COLONIAL CLASS TOWN - JOURNAL WRITING
Wednesdays 9:00-10:00am
TAUGHT BY: Ani Janbazian, We Spark Learning
WHERE: Excellence in Education Academy, Monrovia
TARGET: Grades 1-5.
COURSE DURATION: 1 year (two, 15 week semesters - Sept to Jan, and Feb to May)
COST PER SEMESTER : $225 (all materials provided)
+ $25 tuition for iLead, Inspire, Sage Oak, Sky Mountain and Excel Academy students
+$50 tuition using Homeschool Coaches for Gorman, Golden Valley, CA Enrichment Academy, Valiant Prep, and Compass Charter School.
Students become "neighbors" in a crazy Colonial Town they help create, where they will experience many events through the year including festivals, natural disasters, historic events, unbelievable mishaps and some silly celebrations! As each town event effects the residents, it will serve as the journal prompt for a creative writing assignment for the week.
"Swarms of bees overtook the town, and I..."
"The highlight of the festival was one daring performer who..."
"The wagon unhitched sending us barreling into the..."
Town residents will start by deciding what to name their town and decorating their own home and property. Each student will choose a historic job that will produce weekly earnings. They can use their income to save and upgrade their home, or buy or barter for additions to the property from the marketplace. Town residents will talk about and compare stories about the events of the week. Some drawing, crafts, prize games, and other creative expressions will also be incorporated throughout the year to fit our Colonial theme.
While the class will have some mini lessons on writing techniques, literary devices, figurative language, and poetry, our focus is not on the formal fundamentals of writing. The main goal of this class is to motivate kids to put pen to paper to write with enthusiasm and express their ideas in written form. Journal writing is done during class time, and journal expectations can be varied to adapt to different learning levels and abilities.

Charter School students must arrange for payment by requesting a P.O./Enrichment Certificate from their Education Specialist before classes begin.

Master Criminal Nina Pasadena is at it again! This time she is determined to capture America’s amazing landmarks to declare this nation the “United States of Nina Pasadena”
Join the Acme Detective Agency on the state-by-state hunt for super spy mastermind, Nina Pasadena. This time she is using puzzles, secret messages, invisible ink, locked cases, combination codes, and more to communicate with her henchmen about their missions. The henchmen will be under cover, disguising themselves as famous people from each state. If we identify and capture them, we can intercept their messages and decode their plans for the next targeted landmark!
Our investigations will include state nicknames, flags, symbols, major cities, significant sites, historical information and more. We will use books, atlases, encyclopedia, maps and other research materials to stop Nina in her tracks!
Agents will also be responsible for an Agent Special Assignment (aka- a short research paper, and drawing task to work on at home) about a specific state that is a suspected henchman hide-out. Agents will present their Special Assignment in front of the Acme team (oral presentation).
Will we catch Nina Pasadena? Join us on this Geography Adventure!
PLEASE NOTE: THIS VERY SAME CLASS WAS OFFERED IN 2015/16 at E.I.E. If you took this class at that time, stay tuned until next year when we will offer "Where in the World. is Nina Pasadena?"
