Frontier Skills
Tuesdays 10:00 - 11:30 am
Description: In this class, we will pretend to be pioneers traveling across the United States to a new land in the West. There are many skills that we will learn to help us on our journey. We will also work together as a team and make decisions about our journey using listening skills and good communication. One of the activities will be recycling rags into rugs. The pioneers could not let anything go to waste. Please wear clothes that can get messy.
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.
