We're diving into the lives and contributions of explorer of North America! The first class in this twelve-week course will include an introduction to explorers of North America. Classes 2-11 will include: • a fascinating visual presentation about life the lives and contributions of eleven explorers • discussion time where students can share what they know about each explorer • hands-on projects that include a lot of coloring, cutting, pasting, and basic writing During class twelve, students will have the opportunity to showcase their explorer presentations. The explorer presentations will require time beforehand to research a favorite explore and put together an entertaining 3-5 minute presentation. This will be a fun way to end the course! ★ A book purchase is required for this class, from which you will make copies for each class: BOOK TITLE: History Pockets: Explorers of North America, Grades 4-6+ See Evan-Moor copyright permission below: "You do not need permission to copy materials...if you wish to reproduce pages from Evan-Moor books that belong to you for use in a single classroom.

Puppet Theatre & Crafting Adventure (Part 1)This class was so neat! My daughter is so into making puppets, and to see someone offering a class like this that incorporates all kind of learning is just awesome! She got to be with friends, learn, and make puppets in a warm, educational environment!

Herbal Adventures: An Introduction To Culinary, Medicinal, and Cosmetic HerbsMy middle daughter is so interested in herbs and cooking, and I feel that it is hard to find classes on those types of topics for her age group. This was a deep class that went into all the benefits of herbs, not just for cooking, but how they help our healthy! My daughter loves talking about how beneficial Rosemary is! She will add herbs into our food and say, "I am going to add this, because it helps with this!"Also, she is very patient with wiggly easily distracted learners, and redirects them kindly so they don't miss anything!

"Bee" of Good CharacterThis class was AWESOME! My kids still talk about bees to this day and how important they are because of this class. It helped them to understand how important they are. They loved the art activity, and also learned so much from the character trait lesson that she did. I love that in so many of her classes, it isn't just about the subject matter, she ties in important aspects like character and kindness.

Drawing English Vocabulary: The Fun Way To Learn New WordsLOVED this class! This was such a neat idea and a fun way to learn a subject that can be somewhat dry in other contexts! Drawing the picture gave them a hands on way to experience the word, visualize it so it made more sense to them, and made vocabulary easily accessible for all kinds of learners!

Paper Collage Artwork ClubMy daughter loved the paper collage class! She is always cutting and pasting paper at home to create new things, and this class provided a warm environment that gently guided her to do something new. Ms. Mason is very kind, patient, and warm in all of her classes and my girls love her!

Little Women Classic Literature Book ClubI thought my 10yo girls might be a little young for Little Women, but I'm so glad I was wrong. Not only did they love the book (the unabridged version!), but they looked forward to their group discussions with Ms. Carri every week. They loved bringing the book to life through the simple projects in class and are not so patiently waiting to watch the movie now so we can compare how accurate it kept to the book.
