GEOGRAPHY & HISTORY

History 4th-6th - Mistie Angelo

History – 4^th-6^th – Mistie Angelo

The Story of the World is the curriculum used for this class. So, you will need to purchase Volume 1: Ancient Times and Volume 2: The Middle Ages. 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 by 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, 2023 (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:

Write 9 post-dated checks to be cashed at the first of the month (August 2023-April 2024)
Pay for the entire year.
Pay with 2 post-dated checks for each semester (1^st semester dated July 1 and 2^nd semester dated Dec. 1, 2023).

All post-dated checks must be received before the 1^st day of class (preferably the day of orientation). No refunds will be given for canceling the class after July 1st.
