IEW Middle/High School (“IEW 6th - 9th”) 9 AM
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.

Reading Comprehension
Instructor: Tiffany Norwood
Email: tnorwood11@ hotmail.com
phone:715-768-5926
Grades: 3rd-6th grade
Monthly Cost: $25
Material Cost: $20
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, 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 Balto(It is ok if your child has read this. I will use this as an easy book to teach the skills in depth), Frindle, In Grandma’s Attic, Freedom Crossing, and Ben & Me.
*I may switch out a book based on the class level and/or what the students have read. You will receive the final list in August.

Supplies and Books required: The Mystery of History Volume II: The Early Church and the Middle Ages by Linda Lacour Hobar
Course Description: from Pentecost to the printing press
Volume 2 of The Mystery of History covers world history from the early church to the Middle Ages. Included in this volume are the chronologically based stories from all around the world including St. Patrick delivering the gospel to Ireland, the Western Roman Empire falling in Europe, Mohammed introducing Islam to the world about a decade after King Arthur rides with his knights, the Vikings ravaging parts of Europe while the Maori settle New Zealand and Joan of Arc tragically burning at the stake while the Incas were building their golden empire in South America.
Students are required to read each of the assigned 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 area, acting out the battles, bringing in Lego creations that illustrate our topics, playing games, 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. 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 1 before Volume 2.)

Required Textbook: None
Pre-requisites: None
Supplies: Pencil each week
Course 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.

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.

Rainbow Science Year 2
Instructor: Joell Morris
Email: cjmorris89@msn.com
Grades 6 - 9
Monthly fee: $25
Materials fee: $42
Pre-requisites: None
Supplies and Books required: Textbook-- The Rainbow by Durrell Dobbins, PhD. FIRST EDITION. (Teacher will purchase lab notebook and supplies in bulk with materials fees.)
Course Description: Who is ready 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 two year, comprehensive science curriculum. Year One covers physics and chemistry and Year Two covers biology and a large variety of applied science. 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. The concepts covered will help students not only understand science, but also help prepare them for higher level high school sciences such as Apologia Biology.
Class at SHEEP is a lab science class. Work at home will require students to read both the text and lab in preparation for each lab class (completed easily 2 days out of the week) and attempt the exercises at the end of the reading sections in the text. Students are required to record information in their lab notebooks. This is a great program. It is written clearly and concisely and with humor, in such a way that your kids will get excited about science, which is priceless! Your kids will love science and learn so much! If you have not taken Year 1, no problem! You can jump in with the rest of us! Come on in, I promise we will have lots of fun! More information about Rainbow Science is available at the publisher’s website: www.beginningspublishing.com.
Please contact me with any questions or if your student has any special needs which I can assist with as a teacher.
MATERIALS NEEDED FOR CLASS: Textbook, purchased separately by you. Lab Materials and Lab Notebook, which will be purchased by teacher in bulk with your materials fee.
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 taken Rainbow Science, Year 1, 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!).

Does your child like to sing and perform? We will perform a junior Broadway musical in the spring of 2021. Auditions are required and will occur the first day of class.

We strive to make the best possible show, but we need parents and students to be connected and engaged! We use our FACEBOOK GROUP to communicate. This is REQUIRED FOR PARTICIPATION. We offer two class periods, AM and PM. These classes will form two separate casts who will perform the same musical on the same show dates having different show times. The morning class will meet from 8:30-9:50 am and the afternoon class will meet from 1:10-2:30 pm.
