Crafts with a Purpose  6^th-8th

Course Description

If your student took it last year, they are welcome to join again and I will add new projects to the class.

How would you like your child to learn how to make their own gifts for friends and family? I taught this class in the 2008/2009 year and had mothers telling me that they were hoping to receive one or more of the "gifts" we made. One mom told me that at Christmas time she was so blessed that instead of her son being excited about what he was getting for Christmas, he couldn't wait to give the gifts he had made to his relatives. I had so much fun in the class that I looked forward to teach it every class. 

In this class, I will be teaching the students how to not only how to make crafts that they can give as gifts but also how to tap into the creativity that the Lord has put in all of us. Some of the crafts will be calendar centered while others won’t be. Even though I have designed/planned each of the projects I will be encouraging their own creativity in the finished project. Some of the projects will only take a week while others will take longer.

This is meant to be a fun class. The intention is not for it to be a class just to give them busy work or to make things that only a mother would display. Therefore, we will be using real scrapbook quality supplies in some of our projects even though we will not be making scrapbooks, possibly a scrapbook page but not a whole album. By this I am saying that we will be using quality products for our projects no pre-made glue together products.

There are certain supplies that each student will be required to bring each week as part of their basic kit. These items will be listed on the forum separately. Except for the few items that are in their basic kit I will be picking up the rest of the items that they will need for the projects.

My intention is not to make really expensive crafts just quality crafts. Therefore there will be an initial deposit fee of $25 with an additional $20 or $25 sometime during the year if and when necessary. I only ask for $10 at a time when necessary. If you have questions about the fees, please feel free to contact me. 

This class is not a drop in if you feel like it class. I will be committing my time and energy to not only teach the class but to prepare for the class as well. Therefore, I ask that you and your child be committed as well. If any students are rude in any way they will be asked to leave my class. I expect them to not only be respectful of me but also all of the other students. Please always feel free to ask me any questions about the class that you may have.

Some of the projects will be done in a week and others will take multiple weeks.This class is for grades 6-8th. I am willing to have between 10-12 students in the class.Please have your student on time as we will need the whole time to work on the projects.

Prerequisites

Prerequisites: Students must be able to do crafts with minimal assistance. They must be able to use scissors on their own without any assistance.

Fundamentals of Recorder Playing for 5th grade and up

Course Description

Your child will learn basic music theory as well as how to play the recorder. It is a great, inexpensive way for your child to see if they are musically inclined. (recorders are inexpensive) We will watch a few video clips of recorder making and playing. We will work through a wonderful basics-book called Fundamentals of Recorder Playing. We will have a few quizzes throughout the year on music theory. By the end of the year, your student should be able to play most simple pieces. (The book is no longer in print. I have a few books and some copies of the book [with written permission] that the student may use. But I am going to ask that you make copies as well for your student to keep and take home to practice with. The few complete copies I have can be purchased for the cost-to-me of materials if you would prefer. First come, first serve. The original books themselves I will not be selling. Each book is 50 pages long.) Class size limit: 10 students I prefer the students use the recorder with "German" fingering.

Prerequisites

Your student will need to have his/her own recorder and text book mentioned above.
