Heart to Heart
Dear Moms, Welcome back to our school. My hope is that you are all trusting in God on a deeper level during these pandemic times. We are all wanting things to return to normal. However none of us knows when that will be. As I have been praying, it occurs to me our whole world has been turned upside down but we can make this a time where we draw closer to God and our family.
I was thinking of these scriptures for all of us to memorize: 1 Corinthians 16:13-14 Be on Guard. Stand firm in your faith. Be courageous. Be strong. Do everything
in Love Romans 5:3-5 We also rejoice in our suffering because we know that suffering produces perseverance,
perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.
Philippians 4:4-9 Rejoice in the Lord always and again I say rejoice. Let your gentleness be evident to
all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and petition, with thanksgiv-ing, present your requests to God. And the peace of God which transcends all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.
Our Apostle Paul was in prison when he wrote Philippians, but the letter is brimming with joy thinking
of the Christians in Philippi, He states this about them which I hope will be in all of you to begin your year of home schooling. 1. They are willing to suffer for Christ 2. They are unified and working together (Mom and Dad) 3. They put into perspective life’s bumps and bruises. ( Covid19, Stay at home orders, church closures,
school closures, masks) 4. God shows himself faithful in times of suffering.
So dear Moms and Dads here is a plan for you to start with: Be creative: Be kind, Be flexible,
7:00 Get up 7:30 Chores 8:00 Breakfast 8:30 Bible for all family available. Share insights 9:00 Math 10:00 Language Arts 11:00 Spelling 11:30 Break Lunch 1:00 Science, History 1:30 Reading time 2:00 end God bless you all,
Love, Marilyn

A Word to Fathers ~ By Bill Stephens
Clean as Dirt
In 2 Samuel chapter 6 is the story of David wanting to bring the stolen Ark back to Jerusalem. The Philistines, who had stolen the Ark had become sick with hemorrhoids (of all things) and thought the cause could be the Ark. They took cows that had just calved and harnessed them to a cart carrying the Ark. The scripture says that the cows went in the direction of Israel “lowing on the way.”
David and his men went to retrieve the Ark, a man named Uzzah placed his hand on the Ark to keep it from tipping over. God killed him and David was angry and confused.
Here are some take away points from this story that we can all learn from.
1. David and his men forgot the rules. Moses spent a lot of time teaching the Israelites how to care for the Ark. The Levites were responsible for moving the Ark. Hands were not to touch the Ark, poles through rings were used to carry the Ark.
It seems that while Saul was king the law of Moses was not strictly adhered to. We are free from the Law but not free from the Law of Christ—to love God with our whole heart and love our neighbor as our self.
2. God does not need our help. This is important to know. Many times we want to take matters into our own
hands. We think we can push things along by cutting corners, cheating on our taxes, prying into the business of others. Our focus is to be obedient to the Law of Christ (see above).
3. Uzzah thought he was cleaner than dirt. The dirt was fine. God created the dirt and the dirt does what it was
made to do—feed plants, decompose garbage, be a home for all kinds of critters. Uzzah was a sinner acting in rebellion against God’s Law. He had no right to think he could be that familiar with the Ark of the Cove-nant. We are redeemed through the blood of Christ not through any of our own actions. In the Westminster Shorter Catechism poises the question, “what is the chief end of man? To glorify God and enjoy Him forev-er.” To fulfill that purpose will make you as clean as dirt.

Western Christian PSP families,
Our field trips have always been one of the cornerstones of our program. However, due to County, State and Federal government guidelines regarding public gatherings, many places have postponed their field trips until further notice. There are a few organizations that are possibilities, but personnel are on vacation and will return our calls within the next few weeks. We will constantly be checking organizations and busi-nesses to see when they may open up. In the meantime, we will work on other alternative “field trips” that we can offer our families. Please keep on the lookout for any email updates we may send out regarding possible field trip opportunities. In addition, any field trips that we are able to organize will be in the monthly newsletters. Thank you for your understanding and we look forward to getting back on the field trip track as soon as possible!

Elementary Preschool-6th grade Coronavirus has made it so that we cannot offer pre-school until we are allowed back on CBC’s campus. However, we have organized Backyard Tuesday and Thursday School until we can return to the CBC campus. Our vision with this plan is that parents and kids can start making friends and connections in a safe environment. Their teachers will provide a devotional and a science or history lesson.
We encourage parents to stay and help or just to socialize! All four homes for Tuesday school are located within 2 miles of each other and have large backyards to allow for kids to be socially distanced. We are still looking for homes in Ran-cho or Upland for Thursday school! If you have signed up and pre-paid for Tuesday school, we will be emailing the ad-dresses to you directly. Each class will be 10-12 students and will run for one hour and a half long.
We need a 5th/6th grade teacher for Tuesday and Thursday. Please call Marilyn Stephens 626-222-3562 if you are inter-ested.

