Combs: Middle School Writing Summerville
Instructor: Mrs. Kristi Combs
Email: kristicombs111@gmail.com
Grades: 6-9 (ages 11-13)
Monthly Cost(s): $35
Materials Fee: $45
Supplies and Books required: 1” 3-ring binder to keep writing work in. Something to write with
in class. Two pocket folders for turning in assignments.
Curriculum: IEW’s Bible Based Writing Lessons, Student Book, fifth edition, 2019. I will purchase this for you with your materials fee. Your student will receive their book at parent orientation or on the first day of class.
Course Description: If you have a middle school student who has never taken IEW before, this can also be a great
place for them to start formal writing instruction if parents are committed to helping them at home. However, this class is particularly well suited to students who have taken a previous IEW class and are looking to hone their writing skills for high school and college. Consistent parental involvement and communication with me are extremely important for students to make progress in their writing skills in this class.
Students will develop their skill with the Structure and Style Writing Method while increasing their understanding of the scriptures. Please note that this class has distinctly Christian content.

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.

Instructor: Melissa Rhoton
Email: melissa@sheep.education
Monthly Cost: $25
Material Fee: $28
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.

Course Description: From Adam to Us Volume 2:Castles to Computers In this class, we will learn aspects from the Early Renaissance, the 1400s through the 1700s, the Age of Revolution, the Victorian Era, the 1900s, the World Wars, up unto the Twentieth Century, and current events, including computers and other current technology. The class will learn communications through daily lessons written in a narrative style and richly illustrated with color photographs and maps.
Course Objectives: Each unit includes five lessons that look at biographies, landmarks, daily life, "God's Wonders" (natural resources), and "Our World" stories (major events). Students will experience the tragic and triumphant events that shaped our world. They will get to know God’s created wonders that have a key place in the sweep of history. They will get an up-close look at landmarks made by creative people in many times and places. Students will learn how they can get a glimpse of the daily life of ordinary people through the centuries. They will meet influential people who made an impact in their own time and beyond. From Adam to us gives students the keys to engage with history, learn from history, and love history while growing to understand their place in God’s great story.
Assignments/Quizzes: There are opportunities for graded components of the course should parents decide to monitor and notate completed work, but I will not be grading. Students will be assigned weekly reading from the lessons we are discussing along with questions to answer from the lesson workbook each week. We will go over the answers each week for the questions in the student workbook and then take the unit tests. We will also go over the answers to the test together, I will allow the student to self-grade unless you let me know otherwise for your student. The only grade I will provide is a participation grade for the year that you can compile with the tests from each week if you would like to assess a grade for your student for this class.

Brannon: Elementary Lab Science 4-6 Summerville
Grade: 4th- 6th grade
Instructor: Brooke Brannon
Email: jbrookebrannon@gmail.com
Monthly Cost: $25
Material Fee: $28
Required for parent to purchase: 2 pocket folder for handouts, one-subject notebook, pencil
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.
Brannon: STEM 4th-6th Grade Summerville
Class: STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics)
Instructor: Brooke Brannon

Grades: 4th-6th
Monthly Cost: $25
Materials Fee: $39
Required Text: None
Supplies: All supplies will be covered with the materials fee. Throughout the year, I will ask for recyclable donations such as soda bottles, plastic caps from water bottles, old CD/DVD’s, etc.
Pre-requisites: None
Course Description: STEM is a fun hands-on experiment class that incorporates Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. 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.
This class will be learning the same topic as the 1st-3rd grade class, but will go much more in-depth. IE: If Density is being taught, these 3rd- 6th grade students will also be taught the formula for density and how it is calculated.

Morris: Rainbow Science Year 2 Summerville
Instructor: Joell Morris
Email: joell@sheep.education
Grades: 6-9
Monthly fee: $25
Materials fee: $59
Prerequisites: none
Required for parents to purchase: The Rainbow by Durrell Dobbins, PhD
Who wants to learn about Biology, including cells, microbes, animals, plant life and more? Who wants to do some dissections? Who wants to learn about earthquakes, the atmosphere, geology, weather and our solar system? Experiments? Yes! Fun? Yes! We will do all this, and more, in Rainbow Science, Year 2.
What is Rainbow Science? Rainbow Science is a 2 year, comprehensive science curriculum. Year 1 covers physics and chemistry and Year 2 covers biology as well as a large variety of applied science. In its entirety, Rainbow Science covers foundations of General Science, Earth Science, Life Science and Physical Science. The concise and easy to understand text is packed with lovely multi-color photographs and is written by an experienced teacher and homeschooling father. Comprehension of the concepts covered will help students not only understand science, but also help to prepare them for higher level high school sciences such as Apologia Biology.
Our class time at SHEEP will focus on lab work. Work at home between class meetings will require students to do reading in the text and the exercises at the end of the reading sections in the text. Quizzes are also available at the publisher’s website for parents to administer at home if they choose. This is a great program, with labs that are interesting and fun, and a text that is written in a clear, concise manner, with some humor thrown in, so that your kids will get excited about science! If you have not taken Year 1, no problem! You can jump in with the rest of us! More information about Rainbow Science is available at the publisher’s website: https://www.beginningspublishing.com/rainbow-junior-high-science-curriculum/.
Please contact me with any questions or if your student has any special needs which I can assist with as a teacher.
TEXTBOOK:
When you buy the text book, The Rainbow by Durrell Dobbins, PhD, you are purchasing a text that will be used both years. So if you have already taken one year of Rainbow Science, you do not need to purchase another textbook.
MATERIALS FEES: Materials fees cover all supplies needed for every lab for the entire year as well as a lab notebook for each student. Students usually work in groups of 2 or 3, so those materials will be shared, but each student will have his or her own lab notebook. Additionally, I also plan to do a frog dissection in the spring for those students who wish to participate, which will cost approximately $12. Monies for that will be collected separately, prior to ordering dissection materials (AKA The Frog!).

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).

Wallace: Middle School Biblical Worldview Summerville
Grade: 5-8
Instructor: Mrs. Marci Wallace
Email: Marci.wallace@live.com
Monthly Cost: $25
Materials Fee: $45
Required for parent to purchase: pen or pencil, folder, and notebook or paper
Course Description:
Christians often focus on equipping students to love Jesus and live like Him – both are essential components of the Christian life! Yet they frequently neglect to prepare students to think like Jesus. Let me and the Foundation Worldview curriculum fill in the gap. In this class we will learn the skills children need to biblically navigate challenging cultural issues. We will get to the root of the issues, showing kids how a biblical worldview lines up with reality in a way that no other worldview does. We will use Foundations Careful Thinking Curriculum to give the students the skills they need to unmask faulty ideas and embrace the truth. We will be setting the children up to think critically in all areas of life. We will also learn some of the 50 fallacies using The Amazing Dr. Ransom's Bestiary of Adorable Fallacies. We will compare and contrast the key tenets of Atheism, Islam, Pantheism to Christianity using some of Summit Ministries' Walking in the Truth Competing Worldview curriculum. This class will have minimal homework. There is no prerequisite and students who took my worldview class before will not be repeating the same work that they have already done.
