Pre-K 3/4 & 4/5

Preschool-aged children learn exceptionally well through play, but also benefit greatly from structure. Each day in class there will be a regular routine that includes plenty of free play, physical play, and cooperative play, as well as group listening time, art, music, science, and a Bible lesson.
Class sizes are limited to 8 students.

Science: Astronomy / Weather
Instructor: Julie Von Vett
Class Length: 60 minutes / 15 meetings
Course Description: If you were to study astronomy from a secular book, it would lead you to believe that the universe evolved over millions of years. If you were to study astronomy from a Biblical creation perspective, you would see the design features in these heavenly orbs. The sun, moon, and stars truly declare they were made by Him and for Him. We will also study weather. Weather is part of the system God uses to preserve and nourish His plants and animals, thereby making this planet livable for humans. By observing nature’s order and beauty in weather, we learn much about God.
6-year Science cycle: Botany, Geology, Astronomy/Weather, Animals, Flying Creatures, and Human Body
Art

Course Description: Students will learn about art history and different techniques used over the years through the “Meet the Masters” art curriculum.

Each student will get a chance to create their own artwork using the different techniques of each of the artists we study using a variety of mediums.
