LBC Homeschool Enrichment Class Descriptions

Art Class: The children will complete a variety of projects involving different art techniques and styles. Some examples are working with Sculpey Clay, making a diorama, painting on rocks, paper maché, drawing and sketching, and making puppets. The children will learn about keeping a Nature Journal: what is a Nature Journal, why it is important, its relation to learning science and how to sketch various aspects of nature that God has created for us. We will also spend a small segment of time each class learning about famous artists and studying their work. This will cover Art Appreciation. Some examples of artists could include the works of Norman Rockwell, Claude Monét, and Camille Pissarro.

Band/Orchestra:Elementary (6-13)& High School (14+) Students are encouraged to take this course as beginners, intermediate or advanced players any instrument/any level.

Cooking Class: Ages 3 to 5 and 6 to 9 will start with a brief overview of kitchen utensils and equipment, kitchen safety and clean up, and proper conduct in a kitchen. We will then start with no bake recipes and build up to fun ways they can enjoy cooking. We will smash and mash our food and also decorate fun cookie shapes. Educational aspects of the food we eat will be included as time allows.

Ages 10 to 12 will start with a basic overview as well and then begin making fun kitchen recipes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They will have fun learning to run kitchen equipment and even learn how to make desert in the microwave.

Ages 13 to 18 will be expected to prepare more difficult dishes and will learn more the cooking in general than the other ages. This is a great time to foster a love of cooking that can really improve their lives to come. Students will receive recipes, teacher will assist in cooking, andthen be encouraged to prepare it at home for their families. We will discuss nutrients and vitamins and the way they help us grow. Once the children learn to be carefully confident in the kitchen they can learn to love healthy food that is fun to make.

All students are required to bring an apron and an oven mitt that the child can wear when we cook to be left at church until the end of enrichment classes and will receive a cookbook containing all the recipes we cooked together.

Creative Writing: 3-5 year old class: There is no written work for this group. The teacher will be reading story books and giving them color sheets as well as introducing very basic sentences, adding well known adjectives. (Ex. The dog is playing. The big brown dog is playing with his bone.)

6-9 year old class: Students will have books read to them and complete very basic worksheets appropriate for their ages. They will also be introduced to basic adjectives and adverbs to help them describe basic and/or compound sentences.

10-12 year old class: This class will delve into more complicated adjectives and adverbs. The teacher will cover rules for usage and basic grammar rules. Students will begin writing basic journals andlearn rules for writing friendly and business letters.

13+ class: This group will concentrate on writing actual reports. They will learn how to write using descriptive sentences instead of just using facts. Older students will learn necessary techniques to properly write an essay such as what they will encounter for graduation requirements , college entrance exams, etc. Junior high ages will mainly focus on journal writing applications using basic techniques.

Music Classes: Elementary (ages 3-12) will study basic rhythm patterns and melodies while memorizing scripture songs, character building songs and other fun Christ-centered melodies. They will play lots of fun games to reinforce basic principles or music and sing, sing, sing!!

3-5 class: Students will play the rhythm instruments such as triangles, blocks, bells and sticks in addition to the above.

6-9 class: Students will play rhythm instruments and learn basic recorder. They will also study well known composers such as Beethoven, Bach, Handel, and Mozart. A brief overview of theMedieval, Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, Romantic and Modern eras will also be studied.

10-12 students will learn to play the recorder. They will also study composers within the Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, Romantic and Modern eras. Students will also study music history in the church and learn Biblical patterns for right music. Students are encouraged to choose an instrument to play as we seek to form a band/orchestra within our enrichment group.

13+ Students will use the Landmark Music Elective curriculum (and are required to purchase the test book from Landmark at a cost of $40.00..includes shipping). This course qualifies to count as a formal high school elective on their transcript. Landmark describes the “Principles of Music” course as: “…Balanced, positive approach to the subject of music. Through studying music history, music theory, and the aspects of music, students learn how right music has developed and are trained to understand why modern discordant, dissonant, and rock music is not honoring to the Lord Jesus Christ.” This age group will also be encouraged to play an instrument in our band/orchestra class within our enrichment group.

Physical Education: The goal of the physical education classes is to develop a foundation for physical fitness as well as an understanding of the importance of keeping our bodies fit to be a good testimony and worker for the Lord.

Ages 3 - 5: Exercise is Fun! Students will play a variety of age-appropriate games and learn basic fitness moves (running, hopping, and jumping-jacks) that will get them to be active!

Ages 6 +: Using the National Physical Fitness Test as a guide, students will get an introduction to physical fitness as well as be instructed and evaluated in 5 different exercises. Students will also participate in several structured age-appropriate activities that will supplement the fitness moves they will learn. As they master these moves, they will have the opportunity to earn awards based on their individual level of fitness.

Spanish :Elementary (ages 6-13) Students will be introduced to conversational Spanish. Students will complete worksheets, play games and learn songs and speak the language. High School (ages 13+)This course is for use as a high school elective and is the equivalent of one full credit. Landmark Spanish is designed to give the student an introduction to Spanish, and to help the student be able to present the plan of salvation to a Spanish speaking person. Students are required to purchase the Landmark curriculum at $40.00 (includes shipping).
