Writing with Kris Cordell Classes

Hello friends,

I am sending you some information about two classes that I am offering this spring. As you know, spring can be a challenging time to keep students engaged in their academic pursuits, so a small class just might provide the excitement and the accountability to end the school year strong.

Many of your students have already attended my classes, so you are quite familiar with the quality of instruction that is provided. It is important to understand that the classes which are being offered in the spring require much less homework that our typical literature-based writing classes. Students will be expected to complete 30-60 min. of homework each week for these spring classes. I love coming alongside parents and their children to provide opportunities to develop communication skills . . . especially writing! I want to make sure that you are aware of the immediate opportunities that you may pass on to your students so they may give our classes a try.

OPTION 1:

The online Basic Writing course level 1 will be starting next week. I will be offering a class for both younger students (4-7/8^th grade) and older students (high school and advanced 8^th grade). The exact days and times for these classes are still being determined based on the students who are interested in signing up. These are online course (using skype) which have many benefits: the convenience of sitting at home, a live teacher, a small group dynamic, the opportunity to learn how to navigate technology, etc. Perhaps surprisingly, students find these classes to be very enjoyable – not intense and stressful. Something about having another teacher (who is extremely friendly) and just a few other students works well for nearly all students.

The cost for this class is $80, and of course your charter funds will cover the expense. In addition, this class is a prerequisite for all other online courses that will be offered in the future. For more information, you may want to take a look at my website: www.writingwithkris.com. Also, feel free to send me an email or give me a call anytime (916-725-6473)..

OPTION 2:

I am also offering a POETRY writing class this spring (description attached), and your students are welcome to attend this class. If you are interested in either of these classes, simply reply to this email to let me know. You will find details for the poetry class here:

Hello friends,

I have a wonderful opportunity for your children this spring! Last year, I offered a narrative writing class in the spring, and this year, I am offering a POETRY class! This is going to be soooo fun for your children. Attached you will find a description of the class, and here are some additional important details about this class:

Begins April 4 / Ends May 2

The class will be geared for upper elementary age students, but both younger (3^rd) and older (7/8^th) students are welcome to join the class. Also, send me an email and let me know if you have a high school student who would also love to take a poetry class . . . we’ll see what we can do to provide the teaching.

Location: Orangevale First Baptist Church (8998 Central Ave., Orangevale)

Time: Wednesdays from 9:30-11:30

Cost: $100 per student (charter funds accepted)

No prerequisites required . . . so come and bring a friend!

If you would like to sign your child up for this class, simply reply to this email with the following information:

Child’s name and grade

Your name, email, and phone number

Payment method (private pay or specific charter)

Why don’t you plan to end the school year with a fun writing experience for your children? Be sure to let me know if you have any questions..

Partnering with you,

Kris Cordell

Love of Learning Summer Camps

· Crazy Fun Math 2-5 grade July 9-13

· Jump-Start Your Brains for School 3-6 grade July 30-Aug 3

Creative Writing - We will write an original play and perform it, make our own board games, eat our way through poetry, attend spy school, and build our own countries.

Crazy Fun Math - We will explore math in fun new ways! Lots of games, brain benders and manipulatives; we will be having so much fun that no one will even realize they are learning.

Jump-Start Your Brains for School - We will get our brains ready for school through fun games and activities. We will review math facts through games, language arts through short stories and fun grammar lessons, plus messy science projects you wouldn’t want to clean up at your own house.

Sarah is a mother to 3 and runs a learning center during the school year. She has taught Creative Writing for 10 years. She also teaches English from the Roots Up, Logic and Reasoning, and Entrepreneurship.

Brennan just graduated from high school and is on her way to Southern Virginia University this fall. Brennan has taught violin and piano lessons as well as acted in several plays and helped direct Placer Elementary School’s play Beauty and the Beast.

If any of these sound like a camp your child would enjoy, don’t wait to sign up as we will only take 6 children per session. These will be held at the Bailey's home in Loomis.

Each camp is just $200. If you sign up and pay before April 30th, you get the early bird special of $175.

Sombrero Time Summer Camp

Our most popular Summer Camp is...K-3 Beginner Camp!
info@sombrerotime.com
Surprised? Here's why:

For young children language learning is fun and easy. Kids naturally let a new languages "wash over" them, free from the syntax, punctuation and sentence structure questions that commonly hang up more "enlightened" (older) students.

What's more, kids really enjoy the experience because Sombrero Time teachers carefully craft each minute to make the most of your child's natural capacity to learn.

Kids learn so easily they might even teach you a bit of Spanish!

When Neil, one of our Summer Camp students, was asked about his favorite part of the summer, he said, "You get to learn Spanish and then teach your parents!”

Each week campers experience new thematic adventures that inspire them to engage Spanish. Expect your child to come away with a new appreciation of Latin & Spanish culture, greater global awareness, new Spanish vocabulary, as well as new friends and great memories!

Summer Camp starts June 11. Reserve your spot today before camps fill.

¡Hasta pronto!

FYI-California homeschooling now have two legislative threats! Please read

California homeschoolers now have two legislative threats!

Assemblyman Medina and Assemblywoman Eggman each introduced bills of concern to homeschoolers this year, and CHN has been following both.

Medina’s AB 2756 “fire marshall” bill has received most of the publicity, but Eggman’s AB2926 has been watched carefully, and last night our worst fears were confirmed.

On the surface, Eggman’s AB2926 bill started as a nothing bill because just a few words were changed in existing ed code. And that’s why we monitored her bill so closely! Bills like this are known as “spot bills”. They are introduced by the deadline and are holding the spot so that the bill’s author can gut the bill and slip in something new. If you think that’s unethical, we would agree, but that’s what Assemblywoman Eggman did yesterday!

AB 2926 threatens the right to homeschool in California in a way that we’ve never seen!

This bill would establish an advisory committee that would make recommendations about the following:

“appropriateness and feasibility of imposing on a home school additional requirements, which shall include, but are not limited to, all of the following.”

(1) Health and safety inspections.
(2) Additional, specific curriculum standards.
(3) Certification or credentialing of teachers.

Opposing this dangerous bill is going to take the full force of the homeschooling community, regardless of how you homeschool. We think it will impact those enrolled in Charter Schools too.
