all. Because of the misinformation about the language and faulty methods used, English is commonly dismissed as illogical and inconsistent. Using the 70 basic phonograms and the 28 reliable spelling rules in Spell to Write and Read (SWR), we can explain 98% of the most frequently used words in the language.
It is also necessary for you to sit in the SHEEP class because the students will be working with me in the classroom for only 50 minutes a week while the parents will be teaching the remainder of the week. It is crucial for the parents to learn the program in order to effectively teach and reinforce it with their children!
Why is cursive required? Prior to the 1930s cursive was taught instead of print. It helps with letter reversals (dyslexia), letter spacing, writing speed, and the formation works with the child’s natural development. To learn more on this see http://HomeSchoolSupport.net/18<http://homeschoolsupport.net/18> It is recommended once your child has learned the alphabet, that cursive be the primary handwriting method for ALL written work to prevent confusion, especially for the younger child.

IEW Elementary (“1st year”) – All Things Fun & Fascinating
Instructor: Kim Murphy, Certified IEW Instructor, IEW Online Instructor
Email: literallykim5@gmail.com
Phone: 843-377-5069
Grades 4-6, must be at least 10 years old.
Monthly Cost(s): $34 per month
Materials fee: $35
Required text: IEW’s All Things Fun and Fascinating, second edition, January 2012. I will purchase this for you with your materials fee.
Prerequisite: This class is for students at least 10 years old, regardless of what grade they are in.
Supplies: 1” 3-ring binder, with 4 separate tabs for Current Work, Completed Work, Resources, and Paper
I prefer students use pens in class because they write more easily and require less pressure….and they rarely break.
Course description: This is a “first step” upper elementary class for students with little writing experience. They will need to be able to copy board notes in class. Neatness and spelling are not important, but speed is helpful! Homework each week can be hand-written or typed. Feel free to contact me if you’re wondering which class is the best fit for your student.
Parents are expected to help their students with their weekly homework and edit the student rough drafts. Consistent parental involvement and communication with me are extremely important for students to make progress in their writing skills in this class.
Class size is limited due to the time it takes to grade homework and my own tenuous mental health. ;) If you want your child to take IEW but they don’t make it into the class, please feel free to email me. You have many options for doing this at home and I’m happy to offer advice. IEW also offers online classes.

Reading Skills - Reading Comprehension
Reading Comprehension
Instructor: Tiffany Norwood
Email: tnorwood11@ hotmail.com
3rd-6th grade
Monthly Cost: $25
Material Cost: $25
Let's learn to dig deep when reading! For this class your child must be able to read and write on his/her own. I am not teaching how to read but building comprehension skills, which must come after learning to read.
This class will cover reading comprehension skills. These skills are the foundation of good reading comprehension. It will be beneficial for children beginning these skills or as a review for children who already know these skills. Students will be introduced to the skill, then taught how to apply the skill while reading.(Students will be given texts on their level.)
We will learn through a multi sensory approach so come ready to interact and learn. Skills are: genre, author’s purpose, narrative elements, relating to text, prediction, fact and opinion, sequencing, compare/contrast, problem/solution, supporting details, cause and effect, main idea, context clues, character analysis, inferences, theme/moral, summarizing, author’s style/tone, and figurative language. We will go over these skills the first half of the year through different texts. The second half of the year we will dig deeper using all of these skills as we read 3-4 different chapter books.

COURSE DESCRIPTION
Legends & Leagues East
The East Storybook follows Mr. Longitude and Mr. Latitude as they go east with a girl named Momochan to attempt to defeat the evil beast called a bunyip. As they journey from place to place they encounter dragons, fairies, baku, kangarros, a terra-cotta army, and even Captain Nemo.

Grades: 4th - 8th
Monthly Cost: $25
Materials Fee: $22
Class Time: 10am
Required Textbook: Creation to the Resurrection, Mystery of History, Volume 1 by Linda Lacour Hobar.
Course Description:
Volume I of The Mystery of History covers world history from Creation to the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Included in Volume I are the chronologically based stories from all around the world. Beginning with the Garden of Eden, stories will spread from Sumer and Babel to Troy, Phoenicia, and Assyria. The study of early civilizations will include King Wu of China and Asoka of India as well as King David, Julius Caesar, and Xerxes of Persia. Above all, a favorite feature of Volume I is the weaving of Bible history with world history. More examples of interesting figures that lived just decades apart include: Joshua and King Tut; Ruth and Helen of Troy; Daniel and Aesop; Ezekiel and Buddha; and Nehemiah and Socrates.
Students are required to read each of those lessons and be prepared to discuss them. The children enjoy this history class as we bring these events to life - sometimes tasting food from that area, acting out the battles, dressing up as our favorite person, bringing in Lego creations that illustrate our topics, etc. This class is structured so that it fits all the different ages and allows the parents to decide how lightly or deeply to go in each lesson. All pretests, tests and exercises (worksheets) are up to the parents to give and grade. The goal is to help the children find a love of history, not by listing the facts and memorizing the dates, but understanding what happened and why that is important.

