12:30 pm ASL LEVEL 2
This class is designed for the intermediate signer...2 or more classes with Jayna...this one’s for you! Do you have a little bit of sign language knowledge, but are not a fluent signer? This is where you need to be!
We’ll dig deeper into different types of sign language, more rules of signing & sign language classifiers, what a deaf person may or may not hear at their level of hearing, learn about some famous deaf people, and hear some true stories about the deaf. We will also learn and use 600+ words for this year as well as some songs, poems, & how to tell stories in ASL!

MUSICAL ENRICHMENT $95
9:00 am While having fun and making musical memories, we will travel far beyond the “do-re-mi”! Our students will learn much more than pitch, note values, and identification! They will have hands-on experience with pitched and non-pitched percussion instruments. In ‘Magic School Bus’ hands-on fashion, children will participate in a field trip “inside” the open piano, to view its inner mechanisms and seeing how these work together to produce sound. The children will be systematically learning to read music throughout the school year, and will enjoy the opportunity to frequently implement what they are learning about rhythmic structure, by utilizing many different rhythm instruments. In rich complement to their curriculum being studied in their History, Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and Geography classes, we will be integrating music into all of these studies, bringing the connectivity of integrated arts to life. Students will enhance their multicultural appreciation by learning songs from other lands. In addition, they will frequently augment their language development by learning songs in sign-language, just for the fun of integrating music into their ASL development.

The instructor will be using Apologia's Exploring Creation with Chemistry and Physics textbook and notebook as a guide. Families may choose to follow along using those resources.

Bible $0
11:00 am We have a desire to offer our cherished children serious tools to help equip them for the future. We all realize that “the world” will attack and try to disprove God’s perfect truth and the target is our children. With this in mind, we sought out a Bible curriculum that would teach our children to be able to find the truth on their own. No more carrying their Bible around like a golden brick. This year, the students will open and explore God’s word in deep meaningful ways in order to find truth. We will teach your child that when they are presented with a world view, whether via TV, social media, or in person, they are able to open God’s word and find direct, truthful answers. They will find that God’s truth is the only thing that matters. We desire their hearts be full of confidence in their beliefs and love for Christ. Our children are asking big questions in our present day culture, and they deserve big answers. We believe this curriculum will provide them with the skills they need to find those answers. Marion Bohn teaches this class.

Dramatic Arts $90
1:30 pm This class serves as an introduction to the elements of show production and scene-work, and culminates in an end-of-the-semester performance of a short play, when each child is featured in a speaking role. Each participant will receive individual and semi-private coaching and technical instruction in preparing for vocal and monologue auditions for musical or straight theater productions, which will also serve to enhance their Public Speaking skills’ development. We will cover: stage presence and comfort, line memorization, choosing and delivering appropriate and fun monologues and vocal auditions that showcase individual talents, combating stage fright, discovering kinesthetic stance, theatrical space, and many other important facets of producing an excellent audition, preparing to knock a Director’s socks off! Each child is automatically cast in the play, following their audition coaching, and each child (readers and non-readers alike) will receive a script and a script-learning MP3 that’s recorded for them, so that they have 2 great methods to learn their lines: reading and listening. This technique levels the proverbial “PLAY-ing field” and allows all children, regardless of reading prowess, to be ACTive in our play!

Jr. Toastmasters $30
8:30 am Think Public Speaking is stressful? It doesn’t have to be… Come join Gina Denckhoff as she facilitates this exceptional opportunity for your students to be encouraged and have fun with their friends while gaining confidence speaking amongst their peers.

Bible Study $0
11:00 am Why would we want to study a book that might be 3,500 years old? The bible claims to be God’s story of his interactions with his world and humanity. The Bible is the most important collection of books ever assembled in human history. It is also the book that created the culture and values of the world we know, values that are dear to each of us. Understanding this book is the key to understanding life. There are many interpretations of the bible and if we come into conflict about something, we will follow the example of the Bereans and test everything by the scripture. We will do the hard work of understanding how God has interacted with his people and what it means for us today. We will engage difficult issues. We will discuss difficult questions. We will study how God prepared humanity in all history to encounter the single most important event in all history, the coming of the Son of God, the Lord Jesus Christ.
We have three course objectives:- •To know and understand the over-arching story of redemption.
- •To know understand the major sections of the story, including their covenants and key points
- •To know how to interpret a passage using the biblical and historical context This course will have a reading requirement. David Seitzinger teaches this class.

Biology Lab $100
12:30 pm Ready to get excited about Biology! Join Gina as she shares her passion and love for science with your student.
This Biology Lab, intended to be a two-semester class, provides a fully hands-on comprehensive laboratory experience that correlates with the concepts taught in biology. It will provide enough hours, in addition to their studies at home, to provide your student with the work needed for the lab component of your biology credit.
Although students can use any biology text at home to study the complexity of God’s creation, the classroom experiments will follow the generalized schedule found in the Apologia Biology 3rd edition (the newest edition). Each week, the scientific method is reintroduced and practiced in each experiment either through microscope use (mainly 1st semester) or dissection techniques (2nd semester). Students will discuss and review concepts from their studies, but the majority of time will focus on hands-on experiments. Students sketch their observations and record their methods and data in their journals, and learn to complete formal laboratory reports from selected experiments. Gina Denckhoff teaches this class. -
