Heart to Heart Dear Moms, I believe your heart to home school is a calling from God to teach your children His ways. We all tend to worry about the academics and we should be concerned and diligently teach them to our chil-dren. However when you home school there is a very important element to your teaching that you shouldn’t leave out. Biblical wisdom is of utmost importance. Here are some of the main Biblical leaders and references to study with your children from the Life Application Study Bible: Joseph was a wise leader. His story begins in Genesis 37 / He practiced wisdom by preparing Egypt for a major famine. He helped rule Egypt Acts 7:10 Moses was a wise leader. His story begins in Exodus 2. Moses learned all the Egyptian wisdom then graduated to God’s lessons in wisdom to lead Israel out of Egypt. Acts 7:20-22 Joshua was a wise leader. His story begins in Joshua 1. Joshua learned by observing Moses, obeyed God, and led the people into the promised land. Deuteronomy 34:9 David was a wise leader. His story begins in 1 Samuel 16. David never let his failures keep him from the source of wisdom—reverence for God Daniel was a wise counselor. His story is in the book of Daniel. He was known as a man in touch with God. He was a solver of complex problems with God’s help. Dan. 5: 11, 12 Paul was a wise messenger. Paul wrote much of the New Testament Epistles. He spent his life com-municating God’s love to all who would listen 2 Peter 3:15-16 Christ is our Savior. He was first a wise youth who also possessed the wisdom of God. He not only lived a perfect life, but died on the cross to save us and make God’s wise plan of eternal life available to us. Luke 2:40, 52 1 Corinthians 1:20-25 God bless you all this New Year! I pray you grow in His love and stand firm on His truth! Marilyn

A Word to Fathers ~ Bill Stephens

Joe Fischer

Marilyn and I are grandparents. If you didn’t know that, then you haven’t talked to Marilyn for more than one minute. We are also grandparents to our homeschool community. Marilyn and I love to hear stories of how well our school graduates have done. We hear stories of college athletes, champion debaters, pro-life leaders, and on occasion, commentators on Fox News. I am as proud to have had Joe Fischer a part of our school. On Thanksgiving Day, Joe passed away after a three year battle with cancer. He was twenty-three years old. After listening to the eulogies by his pastor, mentor and uncle, one cannot help but be impressed by his accomplishments and impact. Joe was a part of our school for most of his life. He was an accomplished worship leader, song writer and artist. He was a natural leader and a dedicated Christian. Marilyn often talked about him and what an im-pressive young man he was. We are all familiar with the parable of the talents. If you translate talents into years then Joe made the best

of the few years he was given. I am sure that the same confidence that the Apostle Paul expressed was also

the confidence Joe possessed. Before Paul’s departure from the world he writes to Timothy, I have fought

the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of

righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day.”

Course Description: Welcome to Kindergarten where learning is FUN! We believe that children can love school and look forward to learning. In the kindergarten class this year, we will be using math, reading, science and game centers where the kids will do hands-on activities that help them re-member concepts. Arts and crafts, videos, songs, snacks and exercise will all be part of our morn-ing together. We will learn about Jesus and the Bible and the kids will play with their friends. The Kindergarten team looks forward to welcoming each child and helping them grow and develop throughout the year. It’s going to be a great one!

Explore literature through using active reading techniques that will engage students and exponentially increase their comprehension. During the week, students will interact with their reading assignment independently or in a family setting, then in class we will collaborate and discuss. Our goal will be to enrich our reading experience through understanding contexts that bring a deeper understanding of the author’s intent in the literature, as well as bring in our own personal contexts to help relate and connect to either the characters or the themes of the sto-ries.. The Lord can use all things- especially literature to teach us and to help us gain wisdom that can be applied to our own lives. To Him be the glory!

PE 6th to 8th Grade Chris Rix, head coach 8 weeks alternating with Shaun Dunn & Gideon Cheatwood, assistants Chris played varsity football, baseball and basketball at Bishop AMAT high school and Santa Margarita high school. He then received a full scholarship to play quarterback at Florida State. There he became the 1st and only 4 year starter at FSU and also graduated with a degree studying communications. Following his college career Chris went on to the NFL with the San Diego Chargers. He is now a Pastor and serves as the director of ministry for the Fellowship of Christian athletes. He is also the founder and head coach of the Champion Training Academy here in Southern California, helping train athletes in all sports and all ages.

