therefore making people who study it "grossologists".
Our class of grossologists will study the vile and wonderfully
disgusting elements of life. Stinky stuff, slimy stuff, smelly
stuff, crusty stuff and oozy stuff....Bring it on! The class
is an extensive and intensive time full of wonder. The highlights
are endless...see the fascinating innards of God's creation.
This is a lab class. Hands-on activities include, but are not
limited to, some of the following: Blood testing, making fake
blood, edible poop, yummy fake snot, assessing one's lung volume,

The
Founding of Our Great Nation
Instructor:
Ann Martin
The
book, The Light and The Glory For Children by
Peter Marshall asks the question:
"How
can my younger children start learning about America's
Christian heritage?"
Let's take
a trip back in time! We will study the founding of our great
nation in a hands-on manner. Children ages five to eight
might begin at the side of Christopher Columbus as he works
on his maps. They could have a canoe adventure down the Mississippi
with Father Marquette, or decide what to take to the New
World on the Mayflower. They might even assemble their own
colonial house. Crayons, pencils, and an eager mind turn
these activities, pictures to color, and simple word games
into a window on God's grand work in the North American wilderness.
Ages
4-8
