Traditionally, WLR programs "go on holiday" late November through December. Why? So that you and your family can focus on the traditions that create lasting memories for you and your children. Whether decorating, making gifts, baking, celebrating Advent, Hanukkah, Christmas or other festivals of Light, we are wishing you and yours a peaceful, healthy winter break. In the meantime, we are preparing our 2021 Winter-Spring Session. As COVID concerns and state and local mandates are still in effect, we will continue with online programming for the time being. Again, we will offer both Family Programs and Individual Programs. If you have not already done so, join the WLR mailing list to be to be notified when registration opens. Read on for a preview of what's coming! Family ProgramsMost of these programs are designed for grades K-8. These flexible classes allow you to engage in the program whenever it is most convenient for you and your children. Parents may choose to preview the program and bring the instructions directly to their children, minimizing screen exposure if desired. You can view the videos repeatedly if needed; PDF files with written instructions and graphics are also included. Perspective Drawing Perspective drawing allows an artist to create the illusion of depth as they transfer the space of our three dimensional world onto a flat, two dimensional medium. Renaissance architect Filippo Brunellschii is credited with devising the drawing technique of linear perspective. Leonardo da Vinci used perspective drawing on his painting of The Last Supper. In our five-lesson workshop, with paper, pencil, and ruler as your main tools, you will learn one-point, two-point, and three-point perspective drawing. Perspective drawing connects you and your point of view with the world around you. Instructor: Dr. Rick Tan Materials needed: paper, ruler, pencil Grades: best for Grades 6 through adult. Tunisian Crochet Learn the art of Tunisian Crochet! This online course is perfect for children and adults. No crochet or knitting experience necessary. Tunisian crochet is easier on the hands and wrists than traditional crochet and knitting; it is faster than knitting and uses a bit less yarn than traditional crochet. Instructor: Jennifer Tan, MA Supplies Needed:
Individual ProgramsBoth Mr. Huff and Ms. Russi will offer classes via Zoom at set times, helping your family to create and sustain an ongoing weekly rhythm. Mr. Huff's classes will include "A History of Time" -- an integrated program including mechanics, geography, history, social studies, and projects to make at home. Students will learn how we track time, from the seasons to microseconds as well as how time-keeping is connected to astronomy, how clocks work and how to build a sundial. Mr. Huff will also teach Astronomy. Students will explore the starry skies, the history of astronomy and the movement of the moon, planets and stars.
Both of Mr. Huff's classes will be taught on Thursday mornings. Similar to last year's in-person program that included an active morning circle, Ms. Russi will teach Movement & Story. This 45-minute class will include songs, verses and movement, followed by a story. Depending on students enrolled, some fun mental math may also be integrated. This class is designed for Grades 1-3, but you know your child best! So some kindergarteners and/or 4th graders may also enjoy and benefit from this class. Ms. Russi's program will likely be offered on Monday and Friday mornings, 10:30 - 11:15 a.m. Stay tuned for more information coming soon!

AuthorMy name is Sandi Russi. In 2002, I discovered the path of home education. When I dipped that first toe in the water, I never dreamed of all the discoveries it would lead to! Including the founding of Wholistic Learning Resources (WLR). Archives
