Calling all Middle-Schoolers! Join me for a Reading Journey this year! We will read some short stories, poetry (don’t worry, the poems will be engaging and interesting), and 4 novels from different genres. Many of the books will be classics and/or Newbery Medal winners. We will read at least 1 book that has a movie so we can watch the movie together. After completing each book, we will have an end-of-book party with treats that correspond with the book. During the year, we will also have a published author come speak to our class!
During class, we will discuss literary elements and devices, play games to reinforce literary elements in a fun way, and have engaging class discussions about that week’s reading. The discussions will be challenging, causing students to think outside of the novel. They will inspire us to reflect on society, our choices, future, and walk with the Lord encouraging growth as individuals and Christians. Homework will include weekly reading from the assigned book. Optional: The parent can choose to have their child complete a worksheet packet for each book that will be graded by the tutor.
Grades are based on completing each book, participating in class discussion, and the optional worksheets to deepen understanding of the novel.
Does your child hate to read? Give me a chance to help turn that around! We will be reading novels, short stories, and poetry from different genres to appeal to different reading interests. Discussion time during class will feel similar to a book club. We will read books that boys and girls enjoy. Your child can listen to an audio version while they follow along with the paper book if they would benefit from listening to the book. There will be a lot to love about this class and our time together!

Class Description:
Unlock your young learner's writing skills with class on argumentative, narrative, and informative/explanatory writing. Through a carefully crafted 5-Step Process — Prewriting, Drafting, Revising, Editing, and Publishing — your budding authors will refine their skills by separating the big tasks of writing into smaller tasks that are more manageable. Equip your young writers with the tools they need to embark on a journey of self-expression and confident communication.
And since writing isn't just about content, but also about grammar, punctuation, spelling, capitalization and more, we will also use an easy-to-understand curriculum with activities that require students to carefully analyze and edit stories, letters, or articles that contain mechanical errors covered in each lesson. This effective method allows students to gain mastery over concepts that will translate into their own writing.

In Book 1 of the Journey Through the Bible series, students will encounter the Biblical text firsthand through manageable daily readings. This course is designed for an entire school year and is divided into four units totaling 160 lessons. This first course in the series guides students through the Pentateuch and historical books of the Old Testament. The student textbook includes several black and white illustrations, maps, and charts. Each lesson (except for the final review lessons) includes outside Bible reading*, commentary within the textbook that helps to bring clarity to the student’s Bible reading, and thought questions. The textbook is designed to work closely with the accompanying student exercises workbook, which aids in comprehension of the Biblical text.
*Students will need to bring their own Bible to class. They will use this Bible for at-home readings and in-class reference and discussion. The questions in the student workbook are aligned to the New King James Version (NKJV) Bible, although students may use the version of their preference.
We will also integrate historical information, maps, YouTube™ videos, and word studies to better understand the context for each Biblical account.

Students will practice their talents and abilities through drawing and painting using watercolor pencils. Similar watercolor techniques and basic mastery will be developed through a variety of subjects and famous artists. Subjects will include still life, landscapes, florals, animals and the study of famous artists in their art style. Other materials will be used to create special effects, such as salt for resist, burnishing, splatter, color layering, wet pencil impasto, thin point black sharpie will add dramatic value to your mixed media pieces. Why Art? Art it’s not just crafts anymore! Art transcends all languages; one picture can communicate concepts as well as beauty.