Required Textbook: None
Pre-requisites: None
Supplies: Pencil each week
Description:
Come learn about the ocean! This class is intended to be more than a repeat of an aquarium membership. We will dive into more in-depth information about the ocean with hands-on learning of: plate tectonics, ocean topography, bodies of water, currents, tides, how the ocean relates to weather, survival techniques, and more. There are a few special presentations throughout the year including a sea-creature report and we will learn a knot of the month. This class will also incorporate the scientific principles taught in PBS’s educational 1984 series “Voyage of the Mimi.” The premise of this series is a ship taken out to sea by scientists taking a census of humpback whales. Though this series is a bit dated in technology, it is full of great information. I leave it up to each family to discuss their beliefs at home regarding evolution/creation and young/old earth. I will keep in touch through email when sensitive topics arise and am happy to answer any questions.

Grades 1-6
Monthly fee: $25
Materials fee: $16
Class time: 10 am
Required Textbook: Exploring Creation with Astronomy (SECOND EDITION) by Jeannie Fulbright
Pre-requisites: None
What is Astronomy? Why did God create the universe? Should Pluto really be a planet? And what does it take to become an astronaut? We will find the answers to these questions and many more as we study Exploring Creating with Astronomy!
Exploring Creation with Astronomy is another of the courses in the wonderful Young Explorer Series by Apologia. These courses are designed to be easy to use for elementary students and the textbook is written in a conversational style directly to the student to make it appealing to them. Additionally, this new edition of the text has been updated with more current scientific information, is more colorful and has great current satellite images to help grab your child’s interest. As with all the Apologia elementary books, students will continue the practice of narration, and enjoy many hands on projects and experiments throughout the course. On average, we will spend 2 weeks on each lesson.
This book begins with a lesson on the nature of astronomy, and then it covers the major structures of our solar system. Starting with the sun and working towards Neptune, the student will learn details about all the planets in the solar system. Along the way, the student will also learn about Earth’s moon, the asteroid belt, and the Kuiper belt. After that, the student will move outside our solar system and learn about the stars and galaxies that make up God’s incredible universe. Finally, the student will learn about space travel and what it takes to be an astronaut! Some of the activities and projects include making a solar eclipse, simulating the use of radar to determine a hidden landscape, making a telescope, and making an astrometer to measure the brightness of a star.
Your student will need the textbook, Exploring Creation with Astronomy, 2nd edition by Jeannie Fulbright. Notebooking journal is optional.

A variety of teaching methods, such as songs, games, worksheets and hands-on activities will be used to teach concepts. Spanish-speaking countries anc culture will also be introduced. Homework will be sent home weekly. These assignments are meant to reinforce what is learned in class and to give students extra practice. I will collect homework each week and take it home to be graded. I will keep a record of grades, but only for informational purposes and to provide parents with feedback on their students’ progress, if they desire. Students will earn credits for completing homework that they can use in a class store 2x a year.

Fun With Music
Instructor: Mrs. Lindsay M. Hendrix
E-Mail: shlmhomeschool@gmail.com
Phone #: (843) 425-2110
Grades: 1st - 5th Grades
Monthly Cost(s): $25.00
Materials Fee: $15.00
Class Time: 10:00 am - 10:50 am
Required Textbook: None
Prerequisites: An eagerness to learn to read and make music.
Supplies: No supplies needed for this class.
Course Description: This course is for the beginner student who has a love for music and an eagerness to learn how to read and play music. Students will learn to read music, including, but not limited to: note names & locations on the staff, note & rest values, staff names, rhythms, dynamics, and so much more. Students will learn how to find the beat of a given piece of music by feeling the beat and clapping, snapping, and tapping their foot to keep the music’s beat. We will also learn how to play simple childhood songs and Christian hymns/music using the BoomWhacker Instrument. (Please feel free to investigate this awesomely creative musical instrument. There are many great videos depicting what it can do on YouTube.)
There will be homework in this course of a simple worksheet or two, practicing beats, etc. Music cannot be learned in a only one day a week setting, but it can be learned and enjoyed with even a minimum of 10 minutes of practice every other day or two. This can be done in the car and does not have to be done in a formal setting. Practice should be fun!
My goal is to nurture the love of music your child has and take it to a new level that they are able to appreciate the technical part of music and turning it into the ability to read and make music as a group. It is also my goal to take part in the End-Of-Year School Program and perhaps also the Christmas Program. It will be my joy and honor to teach your children what music is all about in the 2019-2020 school year.

