Arts/Mathematics) classes. Here are just a few from the new class line-up:
* Dissect This! (for every grade level!)
* Drones! Drones! Drones! * Big Brains! Engineering Challenge * AFA CyberPatriot Competition
* CSI Forensics Some other great new classes that can be found in the expansed course catalog include:
* All Fired Up! Clay and Glass Fusion * Songmaker Symposium * Elite Tumblers and Cheerleading & Beyond! * Young Mavericks - Entrepreneur Academy (like Shark Tank!)
* and, much more!
What an amazing opportunity and honor it is be homeschooling “for such a time as this”! These
sentiments were overwhelmingly felt during the development of the 92-course catalog that follows (the

During this course, students get a rare opportunity to be part of the Air Force Association's National
Youth Cyber Defense Competition! The competition puts teams of high school and middle school
students in the position of newly hired IT professionals tasked with managing the network of a small
company. In the rounds of competition, teams are given a set of virtual images that represent
operating systems and are tasked with finding cybersecurity vulnerabilities within the images and
hardening the system while maintaining critical services. AFA

National Finals Competition where they can earn national recognition and scholarship money. Find
out more at www.uscyberpatriot.org $300/$TBD YEAR —— Fees TBD with
max fee of $83
Please Note: as part of this competition there will be addition time requirements outside of Monday
classes. Qualifying rounds start in Oct, and as the team progresses will last through Feb. Once a
month our team(s) will be required to meet for a consecutive 6 hr time period between Friday and
Sunday to complete the challenge. These will occur off site in another location than North Lanier
Baptist Church. In Algebra, students develop algebraic fluency by learning the skills needed to solve equations and
perform manipulations with numbers, variables, equations, and inequalities. They also learn
concepts central to the abstraction and generalization that algebra makes possible. Students learn
to use number properties to simplify expressions or justify statements; describe sets with set
notation and find the union and intersection of sets; simplify and evaluate expressions involving
variables, fractions, exponents, and radicals; work with integers, rational numbers, and irrational
numbers; and graph and solve equations, inequalities, and systems of equations. Algebra

Cursive writing is so essential, yet is vastly becoming a lost art. It doesn’t matter how a student is; if
they know manuscript writing, they should also know cursive writing. How else can students read
important documents in their original cursive format (such as the Declaration of Independence- so
vital to our country’s beginnings!). Studies show that when students have good handwriting, they
have improved memory retention, improved creativity and improved focus! Who doesn’t want that?!
Macauley, C.
Students learn cursive writing with letter families that build on one another. This course uses the
modified American style of cursive writing, but uses its own unique process to teach cursive easily
and in a fun way. Students practice their cursive writing with Bible verses and even turn their
penmanship into gifts of love for others at the end of the semester. $130/$10 This class introduces students to fundamental tools of art and design through movement. Students

Many times students get into a discussion with someone with whom gave reasons that were wrong
but they didn’t know why. Other times, students listened to politicians and knew what they were
saying didn’t line up, but they couldn’t quite put their finger on why. In these cases, students have
most likely encountered a “fallacy” (an illogical argument). Logic,

Students likely already know that logic has something to do with thinking clearly. But what they
might not know is that clear thinking matters because the truth matters! In this class, students learn to identify different types of fallacies such as the bandwagon, the red
herring, ad hominem, and many more. Students play fun games, such as” table football”, “pin the
band on the wagon”, and "find the red herring"! There are lots of ways to get tricked and even more
ways to learn how to combat those tricks with logic! So whether students are a logician, an actor, or
an artist, this class has very unique and exciting ways to learn how to fend off those fallacies! 17

Excitement about the real world makes young students eager to develop their mathematical
knowledge. In Math Mastery, connections are continually made to mathematical concepts previously
learned and to their life experiences. This is a supplementary course for students looking to be
challenged for a strong foundation in arithmetic. Topics include hands-on learning and applying math skills in everyday life for grades 3-4. Students
learn together and work up some excitement for math in the "real world". Math topics include word
problems, logical reasoning, measurement, geometry, spatial thinking, probability, statistics,
calculators, estimation as well as developing problem-solving skills. Math Mastery

and solidify math facts and processes through games and interaction. Through the use of online
and board games for math, math manipulatives and many hands-on math activities, students learn
math doesn’t have to be boring. By the end of the year, students master the utilization of number
sense concepts, develop automaticity of all basic math operations, gather, interpret and apply
measurement, analyze and apply geometric concepts, and begin to explore algebraic expressions. **This is a year-long course.** Math Mosaics: Algebra offers a unique, proven way to introduce algebra to students. New concepts
are explained in simple language, and examples are easy to follow. Word problems relate algebra to
familiar situations, helping students understand abstract concepts. Students develop understanding
by solving equations and inequalities intuitively before formal solutions are introduced. Math Mosaics: Algebra
Students begin their study of algebra using only integers. Next, they discover rational numbers and
expressions. Later lessons extend coverage to the real number system. 7-8

There are pieces relating percents to decimals and fractions, comparing and ordering, solving
multistep practical problems and determining the percent of increase or decrease for a give
