Norwood: Reading Comprehension Summerville
Grades: 3rd-6th grade
Instructor: Tiffany Norwood
Email: tnorwood11@hotmail.com
Monthly Cost: $25
Material Cost: $30
Materials: 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: Sarah Plain and Tall
The Keeping Room, The Cricket in Times Square, Ben and Me, and Mr. Popper's Penguins
*I may switch out a book based on the average class level. You will receive the finalized list in August.

Required for parent to purchase: The Mystery of History Volume I: Creation to the Resurrection by Linda Lacour Hobar (Student Text)
Course Description: Volume I of The Mystery of History covers world history from Creation to Christ’s Resurrection. The Mystery of History Volume I, presents the years 4004 B.C. - A.D. 33 through a Christ-centered lens, exploring the backdrop to and significance of major Biblical, cultural and historical people and events. Some include the Ice Age, Dinosaurs, The Tower of Babel, Abraham, the Israelites in Slavery, Moses, the Ark of the Covenant, King Tut, the Legend of the Trojan Horse, King Saul, David, Homer, The Olympic Games, Hosea, Native Americans, Ezekiel, Buddha, Confucius, Esther, Cleopatra, the Roman Empire, Jesus and so much more! Students are encouraged to read three to four lessons per week, and be prepared to discuss them in class. Lessons in Volume I are very short, averaging one page per lesson. The children will enjoy hands on history in class 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 of this class 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.

Exploring science is fun! This hands-on science course uses Science in the Beginning by Dr. Jay L. Wile to introduce a wide variety of scientific topics to elementary students of all ages. Because each lesson is built around an activity or experiment, it is engaging for all K-6 students. Introducing scientific concepts in the context of history, the days of creation are used as a structure through which a wide variety of scientific topics are introduced, including; light, energy conservation, air & water, botany, the solar system, zoology, and some aspects of human anatomy and physiology. The text for this class does not need to be purchased. The class is intended to be an exciting no-pressure learning experience; therefore, it has no homework and no required curriculum. If you would like to supplement at home, there are notebooks for purchase online that correspond to the textbook I am using. However, we will not cover the entire text this year at SHEEP.
Oldest Student Notebook for Science in the Beginning (ideal for students in Grades 4-6)
ISBN-13: 9781733316811
The notebooking pages feature writing-based questions that ask students to explain their reasoning or the concepts they're studying, some drawing exercises, graphs & charts, and research-based questions.

Instead of the traditional way of learning where each subject area is taught in isolation, STEM allows these subjects to be integrated together in a practical hands-on environment. Each week students will work on a hands-on project usually in a group of 3-4 people. Some lessons will be individually completed and taken home, but the students will still work in a group if they choose so. Example lessons include: density tower, solar ovens, air-propelled rockets, circuit cards, and more! There will be no work assigned outside of class.

Hendrix: Fun With Music Summerville
Grade: 1st - 5th Grades
Instructor: Mrs. Lindsay Hendrix
Email: shlmhomeschool@gmail.com
Monthly Cost: $25.00
Materials Fee: $35.00
Required for Parent to Purchase: 1 folder with pockets and clasps, 2 mechanical pencils, a dry erase marker, scissors, glue, and a set of erasable colored pencils which includes the 7 colors of the rainbow.
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. Children need to have an eagerness to learn to read and make music. Students also need the ability to read and follow instructions. We will learn to read music, including, but not limited to: note names & their locations on the staff, note & rest values, 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. Used in class will be BoomWhackers, handbells, handchimes and resonator bells.
Students will have the opportunity to make some fun, homemade musical crafts. Ideally, these will be completed in class and taken home the same day.
There will be homework each week of worksheets, practicing beats, reading music, 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 make music as a group. 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. The majority of your materials fees cover the cost of 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.

Stauffer: Junior Musical Theatre AM and PM Thursday Summerville
Grade: 3-8
Instructor: Jensen Stauffer/Jenny Stauffer
Email: stauff1@yahoo.com
Monthly Cost: $35
Materials Fee: $25
Required for parent to purchase: There will be a minimal fee to cover the cost of each actor’s costume. At show time, tickets will be $4. T-shirts will be an optional purchase.
Course Description: Do you enjoy acting, singing, and performing? The Junior Musical Theatre class is a performance based course in which students will spend the year preparing to produce The Sound of Music Youth Edition, a Broadway Junior Musical, while focusing on honing their performance skills and growing as actors. We will rehearse on Thursdays at the SHEEP Church of Christ 8:30-9:50 for the AM class or 1:10-2:30 for the PM class. Auditions will be required and will take place either before classes begin or on the first day of class. Each student must present a one minute monologue as well as a song from a musical.
Rehearsal time is valuable. Because it is our aim to produce a show of the highest caliber, the class will require commitment and participation from each student and parent. In the spring, rehearsals will be moved to the performance venue. Please plan to be at every rehearsal as every actor plays an important part in creating the whole show. Parents will be asked to join the official Facebook group for the class.
There will be extra Saturday rehearsals in the spring that will be mandatory. Performances will be in April 2023.
You MUST get special permission to register for musical theatre classes! Please email Jenny Stauffer at stauff1@yahoo.com for interest and questions. Registration information will be sent privately to those who get a slot. Don’t wait to contact us…these classes fill up quickly!
Beginning in the 2022-2023 school year, we acknowledge there are now similar local programs available; we therefore need to emphasize the commitment level required for SHEEP’s year-long performance-based theatre group. Students and parents - whether junior, intermediate or high school - need to recognize and understand the requirement to refrain from committing to another non-SHEEP full-year performance-based theatre group. This keeps us all from scheduling conflicts in the spring, allows more students to participate in local homeschool theatre groups, and reflects our overall desire to have excellent theatre productions. We encourage each family to pray about participation and follow God’s leading in making this decision. Thank you for understanding. We are happy to answer any questions (stauff1@yahoo.com).
