Each week we’ll be studying one book by engaging in activities, reading a Bible story, acting out Bible scenes, and practicing God's Word. Our goal is to maximize retention of the "Big Ideas" within scripture by making it come alive. Students will take home their copy of the Bible book page to be colored and then return it to the teacher the following week in class. At the end of the year, your child will have their own collection of New Testament pictures in a notebook and will know the keyword (the "Big Idea") for each book of the New Testament. This is a fun and active class!

This class is for early beginning readers.
Supplies: Required textbook Primary Arts of Language: Reading Student Book
I purchase this book for each student with your materials fees ($39).
Class description: 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.

IEW Elementary (“IEW 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 ): $35 per month
Materials fee : $35
Prerequisite: This class is for students at least 10 years old , regardless of what grade they are in.
Supplies and Books required : 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.
Curriculum used is IEW’s All Things Fun and Fascinating , second edition, January 2012. I will purchase this for you with your materials fee.
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 .

Books are a magical portal to other places. When you read, you are transported to other places and meet many new and exotic friends. Let's join Jack and Annie as they travel through time and space to many enchanting places with the help of the Magic Tree house!
We will use the Magic Tree house series as a jumping off point to learn about different cultures, countries, time periods and animals. There will be a little history, science, social studies, geography and art incorporated in the studies. Little to no outside work, except reading will be expected. A 3-ring binder will be needed to compile students' work and will be sent home at the end of the year.

Reading Comprehension
Instructor: Tiffany Norwood

Phone:715-768-5926
Grades: 3rd-6th grade
Monthly Cost: $25
Material Cost: $20
Materials: 1/2 or 1 inch binder
Course Description: 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.
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.
I rotate the books we use: This year I plan to use Balto(It is ok if your child has read this. I will use this as an easy book to teach the skills in depth), Frindle, In Grandma’s Attic, Freedom Crossing, and Ben & Me.
*I may switch out a book based on the class level and/or what the students have read. You will receive the final list in August.

Included in this volume are the chronologically based stories from all around the world including St. Patrick delivering the gospel to Ireland, the Western Roman Empire falling in Europe, Mohammed introducing Islam to the world about a decade after King Arthur rides with his knights, the Vikings ravaging parts of Europe while the Maori settle New Zealand and Joan of Arc tragically burning at the stake while the Incas were building their golden empire in South America.
Students are required to read each of the assigned lessons per week, and be prepared to discuss them. The children will enjoy hands on history as we bring these events to life - sometimes tasting food from that area, acting out the battles, bringing in Lego creations that illustrate our topics, playing games, and more! 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. (It is not necessary to complete Volume 1 before Volume 2.)

What should you do if you encounter a bear? How can you tell if a snake is poisonous? Come find out answers to these questions and many, many more with Apologia’s Exploring Creation with Zoology 3!
This third book in the zoology series takes students on a safari through jungles, deserts, forests, farms, and even their own backyard to explore, examine and enjoy the enchanting creatures God designed to inhabit the terrain. Together, we will discover the amazing animals from primates to parasites, kangaroos to caimans, and turtles to terrifying T-Rexes— this safari doesn’t end there! Students will also keep a record of where each animal is found on a map and learn to identify animal tracks. As with all the Apologia elementary books, students will continue the practice of narration, keeping a notebook of what they have learned, and enjoy many hands on projects and experiments throughout the course. On average, we will spend 2 weeks on each lesson. This gives plenty of time to discuss the material, ask and answer questions and do fun hands on activities!

Course 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.

Instructor: Mrs. Lindsay M. Hendrix
E-Mail: shlmhomeschool@gmail.com
Phone #: (843) 425-2110
Grades: 2nd - 5th Grades
Monthly Cost(s): $25
Materials Fee: $30
Required Textbook: Master Theory Book 1: Beginning Theory Workbook, by Charles S. Peter's & Paul Yoder
Prerequisites: Students need to have an eagerness to learn to read and make music. Students must also be able to read and have the ability to follow instructions.
Supplies: 2 mechanical pencils and a set of erasable colored pencils which includes the 7 colors of the rainbow and pink.
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, 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 children's handbells and the BoomWhacker instrument. (Please feel free to investigate these awesome musical instruments. There are many great videos on YouTube.)
Students will also have the opportunity to make some fun, homemade musical crafts. Idealy, these will be completed in class and taken home the same day.
There will be homework in this course of a simple worksheet or two, practicing beats of music, 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 this school year.

Course Description: 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

You can read the author’s motivation behind the creation of these materials here: https://rw360.org/a-word-from-the-author/
There is no textbook required for this class. Your materials fee covers the cost for reproducing the student activity booklets students will receive with each new lesson. These booklets include a cartoon/comic version of the story from each lesson, diagrams that visually reinforce key points, and activities and personal applications that students can work on at home during the week to further reinforce the lesson.
