This is a block of 2 classes.

Geography:
This session, Take 2 students will be learning about the United States’ journey to become a unified nation. Our 50 States is a one-year American geography course from Notgrass History. As they study Our 50 States, students will complete their own consumable Atlas Workbook (included in tuition). For each state, they will illustrate one geographic term that relates to that state and will also complete map activities to reinforce what they have learned about that state. Students will use the information that they have learned to create and present travel brochures, state projects, and more to the group during public speaking exercises. Our winter session will wrap up New York State history and begin a study of the mid-Atlantic states.
Artist Study: Profiles in Art
Using a variety of resources, including Blossom And Root Level 5 art, we will learn about the works, lives, and times of multiple artists. We’ll discuss and analyze their famous works, then use a variety of art mediums each week to explore an art prompt inspired by that week’s artist. The winter session will include Beatrix Potter, Edmonia Lewis, and Guan Daosheng.
