Description coming soon! |
| Grades 3rd-6th - REAL Science Physics Class | |
| |
RSO Physics (level one) is appropriate for 3rd through 6th grade. This comprehensive course presents complicated physics concepts in a way that young people can comprehend and immediately apply to everyday play and work. Topics covered include the study of matter, motion, friction, work, sound and wave, magnetism, electricity, and even a glimpse into the quantum world. Students will not only learn Newton’s three laws of motion, but they will experiment with them and develop simple models of real-world applications such as rockets, auto safety, and electric motors. The course book offers a full-year curriculum, including all of the lesson pages, parent/teacher instructions, and lab worksheets. |
| Grades K-6th - Music Appreciation |
|
 |
The Music Appreciation class will use the SQUILT (Super Quiet Uninterrupted Listening Time) curriculum to explore the different orchestra instruments, various composers and select musical pieces. We will focus on Baroque era music as we go through the year. Class time will be spent listening to music, note booking (the ability to write is not required) and playing games. Additionally, some class time will include using simple percussion instruments to explore the concepts of rhythm, tempo, dynamics, etc. With the exception of a pen or pencil, there are no materials required for this class. |
| Grades K-6th - Spanish | |
 |
Immersion-style Spanish class. Children will learn new words and phrases through songs, stories, and craft activities in Spanish. Immersion-style classes are great for learners at all skill levels, allowing advanced students to hear full conversation and read-aloud stories while enabling beginning students to learn from the ground up through context, pictures, songs, and activities. No prior Spanish exposure is necessary but great if your child does have some! This class may be more suitable for K-4th grades, but 5th & 6th graders are welcome to give it a try if they have an interest in learning Spanish. |
|
Grades K-6th - Book Club
|
|
 |
The book club will read two books this year. Each student will be required to read, or have listened to the chapters for each class at home. At co-op, we will engage with the story through hands-on activities, cooperative learning activities, and cross-curriculum connections. First semester: Misty of Chincoteague Second semester: Stuart Little |
|
Grades 7th-12th - High School Health
|
|
 |
Exploring Creation with Health and Nutrition covers what maturing students need to know to help them make the best choices they can for themselves as they become young adults. Health is about stewardship: managing what you have as well as you can. This 15-module course, which includes both a hardcover textbook and a spiral bound notebook, covers the physical, nutritional, emotional, and spiritual aspects of growing into a healthy adult. (Textbook & Notebook required.) The answer key is included in the Book Extras online. This course is for high school credit. |

The WHE Co-op only runs 14 times per year. We come together for labs and classes that enhance your homeschool experience. Our schedule means less time commitment, yet it still allows for structured classes with a group of peers. We also have set up our day to allow for plenty of social time for parents and children. Our classes are run by homeschool parents which keeps our costs down. We require parents to volunteer in some capacity so everyone feels connected as part of the team. We hope you will consider our group for your family!
PARENT INVOLVEMENT
Cooperative is defined as involving mutual assistance in working toward a common goal: every member has clearly defined tasks in a cooperative enterprise.
WHE requires parents in our co-op to fill a Cooperative Assignment Position (CAP). These positions could include, but are not limited to: classroom helper, nursery, hall monitor, or set up/clean up. Parents will be required to serve in some capacity. Parents should be flexible to work in various roles within the group to assure our day runs efficiently.
