Friday School/Tuesday School Programs
Now Updated for 2011/2012 school year!
Our Friday/Tuesday School Programs are unique educational and social opportunities. Taught by professional instructors,they are designed to supplement the home education of your student and broaden the scope of his/her experience and interaction. We currently offer THREE distinct programs - you may choose to participate in any of these, or in all of them. Each program meets EVERY OTHER WEEK, beginning on the dates noted. (This means that the two Friday programs meet on ALTERNATE Fridays, in their respective locations), and each has 8 morning sessions per semester.
Please see appropriate section(s)
below for details about each program.

Enriching Children through Art, Science, Music
and Physical Movement.
Our purpose
is to love, support, and serve each other, the parents, and the children, with
the love of Jesus Christ. We want to enrich the home school experience of
children by teaching these extra-curricular activities, as well as providing an
opportunity to build relationships and bond with other children through
constructive social contact.
Chapel :Students and parents meet together for worship and a devotional. Student
leaders are being developed as we create worship teams with praise team
leaders. We also listen to God? Word through parent speakers.
(Parents
are encouraged to participate in Chapel through worship and listening
attentively to the speaker. Sitting with your own children is recommended.)
K-3:
Classes include various activities that create a joyful classroom experience
that incorporates science, history, cooking and PE. A weekly theme pulls
everything together to make this a fun time for your student.
Physical
Education involves
basic movement principles which will be incorporated throughout this class,
particularly in teaching skills which are specific to various games and sports.
Selected activities will show a balance between individual and team emphasis,
with a good attitude and sportsmanship always at the top. Physical Fitness will
be addressed in every session during warm-up and the California Benchmarks and
Standards will be covered. Each class will include skill instruction, a variety
of drills and a FUN lead-up game which will be sequential through the specific
unit.. Kids should wear clothing that they can PLAY in, and shoes they can RUN
in. Each class is designed to emphasize the motor development of that
particular age level and be lots of FUN for ALL!!!
Science-A lab-based class centered around
Creationism. It introduces the student to basic scientific concepts through
lectures,teacher-student interaction and, of course, experiments. Some of the
past subjects taught have included astronomy, chemistry, physics, botany and
entomology.
Art-This class will be an Introduction to a
handful of different art mediums. Students will experiment with sketching,
pastels, watercolors and cartooning. This class is designed to meet the
students?different ranges of skill and interests through a series of
assignments, home projects as well as keeping a sketchbook throughout the
session. The goal for the class is for the students to unleash their
creativity, develop their skills, gain knowledge and confidence in the arts,
and do all of the above while having FUN!

For Grades K - 8
The K - 2 graders will be doing a session on "Teaching Character through Literature" similar to the Beautiful Feet study guide. We'll be reading, drawing and writing or tracing simple Bible verses or stories. The 3 - 8 graders will be using the same type of character-based literature books while learning the IEW (Institute for Excellence in Writing) skills. The students will be putting together a binder and learning basic writing skills, using IEW methods. More details to come.
In this
session of Tuesday School the kids will learn about an artist from an
interesting book showing many photos of the artist's work. We will then create
a piece of art similar to what that artist made. Some of the weeks we will need
two Tuesdays to complete our artwork, so hope you can make it to each class. For
those of you who have been in my Friday School First Grade class, we will be
doing different projects. Looking forward
to teaching your students!
