(TA) American Sign Language - Grades: 6, 7, 8 (12 students) Class held 1 time each week for 1 hour with 1 hour at-home learning expectation. Weight=2 I am excited to share the beginning conversation skills in ASL (American Sign Language). In this class you will learn about how sign language is not just on your hands, but on your face too! We will learn and practice basic conversations, learn about how the culture of the Deaf community differs from hearing people and explore the world of famous Deaf people. The class will be voice off for half of the time allowing you to have a “real life” experience. Hope to see you there! --Teacher: AmberJoy Coble Baking, Advanced - Grades: 6, 7, 8 (10 students) Class held 1 time each week for 2.5 hours with 0.5 hours at-home learning expectation. Weight=3 Ready, set, BAAAAAKKKKKKEEE…… No wait a minute not so fast. We need to learn a few things before we bake some awesomeness. First, we will explore our kitchen, understand tools of the trade, what’s the difference between butter and margarine, why you never scoop flour, and find out why your cookies turn out flat? Oh, the things you will learn about turning out quality goodies. Your parents will be amazed. Students must have prior baking experience (like at home) and have a desire to learn about the science behind baking. --Teacher: Jim Diacogiannis Bandstra – Grades 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 (30 students) Class held 1 time each week for 1 hour with 1 hour at-home learning expectation. Weight=2 Students in this class may choose to learn the fundamentals of music from learning to play a band or string instrument. The following instruments will be introduced to the class and students will choose one to study for the semester: violin, viola, cello, flute, oboe, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, trombone, baritone, and percussion (snare/bells to start). Students will be given opportunities to practice what they have learned in class at home, then incorporate this musical knowledge into a full ensemble. Weekly classes will build on each other – students will be taught at a pace that adapts to the individual as well as the group needs. Classes will culminate with a concert that showcases musical skills developed throughout the course. Although this is primarily geared towards beginning music students, all those with experience are encouraged to join – there will be opportunities for the development of leadership among the group. –Teacher: Chad Nuckles-Flinn Beginner Hand Drum Ensemble – Grades 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 (16 students) Class held 1 time each week for 1 hour with no at-home learning expectation. Weight=1 Drumming is a powerful experience. Drumming covers human experience from ancient to modern times and from simple primal beats to the most intricate and complex music. The younger the student the easier it is. No musical background necessary. This class is accessible to everyone, even those who think they can't "keep a beat." We will learn techniques from the ground up, as well as providing some cultural background about the drums and the rhythms we play. Students will learn how to hold their part in a multi-part drum rhythm from Africa or Cuba. Percussion instruments will be provided. -- Teacher Chad Nuckles-Flinn Book & Cook - Grades: K, 1, 2, 3 (14 students) Class held 1 time each week for 1 hour with 0.5 hours at-home learning expectation. Weight=1.5 Families will sign up as classroom helpers on a rotating basis. What's better than a good story and comfort food? In this class we will offer a range of developmentally appropriate kitchen skills for our younger learners: mixing, baking, blending, assembling, chopping, etc. Each student will create a cookbook of the recipes they make in class. Each class will feature a storybook that relates to our cooking adventures. On occasion we will embark on excursions in our Happy Valley/Fairhaven neighborhood. --Teachers: Carol Makela & Piper Mertle Breakfast With Friends - Grades: K, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 (12 students) Class held 1 time each week for 1 hour with 1 hour at-home learning expectation. Weight=2 Let's make breakfast together! We will prepare healthy & original breakfasts as we learn cooking skills such as planning, measuring, chopping & dicing, grating, and cooking over the stove and griddle. We will enjoy our homemade meals with stories and conversation. What a great way to start the day. --Teacher: Carol Makela Budding Northwest Naturalists - Grades: 3, 4, 5 (20 students) Class held 1 time each week for 2 hours with 1 hour at-home learning expectation. Weight=3 * This class includes occasional outdoor learning time as well as field trips. ** This class will offer North Star Sign in/Sign out procedures. In this class students will develop and hone their naturalist skills while getting to know the plants, animals and people that call the pacific northwest home. Students will engage in multi-sensory, hands-on activities, games, art, stories, and poetry to explore both the unique independent and interdependent features of our natural, cultural, and human history.
