Kindergarten–Children’s Art journal        By Barry Stebbing    $10.95
           First- third    –The Lamb’s Book of Art    By Barry Stebbing    $14.95
Description:
This class will be using the above text for in class projects.  Both cover the same material.  The Children’s Art Journal is simplified to make the lessons easier for kindergartners.  The following topics will be covered: color, drawing, nature, cartooning, portraits, clowns, anatomy, measurements, and creativity.  Since the class will be meeting every other week, I would like there to be practice assignments at home.  The children will practice the lessons learned in their sketch books with the following supplies at home: washable markers, drawing pencils, paint brush, kneaded eraser, and a ruler.  Usually these are items we already have.
The supply cost goes toward the supplies we will keep in class.  The sketchbook will be purchased in the supply cost.  I will write assignments down on the inside of the sketch books for ease of communication.  Please have the children bring them back at each class time.  The assignments will be simple and not a problem if uncompleted.  I just want the children to get the most out of the class and be ready to move on to the next lesson with ease.  The practice will help them improve and feel confident to be able to move on to the next level.

Adam to Abraham History/Bible Class:

Ages: Grades K - 2nd (PK if Mom attends class with child)
Text:
 I have the curriculum and several resource books. Each parent will be responsible for a chapter or we may be able to work in pairs.  We will have a
preliminary meeting to assign chapters.  At that time I will hand out copies of your chapter.  We can pass the resource books around, or if you would like, you can purchase your own.
Description:
The book of Genesis is the book of origins.  The focus of the study will be the 1st twelve chapters – Creation through the Table of Nations.  These Old Testament stories lay the foundation for understanding the life of Jesus and His purpose for coming into our world.  The messages taught in Genesis  are the same as those taught throughout the rest of the Bible:

1. God is sovereign
2.
 God has a plan which He is carrying out
3.
 God is able to take the bad and the evil and cause it to serve His eternal purposes, thus bringing great good out of it all.

This class will help our little ones know from an early age that our favorite Bible Stories (Noah’s Ark, Father Abraham, etc.) are so much more. We will read, hear stories, do map work, artwork, try foods, experiment.

we will learn about each of the Levitical Holidays and Hanukkah.  We will learn what they symbolize to the Jewish people, what they mean to us as Christian.  We will have fun learning the details of the celebrations.  Many of the details as God set them out for the Jewish people are prophetic of Jesus.  This class will be a lot of fun and educational.  It is my hope that the kids and helpers will dress in period costumes for the festivities.

Ages: 3rd thru 8th Grades
Description:
A BACH Mom will lead a class series.
The class will overview how our government works. One month will deal with the Legislative Branch, one month the Judicial Branch and one month we will quickly cover the Executive Branch.  The class will be interactive with the children taking the roles found in the various branches of government.  Examples of activities may include a mock legislature session, mock trial and mock elections.  The parents will need to be involved both in and out of class to help your youngsters be ready for the next session.  This is not a drop and go class.  A field trip to Austin to see the capitol is part of the class plan.  The Legislature is not in session this next year, so there will not be a lot of action.

  • Students will ARRIVE ON TIME.

  • Students should be careful driving in the parking lot as pre-school families use the same parking lot in the mornings and afternoons.

  • Students should pay teachers the first class of the months or late fess of $5.00 per week late.

  • Students should not bring food, drink or other trash in classrooms.  Your own cars are the ONLY place non-academic trash should be deposited.

  • Students will not play on church property.  Keep all skateboards, bikes and balls at home.

  • Students should not bring iPods, cell phones or other electronics to class.

  • Students should BE QUITE.  The hall you go down will have pre-school classes going on.  The rooms under you could have church meetings or Bible studies.

  • Students should report any accidental damage to the property to FBC or a BACH Board member as soon as possible.

  • Parents should pay a registration fee of $30.  This registration fee will goes to the church.

  • Parents should send payments on time - the first class of each month or pay late fee.  If you drop a class, there is a two month cancellation fee.

  • Parents should NOT stay on property with other siblings.  There is a park nearby.

  • If a child misbehaves in class, the teacher will first try to handle it with the student. If that does not resolve the problem, the parent will be notified and required to sit in the class with their child for one month.  If that doesn't permanently fix the problem, the child will be removed from the class with payments still to be made to the teacher.

