This high school physics course is appropriate for anyone in high school who has taken or is currently taking Algebra 1. This course does not use trigonometry, so it is appropriate for those in 9th grade, but is also challenging enough for students in the upper grades of high school as well.
The students will learn about many topics in physics such as the scientific method, Newton’s Laws of Motion, energy, momentum, atoms and matter, heat and temperature, pressure and buoyancy, waves, sound and light, electricity, DC circuits, fields and magnetism, and geometric optics.
Class time will be spent doing experiments, answering questions on material previously covered and introducing new material. Cumulative quizzes will be given weekly and four quarterly tests will be given. The textbook used focuses on mastery-based learning. Each week students will spend about 2/3 of their time on new material and 1/3 of their time reviewing old material. Lab reports will also be done throughout the year.

English 6th-7th Grades: $750 ($75 per month) S. Douglas
Supply Fee: $25
This class meets one time per week Aug-May
This class is best for incoming 6th-grade students and 7th-grade students who need to focus on grammar instruction and improving their writing skills.
Throughout this class, students will practice good writing habits, such as being consistent with incorporating the writing process: brainstorming, creating a rough draft, editing, and producing a quality final copy. They will also work on increasing their vocabulary through out-of-class reading and encouragement to use more vivid words as they write their descriptions and creatively express their thoughts. There will be a heavy emphasis on complete and comprehensive coverage of all three elements of G.U.M. - Grammar (i.e. parts of speech, complete sentences), Usage (i.e. homophones, figures of speech, proper word choice to convey meaning), and Mechanics (i.e. punctuation, capitalization).
While this class will not focus on literature, there will be required reading from a provided list that the students will work on independently. This reading will be considered a part of their grade, and they will give an oral report on their chosen books several times throughout the school year. By the end of the school year, your student should feel better prepared for the higher-level writing required in the upper grades.

The objective of this class is for 6th through 12th grade students to gain confidence in their ability to speak and perform in front of an audience. Side effects may include increased creativity, better listening skills, and improved memorization, empathy, and flexibility.
Many shy and introverted kids enjoy playing a character and having words provided for them instead of struggling with what to say. Our prayer is that this class ministers to your children by growing their confidence and tapping into sides of themselves they didn’t know they had.
Class structure will include monologue work, scene studies, and improv. We plan to have a lot of fun.

Adulting 101: $775 ($77.50 per month) M. and G. Brannon
Supply Fee: $35
This class meets one time per week Aug-May
Grades 9-12
Have you seen that meme that says “I’m so glad I’m learning to do parallelograms instead of taxes. That will really come in handy come parallelogram season”?
That’s the spirit behind this class. Not that parallelograms don’t have their place, but many high school graduates fly the coop and end up discovering a world where they feel unequipped to function. We want to go through some of the fundamentals of adulting, to impart some knowledge that most of us take for granted but can give confidence to young people who want to feel ahead of the game.
We’ll be talking about Health Insurance - Healthcare is a disaster and we couldn’t decipher it if we tried but we will at least cover the basics- What is a deductible, premium, copay, and alternatives to traditional health plans.
We’ll even be looking at some car maintenance tips so your student will know what to do with a flat tire or check engine light.
Teen Talk - A few minutes each class will be spent discussing and role-playing things like- how to introduce yourself and make small talk, good manners, and etiquette, how to establish a good reputation, how to greet parents of your friends when going to hang out at their home, etc.
These are the types of topics we’ll be tackling, and we’ll be doing regular AMA’s (Ask Me Anything) so we can help these students avoid some of the mistakes we’ve made and learn some valuable lessons sooner rather than later.

This class is going to be fun, messy, and creative! Below you will find a general recommendation of supplies that we will use consistently throughout the year. Do not stress over the brand, size, or amount. Use what you already have on hand, or what you are getting for other classes. I will also have extra supplies available in class.
Additionally, I will send notes home periodically asking you to contribute household supplies that you may have on hand—toilet paper rolls, produce bags, etc. Again--DON’T STRESS! I am all about working with what you’ve got and will encourage your kids to be creative with items that can be reused or recycled.
Finally, you will see optional items to have on hand. We will be outside utilizing the class garden quite a bit, so you may want to send your kids with a hat or sunscreen that they can apply themselves. Gardening gloves aren’t necessary, but I know some kids prefer to use them.

