This class is intended for anyone who is interested in learning how to play chess. No prior familiarization of chess is required (Advanced players, see ** below). The initial class periods will focus on describing the objective of the game, setting up the chess pieces to play the game, learning the names of the various pieces, their legal moves and their values (with respect to the other chessmen). Other chess terms and notation (for documenting game play) will be taught. Subsequent class periods will consist of playing the game using more common openings and possibly explaining strengths/weakness of some moves. Handouts will be provided at the end of each class period that will describe goals and topics covered that day.
Each student will complete and record at least 3 games by the end of the semester. These 3 games do not have to be completed during class time. These games can end in a win, lose or draw. The teacher will review the documented game play of each of these 3 games for legality of moves only and will not evaluate perfection/imperfection of game play.
**Students who already have a strong familiarization of the game are welcome to enroll in class and pair with opponents of equal levels. Higher level chess players will also be taught strategy and continue to improve their game by playing.
This class is for grades 3-6.

Creative Drama is a fun, interactive introduction to the basics of theater. Weekly activities including mirroring, pantomime, and charades will allow students to explore and develop various important skills used by "real" actors, such as gestures, facial expressions, and vocal projection. We will then apply these skills while acting out Bible stories, fairy tales, and children's books, and will spend part of each class period rehearsing for a short skit to be performed at the fall program.

"Picturing America brings some of our nation's most significant images into the classroom." This study is a way to understand the history of America through artistic masterpieces. It will help bring the past alive through some of our greatest American art. " A nation that does not know where it comes from, why it exists, or what it stands for cannot be expected to endure -- so each generation of Americans must learn about our nation's founding principles and its rich heritage."
This class will help provide your student with our nation's character and history. Each week students will have an opportunity to learn about art concepts and draw in their own sketch book. Also, my hope is that this class will encourage our children to love the arts and prepare them for the next chapters in America's future.

Forensics: An Opportunity to Speak classes introduce and engage students in competitive public speaking. Through participation in National Christian Forensics and Communications Association (NCFCA) tournaments, positive class encouragement and feedback, public speaking and performance skills are sharpened.
During the first semester students will prepare an Interpretive speech and a Platform speech for competition. Interpretive speeches include dramatic, humorous, open and duo interpretation in which a student selects a piece of literature and performs it. Platform speeches are traditional speeches in which a student writes and delivers his own material. The types of Platform speeches are: original oratory, illustrated oratory, and persuasive. The last type of speaking that will be taught is Limited Preparation. LP speeches such as impromptu, apologetics and extemporaneous, teach students to think on their feet, thus developing rhetoric, a necessary life skill used to defend one's faith. The larger goal of our club is to raise communicators for Christ in a team-spirited manner. Please see http://www.ncfca.org/ for more information on NCFCA and competitive events. Parents new to the NCFCA league are required to attend this class to assist their student(s) during the first semester. (This does not qualify as your CHFM volunteer assignment).
"As I Was Saying" is the required textbook for this class. It is out of print and can only be purchased used. Contact the instructor for help in purchasing a copy of this book.
This class is for grades 6-12 and is a year-long class.

This course is designed to be a student's first systematic introduction to the sciences. Although it can be used for eighth grade (especially if the student recently left public school), it is typically used best in the sixth or seventh grade. The course covers such topics as the scientific method, designing experiments, simple machines, archaeology, geology, paleontology, biology, and human anatomy and physiology. Its scope, therefore, is quite wide. There are many hands-on experiments to do.
This class is for grades 6-8 and is a year-long class.

Our kids all love history but often we exclude geography from our lesson plans. History and Geography are intertwined and in order to fully grasp history we must understand geography. Join us as we explore and discover where in the world things happened in history and also present day. We will study the traditional geography topics of this vast world (physical and political geography) and also weave current affairs into our studies with assignments relating to present day international happenings. The class will provide excellent preparation for the National Geography Bee for those competitive geographers!

We will have many fun cross curriculum activities to make Raph S. Mouse come alive.
Students will have one major project to complete outside of the classroom at home. Every student will be asked to do a book report on a chapter book of choice and include a visual aide. The book report will be shared during class time for all to enjoy and visual aides will be displayed at our Spring program. Each week we will write in a reading response journal and look up vocabulary words at home that correspond with the chapter assigned.
This class is for grades 1-3.

Students will explore the fun of math through multi sensory activities as well as literature. Each week a new math concept will be discussed and implemented through hands on participation. This is an excellent class for children who already love math and want to have fun with it, and it's perfect for those who have difficulty understanding the abstractness of mathematics. Concrete activities will range from standard to non-standard measurement, graphing, grouping and more!
This class is for grades 1-3.

The expression "Men of Letters," in many cultures, described contemporary intellectuals. The term gave distinction between those who “knew their letters" and those who did not. In more modern times, the expression came to stand for authors whose work was so profound, it lasted the test of time. In bygone days, students would read rich, complex literature and learn how to write based on the works of great literary masters. "Men of Letters" is an especially designed, year-long class for high school students who wish to increase their knowledge of literature and writing. It has become apparent in these modern days that writing with clarity, purpose, and structure is an art that needs revisited.
"Men of Letters" students will be taught to organize their thoughts, design attention-grabbing, logical thesis statements, and how to support their theories in writing. We will immerse ourselves in
pieces of literature that command our attention and our participation. Literature from timeless masters will be our teacher. The essential union of learning how to write from unforgettable literature will be our foundation. In addition, students will learn how to conduct an online threaded discussion on an eductional (safe) blogging website.
Many students can read. Many students can write. Yet, what you read and how you will write - this is the essence of "Men of Letters."
A very specific list of supplies will be required. The supply fee is for voluminous copying and books.
This class is for grades 9-12 and is a year-long class.

PUBLIC SPEAKING
Description:
We can and we must be able to give an account for the hope that lies within us, and we all have the God-given ability to proclaim the truth. What more important skill is there, than to learn to speak well in front of others and to share the gospel? "Beginning Public Speaking," a wonderful curriculum developed by Communicators for Christ, will serve as the foundation for this class (textbook is NOT required). Students will practice speaking in front of others, an opportunity not regularly afforded at home, by presenting informative speeches, impromptu speeches, in addition to classroom recitation. This class will provide a wonderful opportunity for your child to improve his or her ability to communicate with others.
This class is for grades 9-12.

"The difficulty of literature is not to write, but to write what you mean."
Robert Lewis Stevenson
"Wordsmith" is a year-long class designed for Middle School students who wish to discover the tools to study rich literature and to improve writing in regard to form and style. A “Wordsmith” is someone who is an expert with words. Your "Wordsmith" will be writing awesome paragraphs using expressive language. "Wordsmith" will explore a sundry of writing techniques, both formal and creative. Students will be exposed to powerful literature, learning from wordsmith masters. Literary elements such as: plot, setting, character, climax, conflict, similes, metaphors, mood, and personification will be explored. We will seek to improve our writing by implementing foundational techniques and principles. This class will be taught in a methodical, systematic manner. Each lesson will lay a foundation for the next. Communicating clearly, carefully, and concisely is imperative. We must provide the tools by which our children will be able to influence the world around them in an honorable manner. Never before has there been such a need!
A very specific list of supplies will be required. The supply fee is for voluminous copies, journals, and class incentives.
This class is for grades 6-9 and is a year-long class.
