Let’s have some fun—while learning meaningful life lessons along the way! In this hands-on class, students will create projects like magnet tile designs, origami, homemade aromatherapy, Play-Doh, and more. Each craft comes with a twist: woven into every activity will be thoughtful discussions about character, mindset, and personal growth. As we create, we’ll explore how each child processes information, expresses creativity, and applies those strengths to everyday life. We’ll use simple, tangible examples—like the ingredients in our Play-Doh recipes—to talk about what we “mix in” to our own lives. What happens when we sprinkle in negative thoughts versus positive ones? How do our choices shape the final result? This class blends creativity, conversation, and connection—helping students build both meaningful projects and meaningful life skills.

Forest School
Days Offered: Monday
Ages Offered: 3rd - 5th Grade
Class Description:
Bjj (Brazilian Jiu Jitsu)takes pleasure in being regarded as the “gentle art,” enabling a smaller and weaker person to defend himself against a larger opponent by using leverage and submissions (chokes and locks).
The form of training that is offered will be unique in that all of the skills are entirely defensive and do not include any strikes. Students will learn to protect themselves if they are assaulted, as well as how to defuse the danger and regain control. They will develop problem solving skills and prepare to face many problems and obstacles in everyday life, such as dealing with a bully. As a result, it will instill in your child the character traits that will lead to success in many aspects of life.
Jiu Jitsu employs concepts such as reaction, leverage, and base. Students learn to utilize an opponent’s strength to their advantage rather than struggling against it.
It promotes a greater sense of body awareness and coordination, which leads to increased confidence and inner discipline. Kids not only learn self defense effectively, but they also improve their kinesthetic abilities, allowing them to thrive in any other sport in which they participate.
The bulk of the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu class time is spent working with partners and practicing moves. This constant close contact enables practitioners to instill the natural phenomenon of body action and reaction to leverage and balance in an interactive manner, rather than individual repetitive moves in theoretical situations. Kids learn to read and anticipate their opponents’ moves, and then respond accordingly. They are continuously exposed to the dynamic, and it gets hard wired into their body’s memory.
Brazilian jiu-jitsu, on the other hand, offers an added benefit: mental toughness. Bjj is a physical chess game in which you are always planning your next move in response to your opponent. Physical contact with other people, a sense of belongingness, goal setting and accomplishment, and confidence gained from learning and performing new skills all contribute to the development of mental toughness.

Days Offered: Monday
Ages Offered: 3rd - 5th Grade
Class Description:
Join me for a Reading Journey this year! We will read some short stories, fun poetry, and 4-5 novels from different genres. Many of the novels 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. We will also have a published author come speak to our class!
During class, we will discuss literary elements and devices, play literary games to earn prizes, and have engaging class discussions about that week’s reading.
Homework will include 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.
If your child is taking other classes at Aspire that includes reading novels, this class is very doable and will even enhance their comprehension of other literary works. With each novel, we thoroughly cover different literary elements and devices. This will enhance their comprehension, expand critical thinking, and help them connect more deeply with the novel. All of these skills will be helpful for other classes your child takes this year and in the years to come.
Is your 3rd - 5th grader a reluctant reader? 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 both enjoy. An audiobook version is perfectly fine with me if your child would benefit from listening to the book. There will be a lot to love about this class and our time together!

Dive into the fundamentals of clear, confident writing with Discoveries in Writing, a theme-based course rooted in the Structure and Style® method from the Institute for Excellence in Writing. This class guides students through engaging topics—from historical events to fascinating world subjects—while teaching them how to take notes, organize thoughts, write from source texts, and craft well-structured compositions with strong vocabulary and style. Lessons cover key writing skills such as summarizing, retelling, using checklists to self-evaluate, and applying new vocabulary, all within a writing-across-the-curriculum framework that builds both competence and creativity. Writing assignments will build gradually in complexity, helping them grow from emerging writers into articulate communicators.
