IEW Middle /High School – US 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:
Required text: IEW’s US History-Based Writing Lessons, First edition, February 2017. I will purchase this for you with your materials fee.
Prerequisite: Former students receive priority seating.
This class is a logical next class for students who took IEW Following Narnia: The Lion’s Song last year. However, since I am teaching this curriculum at two different class times, there will be room for new students. 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!
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.
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.
Course description: Students will develop their skill with the Structure and Style Writing Method while learning about interesting, important people and events in U.S. history from the explorers to the twentieth century. An optional literature component studies six novels that integrate with the historical topics used for writing assignments. We will not cover the novels in class.

Reading Skills - Reading Comprehension
Reading Comprehension
Instructor: Tiffany Norwood
Email: tnorwood11 [at] hotmail [dot] com
3rd-6th grade
Monthly Cost: $25
Material Cost: $25
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.(Students will be given texts on their level.)
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.

Name of Class: Mystery of History Volume 1
Instructor: Melissa Rhoton

Phone: 843-870-1421
Grades: 4th - 8th
Monthly Cost: $25
Materials Fee: $22
Class Time: 10am
Required Textbook: Creation to the Resurrection, Mystery of History, Volume 1 by Linda Lacour Hobar.
Course Description:
Volume I of The Mystery of History covers world history from Creation to the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Included in Volume I are the chronologically based stories from all around the world. Beginning with the Garden of Eden, stories will spread from Sumer and Babel to Troy, Phoenicia, and Assyria. The study of early civilizations will include King Wu of China and Asoka of India as well as King David, Julius Caesar, and Xerxes of Persia. Above all, a favorite feature of Volume I is the weaving of Bible history with world history. More examples of interesting figures that lived just decades apart include: Joshua and King Tut; Ruth and Helen of Troy; Daniel and Aesop; Ezekiel and Buddha; and Nehemiah and Socrates.
Students are required to read each of those lessons and be prepared to discuss them. The children enjoy this history class as we bring these events to life - sometimes tasting food from that area, acting out the battles, dressing up as our favorite person, bringing in Lego creations that illustrate our topics, etc. 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.

Grades: 3rd-6th (or recommended age 8-11)
Monthly Cost(s): $25
Materials fee: $18
Required Textbook: None
Pre-requisites: None
Supplies: Pencil each week
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.

Class time: 12:10 – 1:00 pm
Required text: Apologia Exploring Creation with Physical Science 2nd Edition
Supplies: 3-ring binder, #2 sharpened or mechanical pencils
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.

Beginning Chess Club
Instructor: Sherry Osborne
Email: sherry.osborne@gmail.com
Grades: 2nd grade & up
Monthly Cost(s): $25
Materials fee: $45 (per family-see note)
Class time: 12:10
Pre-requisites: none
Supplies: A divider section in their binder or a folder with pencils brought to class each week
The educational benefits of chess is indisputable! This problem solving game requires one to think ahead, improves memory, and increases math scores. In short, chess is a brain booster! The Beginning Chess Club will focus on two books: Chess Basics and Chess Openings. Rather than trying to figure out the various skills each player has, we will all begin with the basics and progress to more advanced concepts to prevent experienced players from getting bored. Students will learn the pieces, their values, the best strategies for each piece, and learn the most important squares to control. They begin with playing pre-chess games that grow in difficulty. They will then learn opening moves like the Queen’s Raid, Two Knight’s Defense, and the Stonewall. These aggressive, open games will put students of the offense and make their games more exciting. To learn these skills, we will use short video lessons taught by an educator, Coach Steve Schneider and his program called Championship Chess. Classes consist of demonstration, workbook practice, and of course hands on playing in each class. Though the grade span is wide, children will be paired according to ability for in class practice games. Let the fun begin!
Materials fee: The reusable workbooks are copyrighted but you can make copies within your own family. Each chess class will receive 2 levels of workbooks that siblings share.

Advanced Chess Club
Instructor: Sherry Osborne
Email: sherry.osborne@gmail.com
Grades: all
Monthly Cost(s): $25
Materials fee: $45 (per family-see note)
Class time: 1:10
Pre-requisites: Must have gone through the Beginner’s class last year
Supplies: A divider section in their binder or a folder with pencils brought to class each week
So you have the basics and some openings but are wanting to work on your end game strategies? Learn to play the endgame to win! Prepare for the most common endgames of chess. Learn how to checkmate and avoid stalemate. Learn Endgame Strategies: “walk your Rooks,” “stay in the square,” “use the waiting move,” ”cut off the board,”and “win with the opposition.” In Chess Tactics 1, Coach Steve Schneider presents the most common tactics that every player needs to know, from finding and exploiting “free” pieces to checkmates with all of the pieces. The class will be periodically sent home with thought-provoking logic puzzles from the book Logic on the Chessboard. It is divided into 5 sections, each representing a focused problem-solving challenge. With one, two, three steps or more — the puzzles and problems apply, test and improve strategic and higher level thinking skills. You don’t have to be a chess player to tackle them. Some of these puzzles will improve chess play, but all of them improve students’ abilities to focus, visualize, think ahead, weigh options, analyze concretely and think abstractly.
