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.

Foundational Language Arts B
Teacher: Sherry Osborne
Email: sherry.osborne@gmail.com
Monthly Cost(s): $30
Materials fee: $33 for consumables (new parents also need to purchase the SWR Core Teacher’s Kit available from www.swrtraining.com or rainbowresource.com)
Course Description
PLACEMENT- BEFORE REGISTERING children MUST be evaluated. Email teacher to set up a 30 minute slot. Placement is based on skill level rather than grade level.
PREREQUISITES: New parents 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 daily homework completion! Assignments are given for the other 4 school at home days each week, and should take 45-60 minutes each day. All Levels need to learn the 70 phonogram sounds and be able to write in cursive *before* SHEEP begins (using the cards that come in the SWR Core Teacher’s Kit, which you will need to purchase over the summer. Kit costs $100.) Learning cursive before SHEEP starts is essential due to limited class time. I recommend using the Cursive First curriculum which is cheap and step by step.
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!

Magic Tree House Literature
Instructor: Debbie Siegal
Email: debbies@sheep.education
Phone: 843-696-5008
Grades: 1st-5th
Monthly Cost: $25
Materials fee: $28
Pre-requisites: none
Supplies and Books required: You may purchase Magic Tree House books (Mr. K's is a great option!), check them out from the library, or listen on Audiobook.
Books we will cover: Dinosaurs Before Dark (#1), Knights at Dawn (#2), Mummies in the Morning (#3), Midnight on the Moon (#8), Dolphins at Daybreak (#9), Polar Bears Past Bedtime (#12), Vacation Under the Volcano (#13), Viking Ships at Sunrise (#15), Hour of the Olympics (#16), Earthquake in the Early Morning (#24), Thanksgiving on a Thursday (#27), Warriors in Winter (#31), To the Future, Ben Franklin (#32), Christmas in Camelot (Merlin Mission #1), Night of the New Magicians (Merlin Mission #7)
Your child will also need a 3-ring binder dedicated solely to their Magic Tree House work. They will need to bring it to class each week so they can add new work.
Course Description
There will be a good bit of writing in class, so students need to be able to copy words and sentences from the board. Basic reading skills are required.
Must have access to Magic Tree house books outside of class either by buying them or borrowing from the library. It will be your responsibility to have each book when it is covered.
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.

Grades: 3rd-6th grade
Monthly Cost: $25
Material Cost: $28
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, foreshadowing, 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: Stone Fox by John Gardiner
Black Beauty by Anna Sewell
The Report Card by Andrew Clement
Little Pilgram’s Progress by Helen A Taylor
The Borrowers by Mary Norton

The Mystery of History, Volume III presents the years 1455-1707 through Christ-centered lens, exploring the backdrop to and significance of major cultural and historical people and events, alongside these events in the history of Christianity. Some include Ivan the Great, Michelangelo, Martin Luther, John Calvin, Ivan the Terrible, William Tyndale, Mary Tudor (Bloody Mary), William Shakespeare, Rembrandt, Sir Isaac Newton, The Salem Witch Trials and more!
Students are required to read an average of three 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 country/culture, acting out the events, playing games, crafts 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, if desired. 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 2 before Volume 3.)

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.

Parents are responsible for costumes. Children will perform in the SHEEP Christmas and End of Year Programs as well as in the Spring Musical. This year we will be preforming The First Leon for Christmas and 101 Dalmatians for our spring musical.

Color the Classics
Join us as we spend time with some of the most famous composers of all time! We will learn their stories, hear (and sometimes make) their instruments, play games to learn about their lives, and color our way through their music. This class is very hands on (LOTS of games and activities) but will also incorporate practice in listening. We will answer questions like: What does it mean to observe with our ears? How can we practice being still enough to hear and notice the details of the music? How can we see God in what we hear and in what these composers wrote? I can't wait to spend time learning and listening with you!

Fun With Music
Instructor: Lindsay Hendrix

Grades: 2nd - 5th Grades
Monthly Cost: $25
Materials Fee: $33
Required Textbook: Master Theory Book 1: Beginning Theory Workbook, by Charles S. Peter's & Paul Yoder. I will hand these out on the first day of class.
Prerequisites: An eagerness to learn to read and make music. Students must also be able to read and follow instructions.
Supplies: 2 pencils, a set of erasable colored pencils and a folder with pockets and clasps.
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: note names & locations on the staff, note & rest values, dynamics, and so much more. Students will learn to find the beat of a given piece of music by using their body to feel and keep the beat. We will also learn to play simple childhood songs and Christian hymns using handbells, resonator bells, and BoomWhackers. (Please 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 of a simple worksheet or two, practicing beats, reading notes, etc. Music cannot be learned in a one day a week setting, but can be learned and enjoyed with even a minimum of 10 minutes of practice every day or two. This can be done anywhere 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 of appreciating the technical part of music and turning it into an 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.

ASL is a non-verbal form of communication used by the Deaf population and hearing population, as well. This course will provide students with a basic knowledge and understanding of ASL. Learning ASL involves hand movements, facial expressions, and body positioning. Classes will cover fingerspelling, vocabulary, facial expressions, grammar, dialogues, songs, worksheets, storytelling (with books), activities and play games. ASL is fun, educational, and useful. Some work outside of class time will be expected. There will be no voice in the classroom.

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

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.