My name is Shaun Dunn, and I am a senior in High School with WCPSP. Since I was a kid, I’ve always preferred running around outside and getting muddy and dirty, riding dirt-bikes, four-wheelers, or playing war, to staying inside and playing video games, board games, etc. I want to share my passion with others- ignite a fire that is inside of everyone, and show your kids why God created us so complex. I want your kids to grow stronger physically, mentally, and spiritually, but most im-portantly, have fun this year. God created the outdoors for a reason. Not to just be admired from a distance, but to get up close and personal with it, to grow stronger in our faith, and our fitness. Being fit will allow all of us to enjoy God’s creation more, and experience the wonders of it. Your kids will be able to test their limits, and sprout new hobbies. My hope is that your children will understand that life is not confined to the house, apartment, condo, etc. Life is meant to be experienced to it’s fullest! “Fitness is not about being better than someone else, it’s about being better than you used to be.” (UNK)

Hi, my name is Gideon. I have been homeschooled for nine years now. I am a sophomore in High school and am an aspiring fireman. Get ready for fun games and excellent workouts while I am coaching you!

Literary Circles (Optional Class for 6th—8th grade) Time: 12:30—2 pm

Students will regularly participate in student led literature circles to discuss their novels. The history segment of the class will study the history during the time of the novel being read.

Instructor: Felicite Badillo ~ Felicite Badillo has been fortunate enough to live, teach, and homeschool in a variety of places

including Oregon, Texas, Arkansas, New Mexico, Arizona, Florida, and now sunny southern California. After earning her

bachelor’s degree in secondary education with an endorsement in English from Western Oregon University, she taught mid-

dle school language arts and history in the classroom for five years. She became a homeschool mom when her oldest child

was in the first grade and currently homeschools her three children ages 4 to 13. As a homeschooling mom, Felicite has dug

up an ant hill (and gotten bit!) to observe what happens inside, found and identified various types of shells on the beach, fed a

stingray, allowed her son to have a pet snail, read aloud many, many historical fiction novels, made soap, and dissected a

flower…all in the name of education. She has a love for middle school students and is really excited to be back in the class-

room teaching them literature and history.

Tips for Preparing Your Student for College

Having a high school diploma is important but it doesn’t guarantee that you will be able to get

into college. It can be a difficult process these days. Here are 12 tips/suggestions for students

considering college entrance:

1. Plan ahead. When you know what college you want to go to, go to their website to make

sure that you are taking the courses that they recommend.

2. Align your course titles with those of Western Christian so that the colleges will recognize

what you have been doing.

3. Check the Western Christian website to see what courses CSU and UC want you to take.

4. Check these websites for more information about how to get into college as a homeschool-

er: Look at https://secure.californiacolleges.edu/College Planning/Prepare for College/

Home Schooling.aspx and http://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/freshman/

homeschool/index.html (or google “How do homeschoolers get into college?”).

5. Be involved in the community so that you can talk about your experiences and the ways

that you have made a difference to people. Colleges want smart and academic students,

but they also want people who can change the world for the better.

6. Find out what you do well, do it, and learn how to write about it. Colleges are looking for

you to explain to them why you are “head and shoulders better” than the others who are

also applying to college.

7. Take the tests. Take the SAT. Take the ACT. Take the SAT II subject tests. Find objec-

tive ways to prove that you are who you say you are. Test taking is a learned skill. Prac-

tice, practice, practice.

8. Take AP courses and their corresponding tests.

9. Take some community college courses or enroll in the part-time program at Western

Christian. This is another way to show that you are as good a student as your mother

thinks you are.

10. Make sure that you have all the courses that Western Christian requires for a diploma.

11. Most importantly, pray for God to go before you in this whole process.

12. Remember that it is hard to get into many college programs today, so you should have

several options. Don’t put all your hopes and dreams into one program unless you have

figured out several ways to get there.

High School Biology Biology is most exciting (and most truthful) when it is taught and learned in the context of our awesome Creator. His creation certainly reflects the majesty, wisdom, and power of God. Unfortunately, secular science is often taught in such a way as to become a stumbling block to the development of our faith. Science can instead be a stepping-stone to faith – the evidence for design is everywhere, especially in Biology! This course is taught with a Creation perspective. We will use the Apologia book, “Exploring Creation with Biology”. Topics include the five kingdoms of life, the chemistry of life, cell structure and function, genetics, ecology, evolution (as a theory), as well as plant, animal, and human biology. Each week we will have a one-hour lecture/discussion period (generally using PowerPoint slides), followed by a one-hour lab. Course Fee: $300/semester, plus enrollment fee, $30 Instructor: Matthew H. Sanders, matthensan@gmail.com or (626) 244-5462 Matthew has a MS in Biology from the Institute for Creation Research. He is currently an adjunct professor at Azusa Pacific University. Matthew has taught high school chemistry and physics with the EIE home school program in Monro-via, CA. He has also taught at Christbridge Academy in Azusa, CA; AP Biology, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, US His-tory, Government, Economics, and Personal Values/Bible classes. Matthew created and taught a science course for the Upward Bound program at Cal Poly Pomona. see www.mattsanders.info for more information

