Classes for the younger kids will run concurrent with classes for the older kids.

If not possible, please contact Heidi Mize of Kim Pearson through Facebook. Classes will start on Monday, September 14.
Reading for Littles $5
I will be using a variety of mediums to teach letters, numbers, colors, shapes, and simple words during the first nine weeks. I will be using and sending home short copied booklets that will teach letter sounds and words. As the year progresses, we will move into increasing the level and will incorporate workbooks, etc. I will give ample notice of cost (I promise to keep minimal!) and payment options. This class is for ages 7 and under.
P E for Littles
This class will be for ages 7 and under. Description will be added soon.
Geography for Littles $5
This class will be the same as Geography for the older kids, just taught on a level that is appropriate for 7 and under.
Creative Writing $10
Students in this class will learn the components of a story, sources for inspiration, word choices and ways to make their writing more excellent, and ways to enhance their story by bringing the five senses into their writing. They will be discussing well written stories, learning to outline and organize their thoughts, as well as participating in a variety of writing exercises. More attention will be spent on the writing process rather than components of grammar and sentence diagramming.
This creative writing course will serve as the foundation for subsequent classes on note taking, public speaking, debating, persuasion, and roundtable/meeting etiquette and protocol. This class is appropriate for 4th grade and up.
