Combs: Middle School Writing
Summerville, Thursday 10am
Grades: 6-9 (ages 11-13)
Instructor: Mrs. Kristi Combs
Email: kcombs@sheep.education
Monthly Cost(s): $38
Materials Fee: $45
Supplies and Books required:
Curriculum: IEW’s Medieval History 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 also 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 time period known as the Middle Ages.

Norwood: Reading Comprehension
Summerville, Thursdays 12:10pm
Grade/Ages: 3-6th grade
Instructor: Tiffany Norwood
Email: tiffany@sheep.education
Monthly Cost: $27
One Time Material Cost: $35
Supply Requirements: 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 each year. Parents will be notified by June of the book list. I always take into consideration the average grade level of the class.

Supply Requirements: The Mystery of History Volume II: The Early Church and the Middle Ages by Linda Lacour Hobar (Student Text)
Course Description:
Volume 2 of The Mystery of History covers world history from the years of the early church through the Middle Ages which were years of growth and change for both the world and the church. The Mystery of History, Volume II presents the years 33 A.D. - 1456 through Christ-centered lens, exploring the backdrop to and significance of major cultural and historical people and events, alongside these events in the history of Christianity. Some include Pentecost, Paul, Pompeii, St. Valentine, St. Patrick, King Arthur and the Knights at the Round Table, the Vikings, Eric the Red, Leif Ericsson, Robin Hood, St. Francis of Assisi, Marco Polo, Black Death, The Canterbury Tales, Joan of Arc, the Printing Press and more!
Students are required to read three lessons per week, and be prepared to discuss them in class. The children will enjoy hands on history 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 to fit all ages and allows the parents to decide how lightly or deeply to go into each lesson. All pretests, tests and exercises (worksheets) are up to the parent to give and grade, if desired. The goal of this class is to help children find a love of history, not by listing the facts and memorizing the dates, but understanding what happened and why it is important. It is not necessary to complete Volume I before Volume II.

We will talk about the Great Flood, the Pyramids of Egypt, the rise and fall of Babylon and the Persian and Roman Empires. We will look at how the Gospel spread throughout the world, including Pentecost. We will learn about the Middle Ages, Medieval Europe, the Crusades and the Conquerors, all the way to the creation of some of the great Cathedrals. The class will learn their lessons 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.

Email: brooke@sheep.education
Monthly Cost: $27
Materials Fee: $39
Supply Requirements: 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.
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.

Who is ready to learn about Physics and Chemistry, including Newton’s Laws (What’s all this gravity stuff about, anyway??), energy, force, light, chemical reactions, the Periodic Table, and much more? Experiments? Yes! Fun? Yes! Fire? Maybe! We will do all this, and more, in Rainbow Science, Year 1.
What is Rainbow Science? Rainbow Science is a 2 year, comprehensive science curriculum. Year 1 focuses on physics and chemistry, and Year 2 focuses on biology and a 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. This curriculum will help students not only understand science, but also help prepare them for higher level high school sciences.
Our class time at SHEEP will focus on lab work. Work at home between class meetings will require students to do reading in the textbook 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, and sometimes humorous manner. More information about Rainbow Science is available at the publisher’s website: https://www.beginningspublishing.com/rainbow-junior-high-science-curriculum/.
Textbook: When you purchase the textbook, The Rainbow, by Durrell Dobbins, PhD, you are purchasing a text that will be used both years. If you have already taken one year of Rainbow Science, you do not need to purchase another textbook. I often have extra used copies if you have need.
Materials fees: Materials fees cover all the 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 their own lab notebook.

Monthly Cost: $27
Materials Fee: $25
Supply Requirements: Parents will be responsible for costumes - a small costume fee for items made as well as the cost of your actual costume that needs to be purchased.
Course Description: Elementary Musical Theatre will bring theatre to life for our students through the Broadway Kids musical SEUSSICAL KIDS! Beginning with theatre games and getting to know each other, we will begin working on the show starting in October. We will rehearse October, November, January, February and March. We will try to schedule two shows late March or early April. The rest of the school year will be full of fun theatre games and introducing audition techniques. We will rehearse on Thursdays at 10:00-10:50 for the AM class or 11:00-11:50 for the PM class.
We’re thrilled to be working with your kids as we honor the Lord through great theatre! We are also looking forward to meeting everyone. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask.
You MUST get special permission to register for musical theatre classes! Please email Jenny Stauffer at sheepmusicaltheatre@gmail.com for interest and questions. Registration information will be sent privately to those who get a slot. Don’t wait…these classes fill up quickly!
There are now similar local programs available, and we need to emphasize the commitment level required for SHEEP’s year-long performance-based theatre group. Students and parents - whether elementary, 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 (sheepmusicaltheatre@gmail.com).

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.
