Science & Social Studies for K-8

---

This class is intended for students aged 4-6 but has some flexibility in age range. We will be observing and studying God's creation through nature walks, looking at plants, learning about little critters and big ones, playing indoor and outdoor games, making arts and crafts. We will do all of this with a focus on using all five senses.   

This will all be seasoned with a pinch of German. Children will learn several German words throughout the year. The plan is to be predominantly outside. Children will need to bring rubber boots and a rain jacket if it is raining.

This class is an overview of botany. It dives deeper into plant anatomy and classification and your student will walk away with a foundational, and working knowledge of plants. Each lesson is written in a conversational tone, and created using vivid graphics, engaging lessons and hands-on projects that will make learning about botany fun. As your student works through the lessons and activities, they will explore the life cycle of seeds to plants, how plants reproduce and make their food, as well as how to identify and classify a variety of plants.

In the second part of the year we will focus on Geology. We will be bringing the study of rocks and minerals to life. This unit study will be filled with activities, interactive learning, explore how earthquakes, volcanoes, floods, and erosion change rocks to shape Earth’s tallest mountains and deepest caves.

Join us as we study the stars, sun, moon, and sky together. Students will look at the skies and all that is in and beyond them through a Biblical lens. The Heavens declare the glory of God and we want our students to know that as they dig deep into the depths of God's creation. We will not just read about these concepts, but work with great visuals and activities to fully engage our minds in this amazing science. With Bible and telescope in hand, we will learn how people throughout history have searched the skies and seen God's beautiful handiwork!

This is for grades K- 3rd grade.

Students will move chronologically through time to teach United States History from a Christian worldview. Our first unit goes from the beginning to the French and Indian War. We will touch on topics such as Christopher Columbus, slavery, Thanksgiving, and Indigenous Americans. Then the students will learn about how our country was established, the history of politics, how voting works, the Constitution, Bill of Rights, Declaration of Independence, and Amendments. In our second semester, we will dive into who they are as an individual, their social skills, and navigating friendships.

Course Material: Gather Round - US History  | US Government  

 We want our students to be excited about Civics and understanding how our government works. We will be doing  this through targeted government studies and more importantly through hands on activities with elections, governing, debates, press releases and much more! It is critical to equip our students to be active and engaged citizens and that is our goal in this class.  We will build these muscles by focusing on critical thinking as we evaluate the news and the world around us and put it into practice.
