Hi! I am the new HedFex Membership Liaison. Here is a photo of myself, my spouse, and my homeschooled Princess Ember. Please respond with your child's/children's favorite class, whether taught at home or in co-op. I'll go first in the comments.

Art thru the Ages!

This spring we will begin by exploring Medieval Art through designing and making beautiful paper mosaics. Then we will study Middle Eastern art, designs and calligraphy. The students will learn from more modern artists and build creative cardboard tube art and make 3D paper-mache animals. After studying butterflies and beetles the students will learn drawing techniques and draw insects. Each student will paint their own detailed color wheel, understanding primary, secondary and tertiary colors and how to mix any color you can imagine! Lastly the students will study comics, then design their own with writing and images.

Language Sprout provides quality world language instruction to all ages, with a focus on our youngest learners.

Our classes are taught with a progressive curriculum that grows with your child. Language Sprout classes are designed for your child to build a solid language foundation using our own materials designed for every learner.

We designed our classes including a depth of materials to allow students to choose what sparks their interests while guiding them to language learning successfully. Each class will vary from the other and will guide them through our different levels of language learning while using our workbooks, control mats, flash cards and more.

Come and get to know your fellow Hedfexers through game play! Each week will have a different theme be it puzzle games, strategy, quick play, or cooperation, but the real focus will be getting to know each other, good sportsmanship, and fun!
