-Copy the list of potential classes
-Paste it into your comments, or onto a word processor to go over it easier then copy back
-Delete classes you don’t want, and leave the classes you like, and vote on them-
3 = high interest- please have this class!
2 = medium interest- we would probably come if this was offered
1 = low interest- we are vaguely interested, but not a preference
If you didn’t include it, I will assume you have no interest in that one.
Feel free to add comments and fix flaws. Also, please note any class you or your teens might be able to teach, co-teach or assist with. I highly encourage teens to get involved and teach or assist. Note that we will NOT be doing all of these classes (too many wonderful ideas for one year!), and we have two semesters to spread them out over. This is NOT signing you up for classes or helping in any way at this point, and we will NOT give you all the work! We want each person to be able to help in a comfortable way and not be burdened by it. After this revision we should be ready to make final decisions and create a schedule when we meet on May 1.
ALL AGES:
*Field trips (Angel may arrange)
*Family group time (11-12) (Angel may arrange)
*The play, “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever”- would need to have a large cast, and distribute parts and lines over summer to be ready to do in December 2-3 times (Felicia, will need assistance)
*Drama- if another idea was presented
*Spanish- all ages levels have been requested, but we need teachers (Kathy C?)
LITTLES:
*Preschool PE (Is there a teen who would like to take this class?)
*Preschool Art (Jan might be willing to do again, once a month)
*Preschool Story Time (Is there a teen who would like to take this class?)
*Art Concept class for ages 4-6 (Sunni and Marilyn)
*Anything hands on for the younger ones
*Anything science for the younger ones
*Nursery Rhyme class for the younger ones where they focus on 1 nursery rhyme each time or each month that would include a craft/art (Sunni)
MIDDLES AND OLDERS:
*Anything science- middles (especially if biology doesn’t happen)
*Woodworking (Peggy)
*Character Traits – Konos (Sunni and Marilyn)
*PE class that teaches the rules of different sports and the basics of how to play for early elementary age (Melody, would like help)
*Math- middles- facts in a fun and a bit competitive way including games, competitions (Melody, Felicia)
*Quilting (Sharon)
*Art class for the middles (Is there a teen who would like to teach this?)
*Speech- elementary (Malinda)
*Lego League/Junior Lego (Melody, but would need a host of others)
*Science Robotics class
*Biology - highschool level - possibly using Apologia curriculum -would need to meet weekly - significant homework required, cost for supplies (Angel, Malinda)
*Biology for middles, based on what olders were doing but at their level (Felicia, need help)
*Master Librarians class (Magic Tree House book themes) (Jana)
*Writing- Several different ideas:
Using IEWA concepts, and doing projects with either story writing, or based off of the history we will be doing about the eastern hemisphere. We would probably let this become a little bit of a speech class when we present them with each other, as well. (Felicia)
Writing for middle school and older, possibly be using WordSmith, writing homework required. It might focus on essays, short stories, maybe a research paper. (Malinda)
Book report class for upper elementary. Class will be given the opportunity to read books and give creative book reports. (Malinda)
*Music & Harmony- Learning to read music and sing, including harmony, choir -upper elementary through high school (Felicia)
*Logic- Middles and/or olders (Felicia)
*Drawing- same class I did in 2013- middles (Felicia, though I’d happily give that to one of our amazing teens)
*Drawing class - Would love to see some of our excellent artists in Jr. high/ High school teach a drawing class for the upper elementary. Some homework requested.
*Olders- chemistry
*Bible Discovery - class of middle school to high school students doing inductive Bible study on a Scripture passage and sharing their discoveries with each other with adult facilitators. (Malinda, would need others)
