Cooking Class: Children of any age can help in the kitchen and learn culinary skills.  St Martha’s cooking lessons will be divided by age appropriate groups and skill level desired. Each child will learn basic kitchen tools, easy meal ideas and proper kitchen etiquette. We will provide a safe and fun environment to learn a lifelong skill. Each child should be able to come out of the class with a bit of knowledge of the culinary arts and maybe a chef in the making!!   Survival Skills: Essential survival skills for unexpected natural disasters, emergencies or waiting for search and rescue in the event of separation. Catechesis of the Good Shepherd: This is a Montessori based catechesis program where children are given the opportunity to work with practical life (pouring, flower arranging, scooping, etc.) and religious works (setting the model altar, liturgical calendar, parables, etc.)  that help the children build a relationship with God and be better able to participate during Mass. Art Class: This art class will begin with a picture study of a classic piece of work.  After the picture study the students will be given instruction on techniques, with various mediums, based on their age and skill level.  There will be multiple teachers in this class.  One will instruct the younger students while another instructs the older children.  Students can either register for a shorter 35 minute art class or extended 70 minute art class to allow extra time to work on honing their art skills. Saints Book Club: During this class the children will read and discuss a variety of saint biographies (novels). Classic Literature Book Discussion: The focus for this course is yet to be decided.  This course may focus on Tolkien, Jane Austen or various authors.  The book list will be decided based on registered students.
