¡Hasta pronto!

Student Corner: Summer Camp 

The students in our summer program varied from completely new students to advanced speakers. During our cinema-themed week, students wrote and acted in their own film!

LAST CHANCE! (Christian worldview) Book Discussion/10-14yrs/Auburn/$150

There are still a few spaces left in my upcoming class! - Michelle Potter

I want to invite you to join me this fall at Inspire Learning Academy on Dairy Rd. in Auburn. 
Beginning September 8th, I am leading a Book Discussion class for 10 - 14 year olds (+-), on Thursdays 2:30-3:30 pm.  

As we analyze character traits and moral values, students will facilitate classroom discussions within their rotating roles such as Illustrator, Minor Character, Setting, Internal Conflict, Point of View, Summarizer, Investigator, and Character Critic. 

Homework will include light chapter reading, and answering written comprehension and thought-provoking questions, some character and vocabulary words, and using forms as preparation to speak as part of their chosen rotating role.

A short quiz will be given upon the completion of our reading, and the class will choose one of the book's characters to put on trial during our last session. This is NOT a trial focusing on proper courtroom procedure, but is based on the book's content, the characters, and moral values. It may be necessary for students to do a little research to understand their role of Prosecutor, Defending Attorney, or Judge. Some costumes will be provided, but some attire may be found at home to wear to the trial.

You can see the class details, and learn more about Sir Malcolm and the Missing Prince, by Lamplighter Publishing at http://inspirelearningacademy.com/courses/course-details/?CourseID=5359.
Christian Book Distributors (CBD) has it on sale for the lowest that I've ever seen it.  Siblings can share a book. We may use the audio version in the classroom, but students need a hard print copy.

From the publisher's website: Young Prince Hubert is incorrigible, unmanageable, and tiresomely demanding. What is the good King to do? How will his selfish Prince ever learn to rule the kingdom well? His most trusted friend, Sir Malcolm, has a plan. Prince Hubert is swept away to a land where he is simply known as Hugh, a peasant boy. His silks are replaced with rough work clothes, his castle dwelling with a humble cottage. It is here that Hugh learns valuable life lessons from the widow of the forest.  

A minimum reading level is not a prerequisite, since this book is an excellent family read-aloud for all ages. The publisher recommends it for ages 6-11, but due to vocabulary from the Middle Ages for which the students will be responsible, and the level of homework and discussions, this class is appropriate for older students.

You can use this link to register:
Don't forget to hit the submit button at the bottom of page 7 to complete your form. You will then be directed to the payment page. If you are having trouble submitting your form or completing your payment, please contact reg@inspirelearningacademy.com. Payment plans are available if necessary. 

John Sutter & James Marshall / Calif Gold Rush / Auburn Library Noon Program / September 16th


“A Tale of Two Icons” will be the title of the first NOON Program of the fall on September 16, 2016.  Sierra College historian Gary Noy will present the sad history of John Sutter and James Marshall, two men who had the most to gain from the California Gold Rush but both died in poverty while yearning to regain their former glory. Gary Noy is the author of Sierra Stories: Tales of Dreamers, Schemers and Rogues

Kingdom Builder Books Fall Classes 2016

Hi Families!

I hope everyone had a great summer! It’s that time of year again and we are looking forward to the start of our Fall 2016 classes on Tuesday, September 6th.   

A couple of reminders:

Parking – Please if at all possible park in front of the store, if there isn’t room, please consider spots not in front of the other stores. (There have been verbal altercations with the bail bonds owner, please under no circumstances park in front of him)  We want to be good neighbors.  If you are dropping off JR/SR High students, the side of the building is a great place to do that without blocking parking spaces.

Students Waiting – Students will be asked to remain inside of the building until their ride arrives.  We don’t want students loitering in the parking lot for safety reasons.

Dress code – Please no tank tops, short shorts, or short dresses/skirts.

Books for Classes – Book requirements for the classes are listed on the Kingdom Builder Website under CLASSES.   http://www.kingdombuilderbooks.com/Classes.html

Class Dates to Remember http://www.kingdombuilderbooks.com/classdates.html  There is no class the week of November 21st  for Thanksgiving and no classes between December 19th and January 6st for Christmas/New Years.  The last week of classes for the Fall semester is January 16th.

Release Form – We do have a release form that needs to be filled out for each family.  They are available at the front desk or on our website http://www.kingdombuilderbooks.com/Classes.html

We would also like to remind you that any remaining payments on the classes are due the first day of class.  If you have any questions please feel free to call us at (916) 784-1717, or e-mail us at info@KingdomBuilderBooks.com
