Honors Algebra 2 (Holt-Mcdougall) – Part 1

This class was designed with independent, self-paced, recorded learning in mind. As a classroom teacher of 25 years, I struggled watching homeschoolers get a week's worth of content condensed into a one-hour lesson (instead of five daily 1 hour lessons in a traditional classroom!).

Students will be able to watch video lessons providing an overview of the concepts that will be covered each week, download daily note sheets, then view individual videos walking them through the notes in a step-by-step fashion. To ensure mastery of concepts, students will complete homework assignments from the textbook and check them with complete, worked-out solutions. Each week students will have outcome assessments in the form of Moodle-based quizzes and tests. If you want the equivalent of a 5 day per week, classroom experience, this is the course for you!

Our Moral Life in Christ (Didache) Part One

So often we have a “hodgepodge” of information in our brain about our faith, instead of an organized knowledge of why we believe what we believe.

The goal of this course is to help students “organize” and add to their knowledge of the faith, as well as be able to see how the faith we profess in the pews each Sunday should extend beyond the Church building into everyday life – and to also see why that is so important in our lives and the lives of those that we encounter.
