This innovative high school course blends the culinary art of charcuterie with the science of nutrition and health. Students will explore the history, cultural significance, and techniques behind creating charcuterie boards—featuring cured meats, cheeses, fruits, nuts, and accompaniments—while examining the nutritional values and health implications of these foods. Emphasis is placed on food safety, preservation, and balanced eating, connecting culinary practices with principles of wellness and human biology. Through hands-on projects and experiments, students will develop skills in food presentation, scientific analysis, and critical thinking about dietary choices. Projects include designing nutritionally balanced boards, exploring local and seasonal ingredients, experimenting with curing and preservation, and creating allergen-friendly or culturally inspired boards. By combining creativity with scientific understanding, this course empowers students to make informed, health-conscious decisions while expressing artistry through food.

Students are entering this class mid-year. 

ELA 2 will focus on 3 areas: grammar, spelling/vocabulary, and creating a well composed sentence/paragraph. The grammar area will have lessons on all parts of a sentence as well as verb types, agreement, and conjugation. Spelling/vocabulary will be differentiated according to each individual's prior knowledge. By the end of the year, the writing practice will hopefully payoff with a superb paragraph. The true priority for the year is a superb sentence. If the paragraph happens, we will call it gravy. There will be weekly homework, quizzes, and tests in this class; however, these tasks are for practice and evaluation; no grades will be calculated. Before enrolling in this class, students should be at a 3rd grade or greater reading level and have mastered all of the grammar topics presented in ELA level 1. Students who come to class without this knowledge will be asked to transfer into ELA 1. The students will need access to a computer with internet access at home. Our classroom time will be divided into three parts of lecture, comprehension checks, and fun activities. Students are happier and more engaged with the material when they are learning it with games, arts, or puzzles, so I try to incorporate at least one each week.

This is for new or returning students. No semester will be the same as each class will be catered to the students in the class. What will be the same is we will be using executive functions and applying them to the students’ lives. Whether it’s managing time, staying organized, setting goals, handling stress, or making decisions, this class focuses on strategies that support independence, productivity, and personal growth. Through discussion, interactive activities, self-reflection, and real-world planning projects, students will build routines, habits, and systems that help them succeed in school, work, relationships, and beyond. Students must have completed a previous semester of Executive Functions.

Through fun and engaging building projects, they will learn to solve real-world problems, think critically, and work together in teams. Each week, students will be introduced to a new challenge, such as designing a bridge to hold weight, creating a simple machine, or building a structure that can withstand an "earthquake." They'll use their problem-solving skills, experiment with different solutions, and explore concepts in engineering and design—all while having fun with LEGO! This class fosters teamwork, creativity, and a love of learning, making STEM concepts come to life in a way that’s exciting and interactive for young minds.

In this class we will read stories about nature and the living creatures in our ecosystem. We will keep nature journals and go outside to look for the bugs and critters living or visiting this location. Students are also encouraged to nature journal about their own backyard. We will learn how to identify animal tracks, use binoculars, collect specimens, and how to use field guides and mapping skills. Please have your children dress accordingly for the weather. We go outside every class to explore.
