During the second semester, we will explore health promotion and disease prevention, from an individual and scientific perspective, as students gain the opportunity to investigate health sciences professions. Lab work will begin during semester #2 and will be focused upon the performance of procedures including first aid, suturing and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for infants, children and adults.

This class is designed to introduce students to the skills that are necessary to communicate effectively on a public platform. Classroom instruction and exercises will encourage students to learn how to speak with clarity and confidence. To achieve this goal, students will be asked to analyze, study, learn, and practice the skills that are necessary to become effective public speakers. Classwork and homework will require students to write and deliver speeches, read Bible passages aloud, make and present visual and demonstrative presentations, and provide constructive criticism of their peers as they refine their skills at the podium.

Pre-Requisites: Students must have basic writing skills and a desire to become more confident public speakers.

DESCRIPTION:

German I in high school is designed to give students a basic introduction to the four components of learning a world language- speaking, reading, writing, and listening.  Since level 1 is at the beginning, no prior knowledge of the language is assumed.  We will learn basic conversational vocabulary and phrases and move throughout the year learning how to communicate at the basic level in the German language.  Students will learn how to order food in a café, how to shop for clothes, and how to describe themselves and the people they know.  Grammar will be learned at a steady pace, for the purpose of furthering communication in the language.

Colleges require a minimum of 2 years of the same language for admissions to college.

Teacher: David Lovin

Before registering for class, a placement test must be taken by all students who have not previously taken a HARC math class.  The test is to ensure that your student is in the best class for their abilities.  Since the registration fee is non-refundable, we recommend that you wait to register until after taking the test and receiving approval. If you want to lock in a spot prior to taking the test, you may do so, but please remember that you will not receive a refund if your child fails the test.

Course Description:

Would you like to take the fear out of algebra and assure your child is well prepared for high school math?  Pre-algebra is the place to make that happen.  In this class we will briefly review important math skills and then move directly into basic algebra skills and concepts. Basic algebraic concepts will be introduced concretely through Dr. Borensen’s Hands on Equations program.  (see instructor’s Vimeo)

It is important that students are competent in the use of decimals, fractions, percents, and integers.  These concepts will be reviewed as we begin the year but will not be taught thoroughly as in earlier grades.  Topics we will cover throughout the year include operations with real numbers, algebraic expressions, algebraic equations and inequalities, ratios, proportions, percents, functions and linear equations, probability, and statistics.  Real life problems will be integrated into the program to give purpose and meaning to what students learn.