  • If a child misbehaves out of the classroom, on church property, the student and his parents will be made aware of the problem and will need to correct it.  If any problem happens again, the student will not be allowed back to classes at the church, but payments will still need to be made to the teacher(s). Any adult at the church is to be respected and obeyed at all times.  They can, and will report misbehavior.

  • There is no formal dress code because BACH has always felt the parents can direct this area for their own family.  We believe all parents in this group have an understanding of what is appropriate attire for Christian children and youth.  If any extreme situation comes up, it will be handled on an individual basis with grace and an appreciation for individuality given to all by God.

  • Many of our high schoolers drive themselves to class and will go out and get lunch or snacks at various establishments in Boerne.  Please remind them that they represent home schooling and BACH to all these places by their conduct, speech, etc.

  • Students will do a service project at FBC after each semester.

I will be teaching this course as a high school elective.  Students are eligible to receive a full year of high school credit upon completion.

Stock Market Game:

Ages: 9th -12th Grade
Requirements:
Newspaper or online access to stock information and SMG website.   Also email account and OS of Windows 98 or higher of Mac OS 9.1 or higher.  This curriculum does not have a text but provides an abundance of handouts which I have decided would be best to be emailed to expedite class time and cost of printing.   Also it will be necessary to provide laptops for students to share with group investing.  Last spring semester seemed to work well.   There were enough laptops for each group. 
Description:
The Stock market game is an internet based stock trading simulation. Using the newspaper and the Internet, teams of 3-5 players each learn the basics of investing, research companies, and make decisions about how to invest a hypothetical $100,000 in common stocks on the NASDAQ, New York, and American stock exchanges.  In this realistic simulation, trades are made online using the actual ticker symbols and real time pricing.   Portfolios are updated daily and monitored throughout the session.  The Stock Market Game provides the curriculum and related activities to teach and reinforce required skills in many subject areas.  Correlations have been developed that align the SMG program with school requirements in economics, math, social studies, and business education.
This game is played throughout the state and nation by many participating schools.  Various Texas sponsors including The Texas Council for Investor Education and the SA Express News back a financial award to the top three teams in the state.
There is also an opportunity to participate on the national level with a program titled "Invest Write" a writing competition with specifics relating to the students investment learning experience in the Stock Market Game.   Awards include laptops and trips.  Depending on the number of students in the class, BACH will hold its own awards and end of game party just like Spring of 2007.

Teacher:
BACH Mom
Fees:
$35 per semester (up to $5 extra per month may be required for students access to newspaper stock quotes depending on selection of and frequency of newspaper). These are shared in their groups and especially helpful during game dates.   Most individual stock information will be gained from online financial web sites throughout both semesters.
Time:
Fall 2007 & Spring 2008. Mondays @ First Baptist Church following Personal Finance Class from 4:30 – 5:00p, with an occasional hour long class when finance class dismisses early on test dates.   Classes will be held @ the church only in the fall semester through February 4th which will include stock market instruction and preparation to play the game.    Beginning February11th through April the game will be played which will require students to meet in their competing groups with available internet connections and laptops.  Because the church does not have internet available to us we will plan on meeting at the Boerne Daily Grind (or if there is a better suggestion) weekly for one hour just like we did Spring 2007.   The specific day and time for this is pending determination.
Game Date:
February 11th through April 18th
Location: First Baptist Church of Boerne

Journalism:

Ages: 8th -12th Grade
Description:
This class will meet at least once a month.  The students will put together a yearbook, a youth newsletter and a student directory.  They will also have the following fieldtrips: Digital Photography Classes, Computer Graphic Classes and Summer Workshop at UT in Austin.

At the end of the year, BACH has a promotion and talent show night.  Students are promoted to the next grade and receive a promotion certificate.  They can also display school work from the year at academic tables that are provided.  Students can also perform a talent that night.  We have had singing, playing of instruments, reciting poetry/scripture, karate demonstrations, and many other fun talents. Talent is optional, but fun to watch.  It’s a great night to bring those doubtful relatives!  Graduation of any seniors usually follows Promotion.  Promotion/Graduation night will be announced at a later date.