Colored pencils
Markers

Grades 2-5
In this fun and creative class, young learners will discover the joy of sewing through age-appropriate, hands-on projects. We'll begin with basic hand stitches and gradually introduce the sewing machine in a safe, supportive environment. Students will practice fine motor skills, build confidence, and complete projects they’ll be proud to show off - like pillowcases, bookmarks, and other simple crafts. No experience needed - just a willingness to learn and a love for making things!

Basic sewing kit items found on this list: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3KF3ROPY6OP8P?ref_=wl_share
**The course instructor will be supplying fabric for projects.
Student families can order directly from the Amazon link above (same link for both class, I've included the amazon notes below, because amazon cuts off part of the note)
The items on this list are recommended items for your basic sewing kit which is required as class supplies. Some things can be found at the quilting shop in Montgomery, "Threaded Lines" on 149 south or "Quilters Quarters" in Conroe on HWY 105. Hobby Lobby is another great source. Also, see notes on each item. If you have any questions, please reach out.
- 1 spool each of BLACK and WHITE thread (required for both classes) - Black and white are commonly needed thread colors. Feel free to also pick out a favorite color for when color doesn't matter on our project. It's always more fun to sew with colors we love!
- 1 pack assorted hand sewing needles (required for both classes) - Singer or Dritz are good brands. I would stay away from off-brands on Amazon as they tend to have burrs making them snag fabric and cause unnecessary frustration.
- 1 pack metal needle threaders - If you can find a single, that's great, but these break easily or get lost, so a 3 pack is typically perfect. However, this is a tool of convenience and not completely necessary.
- 1 seam ripper (required for both classes) - A thicker handle like this is good for beginners. Stay away from the super small ones.
- 1 embroidery hoop (required for both classes) - Any embroidery hoop that is 6 to 7 inches in diameter. Plastic or wood.
- Flexible tape measure (required for both classes) - If you can find a single, that is all you need, but it's great to have a back up.
- 1 pack quilting pins (required for both classes) - These are the better kind (in my opinion). Avoid longer ones like corsage pins. Those are super dull and only snag fabric.
- Fabric scissors (required for both classes) - Fiskars or Olfa brand scissors will be the better choice as far as fabric-only scissors.
- Triangle tailor's chalk (required for Intro to Sewing only) - Avoid stick chalk like chalkboard chalk. They are not skinny or "sharp" enough. Also, NOT NEEDED FOR ELEMENTARY SEWING
- 1 6" x 24" non-slip quilting ruler (required for Intro to Sewing only) - This is my favorite ruler, as it has grid lines for 1/2 inch in addition to 1 inch. I do feel 1/2 inch markings are very necessary for accuracy. Also, NOT NEEDED FOR ELEMENTARY SEWING
- 45mm Rotary cutter (required for Intro to Sewing only) - If your student is LEFT-HANDED, you will want to actively search for a 45mm rotary cutter for lefties. Also, NOT NEEDED FOR ELEMENTARY SEWING.
- Cutting mat - This mat has 1/2 inch grid lines or dots. This is not needed in class, as I will provide cutting stations. Useful for working at home. Also, NOT NEEDED FOR ELEMENTARY SEWING.
- Sewing machine recommendation #1 (Brother) - I have enough sewing machines for IN CLASS USE. I might have one or two available for students to borrow at home, but that is not a guarantee. If you are able and want to purchase a machine, this is the sewing machine used in class.
- Sewing machine recommendation #2 (Singer) - This machine is a good entry-level WORKHORSE. It will handle more than the beginner Brother machines that I have for class, but also operates in the same way our class machines work so students can be taught in the same manner.
