Learning GRAMMAR is Fun!!!
Our Foundations
Program provides a Classical Christian community for home school families
with students in grades K4-6th. We meet once a week, on Thursdays
for twelve weeks in the fall and twelve weeks in the winter/spring months.
Based on the Classical Model of education, families meet weekly to
introduce new memory work (or grammar of a subject) and review old memory
work using Classical Conversations’ Foundations Guide as the heart of the
curriculum.
A trained Tutor creatively
introduces the memory work and leads the classroom time. The memory
work is divided into 6 subjects: Timeline/History, Geography, Math,
Science, Latin, and English Grammar. In addition to the memory work,
students also participate in a Fine Arts project/lesson, a science
project, and an opportunity to practice oral presentation skills each
week.
Each year students have an
opportunity to participate in an optional Memory Master track, where a
student strives to memorize all the information for that year and recite
it to a few adults at the end of the year. Through the Memory Master (MM)
track students are "pounding in" the grammar pegs of history, Latin,
English Grammar, geography, math, science, and history timeline they
learned throughout the year.
Each week
students have an opportunity to practice oral presentation skills, ranging
from simple "show-n-tell" for the younger students to more structured and
prepared presentations for the older students. The goal of our
presentation time is for our students to be come comfortable standing,
talking, and presenting in front of their
peers.
Each week we also have a fine arts
time, covering one of the following: basics of drawing, music theory,
special art projects, and finally exposure to orchestra and classical
composers. Students enjoy this mixture of hands-on activities and
listening skills.
Finally, each week
students work with the tutor to have a hands on science activity time. The
goals here are for students to become familiar with the scientific method
and to begin discover God through His creation and order in subjects like
chemistry, physics, astronomy, physical science, and
more...
Kids and parents rave about the
time they spend together each week kids and parents develop precious
relationships, and parents love the academic complement this program
provides to their core schooling curriculum.
