In this class, learners will come together to form their own cheer squad. They will come up with a team name and form a squad together. Each class will have a different focus. However each class will include a time for them to work on stretching, conditioning, and positions. After a few sessions, each learner will make their own chant and share it with the other learners in the class. We will also learn a dance together. This will be a great team building exercise. It's a fun way for children to be physically active and to have fun! Regular attendance in class is encouraged so learners can grow together in a supportive community of friends. Regular attendance in class is required so learners can build their squad together. At the end of the session, students will present what they've worked on.

In this class, we will use a day at an amusement park as the basis for project based learning as we reinforce skills used in core subjects. We'll work on social studies as we learn how to use a map and see who is needed to help a park run successfully. We'll use art and ELA to create and develop our own rides, characters and mascots. We'll use math and economics to determine how much food we'll need to feed our patrons and how we can make a profit. We'll use science to see how to make our rides work. They will work on individual projects, then they'll work as a team to create one big park together which will be presented at the end of the session. Regular attendance is encouraged to give the learners the ability to build a complete park together.

Play, problem-solve, assess, construct, build, and find out how and why things are built/made.
We’ll work individually and as teams to support each other in our upcycled creations, and think critically about what we’re trying to achieve and how –with what we have and can collect to do it.
This class requires families to help us collect our recycled working materials.
As we build we’ll learn to reduce, reuse, recycle, and have more ecological awareness of how our actions impact the environment.

This is definitely not mommy’s yoga practice! This class is different from anything you have in mind when thinking of a yoga class but will still contain all of the amazing benefits that yoga and mindfulness has to offer. Children derive enormous benefit from yoga and mindfulness practice, it enhances their ability to focus and learn, teaches them to focus on the present moment, brings them awareness of others and their surroundings, gives them tools to help navigate the sea of emotions, as well as the physical aspects of flexibility, strength, coordination, and body awareness. In addition, their concentration, stress relief abilities, and sense of calmness improves, allowing them to absorb and learn more.

The students will become junior geologists as they explore the world of the Earth’s crust, rocks, minerals, and landforms. Our junior geologists investigate the layers of the earth, their properties, and how and why they formed. Students then learn the difference between rocks and minerals. They learn how the three main types of rocks are formed and how they change over time in a process called the rock cycle. Students sort samples of common rocks according to their type. They learn special characteristics of each, and become familiar with specimens of Earth’s most common rocks. Students spend several weeks studying minerals, learning what makes a mineral a mineral, procedures for testing mineral properties, identifying a variety of minerals through experimentation and testing, and studying minerals with microscopes. Students will learn the five characteristics of a mineral. They will then use these characteristics to determine whether different specimens are minerals or not.

"Where do rocks come from? Where do they go? What are rocks made of? How do we describe and classify rocks? Where can we find rocks on Earth? In this course, students become rockhounds to tackle these questions and more! We investigate the layers of the earth and learn how to read maps using scales and legends. Students observe and manipulate a large variety of igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks. They describe and then classify them according to their properties. Students observe a sediment cylinder and find the layers and the sediments in the cylinder. Using sand, shells, and rocks, students make their own sediment. Students dissolve and create crystals and observe different crystal shapes in igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks. They learn the different ways that fossils can form and create their own simulated fossil. Students will learn about soil and test the properties of soil, sand, and rocks.They study how water, wind and ice affect rocks& create different layers.

This physical science course is an exciting examination of matter and energy. Matter is that which makes up most of the world around us, and energy is what enables everything around us move and work. Physical science is the combination of two science fields, chemistry and physics. This complete course is designed to fit the middle school curriculum and will span two semesters. Fall semester covered chemistry, and Spring semester will cover physics. We will focus on the physical concepts of kinematics (how objects move), dynamics (why objects move), and energy (the ability to move or change). Students will also participate in an end-of-year project that they will design and build a toy to demonstrate their understanding of physics.

This is a year-long class.
We will start with a review of all operations with integers. We will then move into combining like terms, and writing & solving 1-step, 2-step and multi-step equations and inequalities, and absolute value inequalities. We will spend some time with the rules of exponents, including negative exponents. We will perform all operations with polynomials. We will be spending some time with linear equations and systems of equations and their graphs before moving onto all operations with rational expressions and equations, radical expressions and equations, and quadratic equations & functions. Of course, we would never leave out uniform motion problems cause if two trains leave the station travelling at different speeds, you need to know how long it will take them to be at the same place!
We will use the following textbook, which can be purchased used:

Class meets twice a week on Tues.& Fri.
This one-year course is a review and extension of the concepts taught in Algebra 1. You will gain a deeper insight into Mathematics and get to practice using your new skills with lots of examples and questions.& In Algebra 2 you play with letters, numbers, and symbols and get to solve equations to find answers. Once you learn some of the “tricks”, it can be a fun challenge to figure out how to use your skills in solving each “puzzle”. With your new skills you will be able to put together equations so you can find good quality solutions to many tricky real-world situations.
You will learn about Polynomials, Inequalities, many types of Functions, and how to solve them. You will develop advanced algebra skills such as graphing, analyzing and interpreting functions such as polynomial, rational and exponential.& Algebra I skills are used throughout this course. Textbook info will be emailed to enrolled students.

In this yearlong class we will focus on understanding plane and space relationships. One thing that many students find they like is that geometry is less abstract and more visual than algebra – easier to 'see' what is going on in the problems. For some of this class we will focus on what people usually picture when they think of geometry: topics like area, perimeter and volume, measuring angles, and using triangles to find the heights of tree and buildings. You know, stuff you can use in the real world out there. About 2/3 of the class covers problems that are not designed to necessarily be directly usable in the real world, but are instead exercises so students can explore and practice the process of solving problems in general. We will spend a significant amount of time on proofs and logic, which helps students consider how we know the things we know, and how to build on knowledge we’ve learned before .....

In this intro to film class, students will gain a deeper understanding of how films come together to move us as an audience as they begin to look at film through a critical lens (just like they do with literature). Through weekly discussions and creative assignments, students will explore how elements like narrative structure, mise-en-scene, cinematography, editing, sound design, visual effects, and music help to shape a film. Students will keep a weekly film journal, exploring these elements in a film of their own choosing as well as weekly films watched outside of class. Some suggested films include Hugo by Martin Scorsese, Rear Window by Alfred Hitchcock, and Hero by Zhang Yimou. This course will explore the evolution of cinema from its inception to the modern era. Students will follow the history of American film--from the silent era, the rise of the studio system, the birth of the blockbuster, and the growth of independent cinema--as well as learn about filmmaking around the world