HIGH SCHOOL CHEMISTRY This course provides a rigorous foundation in chemistry in preparation for college-level chemistry. Topics covered in-clude significant figures, units, classification, the mole concept, stoichiometry, thermochemistry, thermodynamics, kinet-ics, acids and bases, redox reactions, solutions, atomic structure, Lewis structures, molecular geometry, the gas laws, and equilibrium. The lab period will alternate between Chemistry labs and a math tutoring time. Students often have difficultly under-standing the math that goes with each chapter, so we will focus on that every other week. We will still do at least one lab with each chapter. We will spend approximately two weeks on each chapter. Students will be given pages to read each day at home, and questions to answer. Short quizzes will be given for each chapter online. Mr. Sanders is always available by phone or email, and is happy to answer any questions or concerns that arise. These are available as a set from Berean Builders Pub. for $65.

US AMERICAN HISTORY Grades 10-11 American History is so fascinating, and throughout this class you will develop a deeper understanding and appreciation for what makes this nation great, and what sets it apart from the rest of the world. From Native American society through modern America, students will address both the workings of God and the shortcomings of humanity in the for-mation and progression of America. Students will gain an appreciation of the providence of God in the development of a country based on Biblical principles and events that have shaped America’s history. Students discuss geography, poli-tics, economics, and current events to formulate reasoned Christian viewpoints on issues of contemporary society. The class will be enhanced through historically based DVD’s, mini debates and speeches, dramatic reading as well as games to help you prepare for quizzes. The hope is that history will become so much more than just words in a textbook. Dur-ing the class we will occasionally use art projects to enrich the study of America’s past, and a few basic art mediums will be needed.

PRE-ALGEBRA (Grades 7-9ish) - THIS CLASS BEING OFFERED IN POMONA Text: Pre-Algebra, BJU Press Student hardback TO BE DETERMINED OR student softback T.E.—TO BE DETERMINED - (2 VOLUMES!!)

This is a full year course. Will cover skills required to proceed into High School Algebra, and students completing it will be WELL PREPARED for Algebra 1. **I get asked often, which math should my Jr Higher be doing?” If your student does a decent job (80% average) on basic mathematics, especially multiplication & division, and maybe ok on fractions, he/she should take Pre-Algebra. The current “fashionable” trend in education these days (public and private) is that stu-dents should take Algebra I in 8th grade, which would mean Pre-Alg in 7th. This works for some, and is (in my opinion) a GRAVE mistake for a lot of others! According to Bob Jones, this is an 8th grade curriculum. This class is available, as well, to High School students who require additional work on the basics! Call me if you need to talk about any of this! Starts right out working with equations, covering properties of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Will move into decimals, integers, multiples, factors, fractions, equations and inequalities, ratio, proportion, percentages, ge-ometry and graphing. Emphasis through entire text is on equations and solving them, using all the mathematical concepts introduced. These basic skills would be prerequisite for an Algebra course. Students will learn concepts in class, and then complete daily assignments at home. TEACHER’S EDITION REQUIRED - daily homework to be corrected by parent and/or student.

US History

My goal is to make the study of American history as interesting, interactive and relevant to the modern world. The course is intended to stretch one’s mind and challenge assumptions while examining the major events in US history. It will extend into the contemporary United States and how American history has an impact on current world issues such as globalization, economic interdependence and terrorism. Current events are integrated into the curriculum so that students can see modern connections between the past, present, and possible future scenarios and enhance their full understanding of US history while contributing to a deeper understanding of the Founding Father’s original intent. “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the blood-stream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.” -Ronald Regan, 40th President of the United States Teacher: Michael Bunda, BA Organizational Management, Financial Planner and avid Historian.

Apologetics/Worldviews

Can God be tempted? Are there really contradictions in the Bible, and can it be relied upon for historical

accuracy? What is scriptural authority; does it matter? How does a skeptical world impact your view? Peo-

ple too often focus on what seem like contradictions or errors in the bible, then use them to create doubt in

the minds of believers. The Bible is increasingly under attack from every direction and believers have to

KNOW what they believe in order to defend their faith. Whether secular scholars or those trying to tie in

evolutionary concepts to match origin explanations that are not Biblical, the accuracy and relevance of the

Bible is at question. Students will learn important details that can strengthen your confidence in the Bible’s

inerrant nature. Discover how the Bible proves itself and the insights you will need to strengthen your faith

and defend God’s Word! Homeschool Curriculum was created and designed to train high school students

in the ultimate authority of the Bible. Apologetics in Action, Volumes 1 & 2 of Demolishing Supposed Bible
