Draw Write Now

Teacher: Morgan A.

Draw Write Now is a drawing and handwriting course rolled into one, as well as being very educational for your child. This book series has been around for 25 years and is loved by many homeschoolers.

Each lesson has four sentences of copywork for your child to complete about a various topic. Then, the child will follow step-by-step instructions on how to draw a picture relating to that topic. The idea is that when you write, you are using a lot of the same strokes as when you draw, so the two naturally go well together.

For example, if the lesson is about dogs, the child will have to copy a few sentences about dogs. Then they will follow simple instructions on how to draw a dog.

You child may draw and write about:

animals
nature
food
people
places
and many more different topics.
For each lesson, there is a beautiful illustration that will inspire your child as to how they can decorate the background of their picture. Or, your child can create and draw a background entirely their own.

Each lesson your child will be practicing their handwriting, learning how to draw something new, and learning facts about the topic, all at the same time.

Introduction to Computer Programming with Python

Teacher:  Brad A.

Course Overview and Goals
Introduction to Python Programming introduces students to the fundamentals of computer programming, with an emphasis on helping students develop logical thinking and problem-solving skills. Students begin by learning to design, code, and test their programs while applying mathematical concepts. Students then move to more advanced programming concepts and learn to create more powerful programs using functions, strings, data structures, file i/o operations, and objects.

Learning Environment: The course utilizes a blended classroom approach. The content is fully web-based, with students writing and running code in the browser. Lessons consist of video tutorials, short quizzes, example programs to explore, and written
programming exercises. We will abridge the content of this course to fit our Co-op schedule. With more materials than we can use there will be plenty of resources for students who want to develop more advanced programming skills.

Programming Environment: Students write and run Python programs in the browser using the CodeHS editor.

Technology Requirements: This course will require access to specific sites and tools listed in the linked google doc, each essential for course activities and assignments. More information: Browse the content of this course at https://codehs.com/course/21076/overview

Prerequisites: Introduction to Python Programming is designed for complete beginners with no previous background in computer science. I have a master's in software development and management and worked in the industry for many years. Python is great language for learning computer programming, yet robust enough to make it one of the most in demand languages used by software development companies, especially in the areas of data science, AI and machine learning. I still use it everyday.

Students will need a laptop with internet connection.   Learning will be cumulative. Students who miss classes will need to catch up. Students will need Algebra 1 skills.
