Called to Learn Academy 2023-24

God has always been consistent in his teachings throughout His Story. We are going to focus on His dealings with the descendants of Abraham, the Israelites. We will learn how they were chosen, delivered and how they set up their government system. We will see how their worship services and governmental system is the basis of our current constitutional government set up by those who were great students of the Old Testament.
We will learn about the influence of the Biblical Tabernacle throughout the history of the Jews and focus on the scattering of Israel and the prophets during that time.
We will discover God's hand in their lives and our own.

Music along with Math is a language of God. We use music to praise God, to pray, as a light that guides us home, but, as with everything, Satan has its counterfeit and uses music to destroy, confuse, and teach evil. In this class we will learn about the Principles of Music: Melody, Harmony, Rhythm and what Michael Ballam calls Love. For high quality of music, we must have all four.
We will experience all the elements of music: singing, instruments, music theory, movement, dance, performance, and applying the principles of music. We will focus on how the book of Psalms was used as hymns at the temple, in praise, and at home. 

We will be learning how to draw and label mathematical, physical, and political maps of North and South America. We will learn about the history of North American as we travel around the states and about the flora and the fauna in South America. Culture and traditions of these two countries will be our focus.

Art is a visual record of "His" story; God is the master artist and beauty is one of his attributes, just look at different flowers or the sunset. The Old Testament talks about the working and the craftsmanship of using stone and wood to create beautiful furniture. We will discuss and experience each of the elements of Art: color, value, space, shape, texture, and line and liken them to our lives. Each of the art forms: drawing, painting, sculpture, crafts, architecture, etc. will be used as well as many different mediums. The Egyptian, Etruscan, Ottoman, and Greek art works will be examined.  

Literature is learning and relationships with letters, books, dramas, poetry and classics. Good literature sings within us, we rejoice at how words form pictures and events within our minds. It leads us to understanding our own world and gives us hope for our future. Scripture is the highest form of literature on the earth.
Each year we read at least one book from each of the branches of literature: Scripture, Classics, Biography, Poetry, Drama, Culture, and Character Development.

America is a Land of Promise, not just a promised land. In this class we will learn about this Covenant Land and God's hand in the founding of this great nation. This class is for the entire family. We will use The Covenant Land curriculum as our guide. We will learn about the founding principles and people of our nation, the 28 principles of the Constitution and the Constitution itself, the inspired charter of freedom. 

The English Language is made up of several branches: orthography (sounds), etymology (words), syntax (sentences), prosody (poetry), prose (speech), and composition (complete works). We will review each of these and do a deep dive into syntax. We will break apart and diagram Book of Mormon verses as well as make up complex sentences for others to dissect.
What happens when people don't treat their language well, or loose their language… let's discover this too. 

Come learn the basics of American Sign Language and talk with your family from across the room. 🙂 

Math is the language God used to create the Universe. Math is the language of all sciences. Satan has separated math and made it independent of all other subjects. He has taken the beauty out of math and made it only about computations, measuring, time etc. God intended it to be intertwined in all things. In this class, we will take a walk through the numbers 1 through 12 and discover the characteristics of each number. We will discover God's plan of happiness within numbers and shape. We will go out in nature and see if we can understand the language of numbers in nature - discover what God wants to teach us. The computations of multiplications, division, fractions, decimals, and percents will be reviewed. (Math tutoring is available)
We will also take a look at Euclidian Geometry and the Natural Laws he discovered.

Our voices are fragile and powerful. Come and learn how to keep your voice strong and healthy. Plus, sing some great songs. 

The short definition of science is truth, God knows all truth, his omniscience (notice the word science in there) makes him the greatest scientist ever. Those that seek truth are also scientists or omniologists, studying all science together. In this course we will learn about the Clovis or Adamite people and how they used specific rock and great technology before the Nephites. We will begin using the Universal Model volume 2 and finish in the scriptures exploring how God uses plants, animals, and body parts to teach us truths.
