History – 4th-6th – Mistie Angelo

 The Story of the World is the curriculum used for this class. So, you will need to purchase Volume 2: The Middle Ages and Volume 3: Early Modern Times. We will be starting right where we left off this past year. Having said that, if your child did not take this class the previous year, he or she will be able to pick up right where we start at because the topics will continue to rotate over a three-year schedule. 

 Class time will consist of a short PowerPoint presentation with video clips, group discussion, an interactive notebook, followed up with either a craft or game. Homework will be to read one or two short chapters, answer chapter questions, and complete chapter maps. 

 This is not a graded class, but I do go over all homework and make any corrections needed.  

  A supply list will be available in July. There will be a $25.00 supply fee. The supply fee will cover all crafts and games. Classes will be $45.00 per month for ten months. 

 To register, please fill out the Training Center registration form and mail it along with your $70.00 ($45 for July + supply fee) payment dated July 1, 2024 (first tuition payment) and Aug. 1 payment. Once these items have been received, this will hold your child’s spot in the class.  

  The ONLY payment options for this class:  

  1. Write 10 post-dated checks to be cashed at the first of the month (July 1, 2024-April 1, 2025)
  2. Pay for the entire year. 
  3. Pay with 2 post-dated checks for each semester (1st semester dated July 1 and 2nd semester dated Dec. 1, 2023).
