Homesteading 101 Fall 2020
Teacher: Kim Bollman
Email: qtswede@gmail.com
Location: 4036 Thar. Rd., Coloma
Format: In Person
Grades 5-12
Homesteading
Sat. 10am-2pm
Classes begin Sept. 19
Description: This class will guide students through several lost arts that help to hone a more independent and self-reliant way of living. Several lost skills will be demonstrated and taught on how to make the most of a small plot of land. Fall classes will include: Beekeeping and honey harvest, pickling, canning, jam making, and preparing your garden for spring.
Syllabus
*Please note: it is important to make as informed a decision as possible when choosing your student's Community Resource classes. Most locations will allow a student to drop a class after one meeting, at no charge if it wasn't a good fit for the student, but not all. Some classes plan ahead based on the number that have signed up and have purchased materials, hired teachers, etc. and there might be a fee for class time or materials given to the student if the student drops after one or two meetings. The school cannot pay for classes that students do not complete, so choose wisely; if you do not take the class off of your student's schedule by the deadline, you may be asked to pay for the class time incurred prior to dropping the class.