Young Peace Makers

We all experience conflict—at every age and stage of life. Some of us choose to try to avoid it. Some of us go on the attack, get angry, and explode. Some of us are able to work it out. But what is God’s plan for handling conflict? This is the question we will answer as we seek to become peacemakers.
This class is built around the book The Young Peacemaker by Corlette Sande. The Young Peacemaker teaches children how to prevent and resolve conflict in a constructive and biblically faithful manner. We will emphasize the principles of confession, forgiveness, communication, and character development. Some of the questions we will answer include: What is at the heart of conflict? Is it possible to honor God in conflict? How can you take responsibility for your part in a conflict? How can we mend relationships after conflict?
The goal in this class will be for your children to learn to better understand conflict, to respond to conflict in a biblical, God honoring way, and to learn practical ways to prevent conflict. There will be opportunities for scripture memorization, writing and acting out skits dealing with specific conflict situations, fun games and activities with real life applications, and thoughtful discussion. Let’s learn how to be peacemakers!
“If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.” –Romans 12:18

Chess Class
Beginning Chess Club
Instructor: Sherry Osborne
Email: sherry.osborne@gmail.com
Grades: 2nd grade & up
Monthly Cost(s): $25
Materials fee: $45 (per family-see note)
Class time: 12:10
Pre-requisites: none
Supplies: A divider section in their binder or a folder with pencils brought to class each week
The educational benefits of chess is indisputable! This problem solving game requires one to think ahead, improves memory, and increases math scores. In short, chess is a brain booster! The Beginning Chess Club will focus on two books: Chess Basics and Chess Openings. Rather than trying to figure out the various skills each player has, we will all begin with the basics and progress to more advanced concepts to prevent experienced players from getting bored. Students will learn the pieces, their values, the best strategies for each piece, and learn the most important squares to control. They begin with playing pre-chess games that grow in difficulty. They will then learn opening moves like the Queen’s Raid, Two Knight’s Defense, and the Stonewall. These aggressive, open games will put students of the offense and make their games more exciting. To learn these skills, we will use short video lessons taught by an educator, Coach Steve Schneider and his program called Championship Chess. Classes consist of demonstration, workbook practice, and of course hands on playing in each class. Though the grade span is wide, children will be paired according to ability for in class practice games. Let the fun begin!
Materials fee: The reusable workbooks are copyrighted but you can make copies within your own family. Each chess class will receive 2 levels of workbooks that siblings share.
Advanced Chess Club
Instructor: Sherry Osborne
Email: sherry.osborne@gmail.com
Grades: all
Monthly Cost(s): $25
aterials fee: $45 (per family-see note)
Class time: 1:10
Pre-requisites: Must have gone through the Beginner’s class last year
Supplies: A divider section in their binder or a folder with pencils brought to class each week
So you have the basics and some openings but are wanting to work on your end game strategies? Learn to play the endgame to win! Prepare for the most common endgames of chess. Learn how to checkmate and avoid stalemate. Learn Endgame Strategies: “walk your Rooks,” “stay in the square,” “use the waiting move,” ”cut off the board,”and “win with the opposition.” In Chess Tactics 1, Coach Steve Schneider presents the most common tactics that every player needs to know, from finding and exploiting “free” pieces to checkmates with all of the pieces. The class will be periodically sent home with thought-provoking logic puzzles from the book Logic on the Chessboard. It is divided into 5 sections, each representing a focused problem-solving challenge. With one, two, three steps or more — the puzzles and problems apply, test and improve strategic and higher level thinking skills. You don’t have to be a chess player to tackle them. Some of these puzzles will improve chess play, but all of them improve students’ abilities to focus, visualize, think ahead, weigh options, analyze concretely and think abstractly.
