This class will focus on learning and putting into practice the 6-step problem solving methodology of Future Problem Solving Program International. Students may choose to compete in the FPSPI competitions. The competition preparation team will meet separately as an after-class club; class enrollment is required to participate in the competition team. Competitions are for teams or individuals. THE will have competitors for middle and/or senior levels (based on age) in global issues and/or creative writing.
Readers Theater
with Melissa Platero
Ages: 7 - 10
In this class, students will read through and act out scripts. All of the same acting and characterization skills students would use for other theatre classes will still be required in this one. In using this strategy, students do not need to memorize their part. They need only to reread it several times and familiarize themselves with it, thus developing their fluency skills.

How-to-Student
with Stephenie Stevens

Topics will include traditional and visual note-taking, test prep, basics of oral presentation, annotated reading, group project participation, using G-suite, and researching.
Introduction to Life Science
with Kiya Johnson
Ages: 7 - 10
This class follows the R.E.A.L. Science Odyssey Life Level 1 curriculum, providing a comprehensive introduction to biology through hands-on learning. Students will explore cells, plants, animals, human body systems, and ecosystems using experiments, models, and observation-based activities. The course emphasizes the scientific method, critical thinking, and real-world connections to life science concepts. Weekly labs allow students to investigate topics such as plant growth, animal classification, and basic anatomy in an engaging way. Students will maintain a science notebook to record observations, drawings, and key concepts. This class is ideal for elementary learners who benefit from interactive, inquiry-based science instruction. Instructor Bios
Middle School Physics
with Jim Mueller
Ages: 11 - 13
Join Science Jim for an excellent and fun introduction to the amazing world of Physics. We will be covering Newton's Laws of Motion and much more as we run, pull, build and throw our way to a deeper understanding of a core science. The focus of the class will be to expose the students to the fact that science is happening all around them. It's not just something that takes place in labs or universities. Physics is the science of the every day. Riding bicycles, walking, playing sports, Physics is right in front of you if you know how to find it.
This class will have weekly homework as well as regular quizzes and a final exam. Part of the reason for homework and quizzes is to teach the student how to organize their study time and improve their study skills.
Pre-Algebra: Building the Foundations of Mathematical Thinking
with Greg Corona
Ages: 10 - 13
Pre-Algebra helps students transition from arithmetic to algebraic thinking by building a strong foundation in numbers and patterns. Students work with operations involving positive and negative numbers, exponents, roots, and basic expressions. The course emphasizes understanding why mathematical rules work, not just how to apply them. Students develop problem-solving strategies and begin to recognize patterns across different types of problems. Lessons are designed to build confidence and reduce anxiety around math. By the end, students are well-prepared to move into Algebra 1.
