We are excited to announce that Registration for the 2020 Fall Session is now open! As you are likely aware, due to COVID19 state and local mandates, WLR is currently offering virtual learning programs. In the future, we may add outdoor programming as mandates are eased and/or lifted. As always, we aim to bring you high quality programs along with flexibility. You can choose from 3 main types of of programs: Our Family Programs focus on arts and crafts such as Watercolor Painting, Geometric Crocheting, Song & Movement and Clay Animals. Offered via Ruzuku, a very easy to use online platform, these programs allow more than one student from the same family to learn together. Parents may choose to view the programs with (or without) their student(s) to assist as needed. The programs include video lessons along with written material and graphics. Once WLR receives your payment or P.O./voucher, you will be emailed a link to the chosen program(s) that will remain available for a minimum of 8 weeks. Each class includes 5 separate lessons, taking approximately 50 minutes to complete. But again! You can review each lesson as often as needed while the link is live. WLR Family Programs are taught by Dr. Rick and Jennifer Tan. Our Individual Programs focus on academics, and in most cases, with art integrated into the class. Offered via Zoom, these classes allow for students to interact with the instructor and like an in-person class, meet at specific times. To facilitate an enjoyable and effective experience for all, parents will be required to either view an Orientation video or attend a Zoom Orientation (of approximately 30 minutes) prior to their students' participation in class. Mr. Huff will be teaching California Geography, California History and a customized Math practice program via Zoom. The first class meeting with Mr. Huff is September 10th. Ms. Sandi will teach Grammar Through Story & Art and Lady Bird Johnson's Wildflowers via Zoom. The first class meeting with Ms. Sandi is September 11th for the Grammar class which meets 2x/week. The Lady Bird Johnson class is on Thursdays and begins September 17th. In addition, Ms. Sandi is offering discounted Homeschool Student rates for her ongoing yoga classes. These classes are the perfect introduction to yoga for ages 12+ as they give detailed instruction on the basics including breath awareness, safety and attention to body mechanics / form. Regular yoga practice teaches students life-long skills to help reduce stress and release tension as well as building self-awareness. Homeschooling parents can also receive discounts on these classes which are offered via Zoom 5x/week. Contact Sandi for more information. To learn more about our Online Programs, click here.

![]() As mentioned in the last post, WLR will be offering both online flexible Family Programs via Ruzuku as well as set-time classes for individual students via Zoom. Family Programs are taught by Dr. and Mrs. Tan, our Davis teachers, and will include:
Our Zoom classes will be held at set times and students will be able to interact with the teacher during class. To ensure maximum benefit for all students, please note the following:
![]() The three classes below will be taught by Mr. Huff and are recommended for Grades 4-8. They can be taken individually or as a group and will be offered on Thursday mornings. Session A will run for 5 weeks as will Session B; choose either or both sessions. Similar to last year, students will bring their own Math materials (workbooks, text books, etc.) to the Math session which will include one-on-one time with Mr. Huff to meet individual student needs.
![]() The two classes below will be taught by Ms. Russi and are recommended for Grades 1-4.
In “Lady Bird Johnson's Wildflowers,” students will learn about First Lady, “Lady Bird Johnson” and how her love of wildflowers helped bring beauty to American highways. This integrated class includes history, language arts, natural and environmental sciences and includes themes of nature, women in history, and conservation. Students will be engaged through story, drawing, writing, and other activities according to individual skill level. Stay posted for more information on the above programs coming soon! You may wish to join the mailing list to be notified when we open Registration within the next week or so.
![]() So much has changed! And here at WLR, we are learning to adapt and change with the current public health concerns regarding COVID19. Like so many of our families, we enjoy and value our in-person programs for all the richness and variety they bring, along with the social engagement opportunities students receive during the course of the day. However, due to recent mandates, and continually changing information, at this time, we are shifting all programs to virtual learning. Once mandates are lightened again, we are keeping our hearts and minds open for possible Outdoor Education programs this fall. Please stay posted for updates by joining the WLR mailing list. Our Online Program options will be published soon! We will offer both Zoom classes that meet at specific times and offer live-time interaction with instructor and fellow students, as well as virtual "family style" programs that can be accessed at any time the family desires and enjoyed by multiple students. |
