Class Description:

Leadership training is a billion dollar industry in the U.S. because effective leadership is an indicator for success. As Believers, we know our definition of “success” looks different than the world’s definition. We want success for our children starting right now with friendships, school, and sports. We want to see them succeed as young adults in jobs, college, marriage, parenting, and in their churches and communities. We want to see them leading others to Jesus. Leadership training is clearly valuable. This class will be a fun and interactive training ground for leadership development using Biblical standards of leadership. We will dive into leadership theories, group dynamics, team building strategies, communication, goal setting, conflict resolution, and interview skills all through a Biblical Worldview. By the end of the year students will leave this class with a clear understanding of what leadership is, how to lead in different situations, recognize their own strengths and weaknesses, and strategies for Christlike leadership in a broken world. 

A high level of maturity and participation in group activities will be expected from all students in this class.

Class Description:

What child doesn’t love centers? Centers are a wonderful way for children to explore and learn in small groups, and are absolutely so much fun! They allow students to engage in many open ended activities. This class will allow young learners to rotate through 3 centers each Friday. They will engage in a variety of different activities during their time in class. Centers will change every few weeks, so children will have an opportunity to explore each center at least once, and will be able to revisit a favorite center in subsequent classes. 

Types of centers will include a Movement Center, Building/STEM, Science, Math, Arts and Crafts, Literacy, Puzzles/Games, Hands-on/Fine Motor, and Dress-up/Play. Each week we will have 6-8 center options. Activities in some centers will be differentiated, so that younger students and older students can explore and learn about the same topic with activities that match their age and abilities. 

Children will have the opportunity to build with many different types of materials, play games, do puzzles, preform experiments, create, dig for buried treasure, study nature, and much more. They will explore with magnets, scales, balances, and magnifying glasses.
