Advanced Cooking and Baking

Jennifer Knight   --   Grades: 7th-`12th   --   Class Supply Fee: $15

This is a more advanced course for those who are mature in the kitchen. You do not need to have taken the Intro course but do need experience in the kitchen. We will be looking at harder techniques and have more ‘homework’, seeing as most of the techniques will be more time consuming. Homework will NOT be every week and  will still usually be up to the discretion of the student, e.g. make a type of gelatin dessert, either marshmallows or cream pie. They are responsible for taking a photo or posting a photo. Students will be given sourdough starter at the beginning of the year and will seek to keep it ‘alive’ until semester. We will be talking more in depth about international foods and techniques, more complex desserts, and the science behind the food. There will be times they may need ingredients for home use, but I always seek to use pantry staples and not incur extra costs to families. Students only need a set of recipe cards (index cards will work).

Algebra 1

Josh Jones   --   Grades: 8th-12th, who have completed Pre-Algebra.

Required materials: Math U See Algebra I student pack; may need to purchase a graphing calculator

• Engine components and how engines operate

• Major automotive systems: electrical, fuel, cooling, braking, and suspension

• Hands-on skills: disassembly, inspection, and basic repairs

• Proper use of automotive tools and shop safety

Through guided projects and practical exercises, students will develop mechanical skills, problem-solving abilities, and confidence in the shop, preparing them for more advanced automotive work or future mechanical training.

No prior experience is required—just a willingness to learn and work with tools!

Beginner Cooking and Baking

Jennifer Knight   --   Grades: 7th-12th   --   Class Supply fee: $15

Students are responsible to take photos and either bring in or post when we have ‘homework’, which is usually something simple and with plenty of discretion, e.g., bake a pie of your choice, etc. We also cover the economics of cooking at home, whether it be saving over eating out or meal prep. We cover the basics of sourdough vs yeast breads, freezer meals, and hospitality.  Students only need a set of recipe cards ( index cards will work).

Forget dry textbooks! Lego Geography is a student-driven interactive class that puts teens in the teacher's seat. Join us as we explore cultures, landscapes, geopolitical twists, and fascinating real-world history through discussion, media, and creative hands-on builds. 
We plan to spend two weeks on each continent where students learn about various country highlights in class via travel vlogs and cheesy educational videos. At home, teens will deep dive into their chosen country to discover hidden historical ties, amazing natural wonders, or strange and unusual landmarks. Full, formal reports are not required, but I do encourage students to do some research.
Students are encouraged to build in Lego a landmark, landform, architectural feature, or hidden gem. If Legos aren't available or something a student enjoys, feel free to build in Minecraft or create a drawing, painting, or sculpture.
Active participation is required. Because this course is run as a collaborative, student-led discussion rather than a passive lecture, weekly participation is STRONGLY encouraged. Teens thrive in this class when everyone jumps in, shares their builds and what they learned, and dives in. 

FOOD ALLERGY: Because food is fun and a wonderful way to experience other cultures, we may, from time to time, introduce an unusual food from another place. Please provide me with an allergy warning for your student, or permission to (or not) participate. Most teens know what they can and cannot have/do and nothing is ever mandatory. It's just nice to have in writing.

Shakespeare’s Burn Book & British Icons

Antoinette Dees  --  9th-12th Grade

(417) 630-5613        lynnt5270@gmail.com

This one semester course drops students straight into Shakespeare’s most dramatic, hilarious, and unforgettable moments. Students explore his sharp language, iconic insults, and high energy scenes from multiple plays, making Shakespeare feel bold, accessible, and surprisingly fun. Instead of reading full plays, students focus on the best sections—moments packed with conflict, humor, mystery, and big emotions—while learning how Shakespeare’s language works and why his characters still shape storytelling today.

The class is hands on and interactive, with dramatic readings, quick interpretation challenges, creative rewrites, and plenty of opportunities for students to bring scenes to life. Alongside Shakespeare, students connect his influence to major British authors such as Stevenson, Shelley, Tolkien, Austen, and Dickens. Short excerpts and guided comparisons help students see how themes, character types, and storytelling patterns echo across centuries without overwhelming them with full novels.

Film clips from classic and modern Shakespeare adaptations keep the course lively and visual. Students compare how directors update scenes, shift tone, and reinterpret characters in versions of Hamlet, Macbeth, Romeo + Juliet, Much Ado About Nothing, The Taming of the Shrew, Twelfth Night, Othello, King Lear, and The Tempest. Additional book and movie recommendations are offered at parent discretion for families who want to explore further.

Writing is short, creative, and confidence building. Students craft Shakespeare style burns, rewrite scenes in modern language, and complete brief analytical pieces that help them understand how writers use words to shape meaning. By the end of the semester, students will feel comfortable navigating Shakespeare’s world, spotting his influence across British literature and film, and expressing their ideas with clarity and creativity. Most importantly, they’ll discover that classic literature can be fast paced, funny, dramatic, and genuinely enjoyable.
