Math
Ms. Elspeth Allen
Since we have multiple grade levels and differing levels of mastery in math, Green Room students work on math individually. If you don't already have a preferred math curriculum, we recommend a Saxon math book paired with the NicoletheMathLady.com online instructor. This allows the student to have a physical book to work from as well as an online instructor that the student can view at any time and at their own pace. They can work from this at home and in the classroom. While in the classroom, the teacher will be there to help ensure they are on task and help answering any questions the students may have. Using Nicole the Math Lady will require the use of some type of internet linked device. The cost of this program is included in the cost of the class. Go to nicolethemathlady.com for placement tests and to find out the correct books to order. We know that Saxon does not fit every child's preferred learning style so, if you would like your student to use a different math curriculum during classroom math time, please make sure that you send the classwork with your student and clearly indicate to the teacher what you'd like the student to work on. Math time is for an hour each class day.

Elementary Art
(Grades K - 5)
Mrs. Olivia Maiorano
Tuesdays 1 - 3 pm
In this course, students will explore their creativity through unique and engaging lessons that teach the principles of art and design. Art is crucial for young minds. It teaches them pattern recognition, fine motor skills, and learning to appreciate the world around them, among other things. Through projects that guide them through the color wheel by including things they love, to Chinese vase paintings that help them identify patterns, design, and symmetry. We will also study some artists and learn about their style and techniques, and create our own projects inspired by them. For example, for one lesson, we will learn about Eric Carle (the author and illustrator of The Very Hungry Caterpillar) and his unique approach to collage and color, and create our own hungry caterpillars and butterflies. Each project will be graded on a 4-point system with 5-6 different categories depending on the lesson. Creating a standard, no matter the skill, and providing structure and clear pathways for growth. Here are some basic categories for the grading system that will be in place: Following directions, effort & participation, craftsmanship, creativity & original Idea, use of art concepts, and clean up & behavior. Each class will start with a 5-10 minute drawing prompt to warm up their imaginations, then we will ease into the lesson of the day. Bio: Olivia Maiorano is a born and raised Alaskan living in Chugiak with her husband and baby boy. She is a local artist, running her own small business for over 4 years. Throughout her academic career, she tutored fellow classmates and younger students, with a passion to see them succeed. She grew up doing a mix of homeschooling and public schooling and understands the value of a classroom and the benefits of a personalized education.

In this course, students will explore their creativity through unique and engaging lessons that teach the principles of art and design. Art is crucial for young minds. But why is learning art important? It helps us to appreciate and understand the world around us. It practices foundational skills for other core subjects. It exercises critical thinking and teamwork through group projects and healthy critique. It also creates an outlet to express and explore oneself and one's identity. Students will learn the elements of art and design through various projects and lessons. Each class will start with a 5-10 minute drawing prompt to warm up their imaginations, then we will ease into the lesson of the day. Some lessons will be: collage recreations of the masters, studying their styles and techniques, 3D cardboard creations, and composition paintings. Each project will also be graded on a 4-point system with 5-6 different categories depending on the lesson. Creating a standard, no matter the skill, and providing structure and clear pathways for growth. Here are some basic categories for the grading system that will be in place: Understanding & application of elements & principles, technical skill/craftsmanship, creativity & originality, composition & design, effort, time management & process, and following project requirements.

Leigh Sloan, the instructor, will also include a complementary coaching session with the students and parent(s) if desired toward the end of the course. The course is half-price ($100) when you sign up with the Green Room and recieve a coupon code. (Note: charter schools may not be billed for this course.) Video sessions are a brief 15-20 minutes each with journaling assignments to be done on their own or with a partner.

We recommend students completing it at least once throughout their high school years. Buy once and go through it each year if you'd like. Some students may be ready to complete it in middle school. Students will develop: - Understanding of who God is and how he sees them. - Realization of their unique gifts and design. - Emotionally healthy ways of relating to God and others. - Tools that will help them lead themselves and others well. Students start out life light-years ahead of their peers and even many adults on understanding their passions and life purpose. Leigh Sloan is an author, minister, life-coach, and consultant.
