Modern World History-Based Writing Lessons
Instructor: Kim Murphy, Certified IEW Instructor, IEW Online Instructor
Email: literallykim5@gmail.com
Phone: 843-377-5069
Grades 6 - 9
Monthly Cost(s): $35 per month
Materials fee $35
Class Time: 9am
Prerequisite: Former students receive priority seating.
This class is a logical next class for students who took IEW US History-Based Writing Lessons last year. If you have a middle school student who has never taken IEW before, this can also be a great place for students to start formal writing instruction if their parents are committed to helping them at home. I will help you learn how to do this, parents! My fifty minutes of weekly instruction will get your students started, but your input is vital. Writing, like any skill, requires practice and consistent instruction. Slow and steady wins the race!
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.
Curriculum used will be IEW’s Modern World History-Based Writing Lessons, Second edition, March 2020. I will purchase this for you with your materials fee.
Course description: Students will develop their skill with the Structure and Style Writing Method while learning about interesting, important people and events in world history. 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. 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.

Chemistry Lecture
Instructor: Mrs. Leslie McGowan
Email: lesliemcgowan88@gmail.com
Phone: 8436705851
Grades: 10-12
Monthly cost: $35
Materials fee: $10
Pre-requisites: C avg in Algebra I
Supplies and book: Discovering Design With Chemistry by Dr. Jay Wile, 3 ring binder with dividers and pockets, scientific calculator, pencils and pens (blue or black ink only).
Course description: This is a lecture course covering topics in classification of matter, atomic structure, chemical bonding, molecular geometry, physical/chemical change, stoichiometry, solutions, ideal gases, acid/base chemistry, thermodynamics, chemical equilibrium, oxidation/reduction reactions and kinetics. Most concepts require knowing how to apply and use algebraic manipulation. We will cover the highlights of each chapter, go over the comprehension check and review problems and any other questions students encounter. Students are required to read the chapter outside of class and complete the assigned work. Tests will be created and graded by the instructor and administered by a parent. This class counts for part of your overall chemistry grade. The lab component will need to be factored in for a complete grade.

Grades: 8th – 9th
Monthly Cost: $25
Materials fee: $25
Required text: Apologia Exploring Creation with Physical Science 2nd Edition
Supplies: 3-ring binder, #2 sharpened or mechanical pencils
Course Description: This laboratory class offers students the opportunity to perform the experiments and discuss the material contained in Apologia Exploring Creation with Physical Science, second edition. Students will have the opportunity to learn to properly collect data during a laboratory experiment and write up scientific experiments. Students will also be required to complete two projects.
The lab grade counts for 30% of the course grade. This grade is not to be used as their overall Physical Science course grade, since it will only reflect work done on the labs, not on reading and tests. Students will be graded on weekly lab reports, maintaining a neat lab notebook, two major projects, and class participation. Detailed instructions for all assignments will be given in class. Absences are excused only with an email from parent within 24 hours of a missed class. Late assignments will drop 1 letter grade.
Students are to read the modules in the textbook at home on the same schedule as the lab syllabus. Parents are responsible for grading all text work (tests, study guides, on-you-own questions) and textbook progress will be checked at the end of each semester

Intro to Graphic Design
Instructor: Ivy Deitch
Email: ivy.deitch@gmail.com
Phone: 843-817-9218
Grades: 9-12
Monthly Cost: $30
Materials fee: $20
Pre-requisites: None
Supplies and Books required: needed daily are a sketchbook (I recommend Strathmore Series 400 9x12"), and a pencil
The textbook is: Type and Image by Philip B. Meggs (available on amazon and also used from various sites like AbeBooks.com)
This course is geared toward students interested in pursuing Graphic Design at the college or university level.
Course Goals:
1) Demonstrate an understanding of what graphic design is.
2) Learn the design process and be able to successfully create a 2D design that displays conceptual thinking and understanding of design space.
3. Learn the basics of typography and be able to understand the importance of it and its history.
Unit 1 - Introduction to Graphic Design
This will cover what a graphic designer actually is and how one can make a living being a graphic designer. Students will learn about line, thumbnail sketching, and comprehensive designing.
Unit 2 - 2D Design Basics
Students learn the fundamentals of two-dimensional design, the foundation of art, graphic design, and visual communication.
Unit 3 - Design Process -
Students will learn and practice the design process through a simple five-step plan. Designers practice the design process in order to find solutions to the visual problems they take on. Students will be able to identify each step in the design process, understand the importance of each step, and implement them.
Introduction
Define the Problem
Learn
Generate Ideas
Design Development

Unit 4 - Typography
Students will be introduced to the power of words through typography. After a brief but important history of the alphabet, students learn to use typography as a communication tool—not only to make artful design, but to organize and communicate the meaning of an idea. Students will understand how type can be used to make text more readable and understandable and how it can organize content for ease of use and comprehension.

You should not register for Musical Theatre unless your slot has been confirmed. Students will be given available slots or placed on a wait list based on the order in which emails are received (pending confirmation of your official SHEEP registration).
If your official registration with SHEEP is not confirmed by April 23, your child’s place held on the email basis will be given to the next child on the list. This is why it is ESSENTIAL that you submit your SHEEP registration and email us as soon as possible. Your student’s status will be confirmed via email by late April (hopefully sooner!)
Course Description: Do you enjoy singing and performing? The HS Musical Theater class is a performance class that will put on a Broadway musical in the Spring (Show TBD).

Students must use accompaniment for their audition song. Auditions will be held before the first day of rehearsal.
Rehearsal time is valuable. We strive to make this the best show possible – this class requires COMMITMENT and PARTICIPATION from every student and parent. Each actor plays an important role and should plan to be at every rehearsal to make the show a success! All students and parents need to be a part of a Facebook group and will be asked to sign a commitment form.
PLEASE NOTE: There will be extra Saturday rehearsals closer to the performance that will be MANDATORY. There will be a small ticket fee for the show. Parents are responsible for costumes and any fees associated with costumes
