9th to 12th - Diane Spears
Potential High School Classes
Introduction to expository writing-Stacie Akins
Am. History Part II - Emily Bottomlee
Biology I-- Chasidy Buttram (This is a DVD course)
Request for PE and Spanish are still out there if anyone is interested in teaching.
We have about 20 of each of the following books:
Entrepreneurs for Life: Faith and the Venture of Purposeful Living
Doing Well and Doing Good: Money, Giving, and Caring in a Free Society
When No One Sees: Character and Leadership in an Age of Image
Steering Through Chaos: Vice and Virtue in an Age of Moral Confusion
These look really good and I think someone could teach a class from one of these.
Other options are for the students to join the junior high classes or study hall.

6th to 8th Grade - Lydia Brown
Potential 6th-8th Grade Classes
-- Literature/Lost Tools of Writing - (Taught by Karin Millican) This will be a 2 hour class. The first hour will be literature, then the second hour will be the Lost Tools of Writing using the literature they are reading in the first hour. This class will not be a good fit for everybody. Most 6th graders could not do it. They have to be very mature and have had IEW writing previously. (Enrollment in this class would be conditional and upon approval of the teacher.) This class would suffice for their entire language arts program for the year. There will be a cap of 8 students.
-- IEW U.S. History – (Taught by Karin Millican) This is a continuation of Book 1 and picks-up where last year’s class ended to finish the course. If your child has had IEW writing before, please talk to Karin to see if this would be a good fit for your child. (This may be taught in place of the Lit/Lost Tools above.)
-- Beginning Writing (Possibly IEW)
-- Vocabulary - (Taught by Karin Millican) This will be using either Mastering Vocabulary or Memoria Press. It is based on Greek and Latin roots.
-- Logic (Taught by Karin Millican)
-- Dare to be a Daniel
-- Speech/Debate (Taught by Karin Millican)
-- Science Experiments - Using either Apologia's General Science or Physical Science. (If you would like this, please specify which course you would rather have.)
-- Spanish
-- German
-- American History (Part 2) – Taught by Elizabeth Mann
-- Art (Taught by Lia Hopper) This will be using a wonderful book called "Discovering Great Artists" and it teaches about great artists through the ages and gives art exercises to do using their styles. This class would cover History and Geography as well).
-- Life Skills
-- P.E.
-- Chess Class or expanded to other strategy games
-- Ecopolis is an economics/government resource where each person in the class plays a part in a simulated town. Students get a chance to have jobs, make speeches, elect officials, pay taxes, compete in business and more. It’s very student-directed with the teacher playing the role of a facilitator rather than lecturer. Reproducible handouts, role cards, graphics and a posttest are ready to go for you. (Taught by Lydia Brown)
-- Manners and Etiquette
-- Photography
-- Poetry (Taught by Stacie Akins)
-- Math class using - "Exploring the World of Mathematics", "Champions of Mathematics" (both by John Hudson Tiner) and "Mathematicians are People Too" (Luetta Reimer and Wilbert Reimer) All of these books discuss great mathematicians through the ages and their discoveries. (Taught by Lia Hopper)
-- Writing using a book called "Writing the Natural Way" - a course in enhancing creativity and writing confidence. Using Right-Brain Techniques to Release Your Expressive Powers: Clustering, Recurrence, Re-vision, Image and Metaphor, Creative Tension, The Trial Web, Language Rhythm. (Lia Hopper is willing to teach this or let anyone else willing to teach it borrow the book.)
There is some discussion about having an optional class. It would be 9:30-11:00. (Lunch would be 11:00-12:00) Some ideas for this, if there is any interest, are:
-- Group Guitar lessons (We may have a teacher for this class. More info to come.)
-- Drama (Taught by Lia Hopper) They would focus on one play per semester and the class would only be on Tuesday mornings from 9:30-11:00, if we have the fourth class option. There might be a couple of dress rehearsals the week of the performance. A thought for the first semester is “A Charlie Brown Christmas.”

3rd to 5th Grade - Karin Millican
Potential 3rd - 5th Grade Classes
Class Suggestions with a Volunteer Teacher:
1. Beginning IEW Writing - All Things Fun and Fascinating (Teacher - Lydia Brown)
2. American History Part 2 - 1850s - modern (Teachers - Emily Scott, April Carter)
3. Art - Hands On Art for Children in the Styles of the Great Masters (Teacher - Lia Hopper)
4. Fun Science Experiments - mostly chemistry (Teacher - Chastidy Buttram)
5. History, geography, science, and spelling using the Little House books (Teacher - Lia Hopper)
6. Science using the book Science Through the Ages (Teacher - Lia Hopper)
Class Suggestions without a Volunteer Teacher:
1. IEW Writing - more advanced than the above mentioned
2. Praise dance
3. Literature using Teaching the Classics: A Socratic Method for Literary Education
* Students will learn to recognize the elements of fiction (plot, setting, conflict, characters, and theme) and literary devices (assonance, alliteration, imagery, similes, metaphors, personification, allusions, etc.). Students will also
examine authorship and context. The goal would be to help students identify story elements and understand the author's purpose in a way that enables them to: enjoy literature, broaden their perspectives, interact gracefully with
important ideas, and be inspired and ennobled!
* I have the DVDs and seminar workbook if anyone is interested in watching and learning over the summer in preparation to teach the class. I LOVED this class when I taught it two years ago! My kids love it!
