K-4 Winter 2025 Classes:

Spanish: This is an interactive class that will introduce your student to the Spanish language through songs, stories and hands-on activities. A new vocabulary theme will be taught each lesson. Students will practice during class with lots of verbal exercises. Come prepared to have some fun! (Mrs. Jackie Thompson)

Art: Students will use a variety of art materials to create mixed media projects. (Mrs. Lori Holtorf and Mrs. Starr Warndahl)

Living Active Bible: All over the world, children are learning the Bible through a method called LAM!  The Living Active Method allows children to immerse themselves in Bible stories through play and active learning.  Each week, children will hear a Bible story that they re-enact, including that all-important "takeaway."

PE: High energy games and fitness activities led by high school athletes will provide a fun opportunity to get the wiggles out during the co-op day. (Amelia Johnson)

Speech: This is a low-pressure opportunity for students to present in front of their peers twice during each 8-week session. Depending on age/development, speeches can range from "show and tell" for our youngest Peeps (K/1) to developed presentations/demonstrations for our older students. (Parent Volunteer)

 

Grades 4-6 Winter 2025 Classes:

Music: I'm excited to use my experience in music to positively impact children through fun, educational, and spiritual activities. We'll explore the Bible's view on music, learn about classical composers, and study all instrument families. Kids will get hands-on experience with instruments, learn musical symbols, dynamics, Italian terms, and how to read notes.  Parents and older siblings are invited to share their musical talents. Join me in celebrating the 'joyful noise,' and feel free to share your ideas as I prepare lesson plans for the summer!(Mrs. Amy Sauder)

Literature: Let's take a dive into the poetry of the Psalms. God is a  creative and beautiful poet with much to teach us! We will read, dissect, and write our own poems through projects and games. (Mrs. Molly Johnson)

ASL: In this class, students will be introduced to letters, numbers, vocabulary, and a few grammar basics of American Sign Language.   We will practice these skills through in-class games, activities, story-telling, and role-play. (Mrs. Tracie Rieder) (4th/5th)

Atmosphere and Astronomy: In this class, we will utilize engaging experiments to learn about our atmosphere and discuss astronomy from a Biblical perspective. (Mrs. Melanie Biermeier) (5th/6th)

 

Registration for Winter 2024 will open November 30 for current Path families and December 7 for new families!

***Please note you are registering your child for the 'K-4 class track' or the '4-6 class track.' Students will be divided into small sections (roughly by grade and age) when registration is complete. For 4th graders, consider your child's attention span and academic readiness when making your selection, as the older classes are longer and slightly more academic in nature.
