• Monday: Scrap Crafty Creative Building
  Price: $190.00 Quantity:
  Ages 5-12 When others see an empty cardboard box, do you see a lunar lander in need of tin foil solar panels? Or maybe you see a bakery with shelves just waiting to be stocked with colorful paper cupcakes? If this sounds like you, then come join our Scrap Crafty creative building class! We will use our imaginations to turn “trash” into one-of-a-kind treasures, learning some creative problem-solving techniques along the way. Each week will have a theme, such as “arcade games,” or “castles,” and students will use a variety of repurposed materials to complete the challenge. Come join in the fun! Ashley Quigley is a homeschooling mom of four Deerstreamers and a former public school teacher. She has BA from UNC-CH and a Master of Social Work degree, but her real qualifications come from many years of building awesome creations out of her “scrap crafty” bin with her kids.
• Monday: Balancing Equations with Mrs. Waggoner
  Price: $190.00 Quantity:
  Students Ages 10 and up who have not had Algebra 1 Hands-On Equations is a supplemental math program that makes solving equations a hands-on activity. Using a balance scale, game piece type pawns, and number cubes, students are able to physically represent and solve increasingly difficult algebraic equations. Each class will include new concept introduction and group problem solving; review of previously taught concepts, if applicable; teacher-assisted individual practice in problem solving; and, as time permits, math games and additional challenging math problems. This class is meant to encourage students' enjoyment of mathematics and to prepare them to succeed in Pre-Algebra and Algebra 1. I am Teresa Waggoner, a graduate of UNC-Chapel Hill (BA and MAT in Mathematics). My teaching experience has been in a public school junior high (four years teaching math to 7th and 9th graders), at the Hill Center for a short period, private tutoring, and previously teaching at Deerstream. My husband and I have four sons we homeschooled for most of their K-12 education. I think I have always loved mathematics because I enjoy the challenge of solving problems in a logical manner with the assurance that there is a correct answer. I also enjoy studying the Bible, reading, cooking, and, most of all, spending time with my family, especially my 18-month old grandson!

  Price: $190.00 Quantity:
  Ages 5-8 Calling all bookworms! Join us for a fun-filled, book-based, story time adventure. Students will not be expected to read in this class. Instead, we will enjoy literature - books, stories, poems, and songs - together. Each week we will dive deep into great picture books. We will create art, skits, and puppet shows based on themes and characters. We will sing and play games to encourage literacy skills and comprehension. Book lovers and reluctant readers alike will find a safe space to enjoy listening to, learning about, and being engrossed in great children's books. This is Ms. Winslow's first year at Deerstream. She feels so fortunate to have spent the past seven years learning at home with her two daughters. Prior to that, she taught elementary school in both private and public schools across North Carolina. Ms. Winslow loves to run with her dog, read, and travel with her family. She is passionate about sharing and encouraging a love of literature with kids.
• Wednesday: Beginning Ukulele with Mr. Stith
  Price: $190.00 Quantity:
  Ages 8 and up Whether this is chapter one of your kiddo's musical education, or your child is ready for a new instrument to explore, students will learn notes, chords and basic theory, all while having a great time playing songs together. The ukulele is a versatile instrument; it’s sociable, easy to learn, portable, translates easily to guitar, great for singing and songwriting, increases finger dexterity and helps the left and right sides of the brain work together, and it's fun! *Students will be required to provide their own ukulele for this class. A reasonable ukulele can be purchased for about $30. Mr. Stith recommends this one as a good option: POMAIKAI Soprano Wood Ukulele Rainbow Starter Uke Hawaii kids Guitar 21 Inch with Gig Bag for kids Students and Beginners: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07KF8S5HB/ref=cm_sw_r_em_apa_i_mfhRDb3XRV1KR Curtis Stith has been working with kids of all ages in private music lessons for the past 5 years, and loves to watch children grow in their ability to take charge of their own learning, and set and achieve goals that they are excited about. He's been studying music since he was 6 years old and enjoys learning and discovering new ways to think about and experience music. In his free time you can find him recording and performing music with his wife, playing strategy games, and hanging out with his cat Dusty.