Bible 9 Full year course - 10 credits (Virtual for first semester and then will reassess) Tuesday 8:00-9:00 AM This course aims at avoiding two opposite errors. The first is a worship that is fervent but ignorant of the Scriptures. The second is a worship that is knowledgeable in the Scriptures but lacking in true love for God. The solution is to guide students into thoughtful worship that adores God (both head and heart). God de-signed humans in His image and intended that they use their intellect, guided by affections that are submit-ted to Him (Proverbs 1:7). Therefore, this course prepares students to do theology, or study the Bible (head). Secondly, the course prepares students to be responsible disciples of Christ who live for the Lord and pursue Christlikeness (heart).

Instructor Sue Basile's e-mail is [email protected], if you have any questions. Digital Photography This fun and creative one-year course incorporates both digital and art photography. Basic photography skills are taught through assignments, lectures, video and projects. Various photographic styles are explored including, Documentary, Portraiture, Commercial, Landscape and Nature. Art photography assignments include, but are not limited to, photo transfers, sun printing, photo collage and storybook. This class is not about the quality of a camera or fancy gadgets. I work to train the eye, so a point and shoot camera is sufficient (no iPhones). I have been teaching this course for over 17 years, and graduated with a degree in Fine Art Photography from Cal State Long Beach.
Materials Fee - students will pay for prints, once we begin teaching in-person, for each assignment, as well as materials for art related projects. Fee listed is approximate.

VAPA (Squilt) Music Appreciation Class Course Description Welcome to an exciting new year! I am Letitia Ugwueke and this will be my first year teaching at Western Christian. I have been homeschooling for 2 years and this will be my kid’s 3rd year in the program. I have a 9th grader and a 5th grader. I studied Music at Azusa Pacific University and earned my BA and MA in Vocal Performance. Presently I lead worship at my church, teach voice out of my home and I am a Voice teacher vendor for Granite Mountain. I look forward to sharing my experience and exposing the students to all kinds of music, which will enhance their learning, their listen-ing and above all their creativity. God is in music and God created music. And my prayer is that the students' love of mu-sic will grow deeper and make them think about music for themselves.
In this class students will be challenged in listening and identifying various aspects relating to media/visual arts, theatre, music and dance. Students will gain an appreciation of music from classical to movie music. They will apply listening, visual arts, dance and theatre to each style of music that is presented each month.
As a result of Covid-19, classes will be virtual until further notice.

CVCC Back-to-School Plan
The administration has been talking and praying about our options for this fall. Ultimately we are hoping that the circumstances involving churches and schools will be back to normal soon, but realize that the rules and guidelines given by our leaders can ultimately keep us from being on the CVCC campus come Septem-ber. Because we cannot predict the future, we have come up with four options for Friday School (K-8) and three options for the For Credit classes. Friday School (K-8th):
A. We conduct classes at CVCC with groups of 10 students who will rotate to three different activities within their grade level. This allows 30 students per grade level to participate. We will need extra help to cover all of the groups as well as sanitizing the classrooms before every rotation. There will be a zoom op-tion as well for those still in quarantine. B. We split each grade level into two groups. Each group will attend Friday school every other week. On
the off week there will be a park day activity. C. Everyone is on zoom. D. We meet as usual- either at the beginning of school on 9/11 or when able. For Credit Classes: A. We conduct classes at CVCC with class sizes no larger than 10 students. B. We conduct classes outside as weather permits. C. We have all classes on zoom. We will not know which option is available for us until September 1st. Please be patient and join us in pray-
ing for wisdom, clarity and of course the healing of our country.

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 recog-
nize what you have been doing.
3. Check the Western Christian website to see what courses CSU and UC want you to take.
4. Check this website for more information about how to get into college as a homeschooler:
Look at www.californiacolleges.edu/#/
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.

US American History Grades 11-12 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, politics, 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 text-book.

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), fol-lowed by a one-hour lab. Course Fee: $350/semester, plus enrollment fee, $35/semester Instructor: Matthew H. Sanders, [email protected] 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 Mon-rovia, CA. He has also taught at Christbridge Academy in Azusa, CA; AP Biology, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, US History, 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, ki-netics, 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.

American Government/Economics Class Description—Thursday Instructor: Ken Greek Class time: Thursdays, 5—6:30 p.m. at Chino Valley Community Church Course Fee: This is an upper division, year-long course. During the first semester, in American Government we will focus on the founding principles that formed America. Students will learn why The United States was created and how it stands as beacon of religious, civil, and economic freedom in the world. We will read from original source documents such as the Declaration of Independence, Federalist Papers, and the Constitution to learn how the three branches of American government were designed to control and limit power to protect freedom. These resources will supplement weekly reading from two books: Matthew Spaulding’s We Still Hold These Truths, and Eric Metaxis’ If You Can Keep It. Class discussion will explore how our founding principles have informed historical events and are being de-bated in today’s political culture. Students will be challenged to use what they have learned to become active citizens in our democratic republic. During the second semester, in Economics we will use Henry Hazlitt’s book, Economics in One Lesson, as a spring-board to explore the principles of micro and macroeconomics. This is a practical course that will require weekly read-ing of news sources for articles that illustrate each week’s subject. Students will be exposed to the major economic systems, principles of supply and demand, government taxation and regulation, unions and other special interests, trade policies, minimum wage and rent control, and a variety of other current trends that are gaining interest like a universal basic income. Please contact [email protected] or [email protected] to enroll in this class.

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 students should take Algebra I in 8th grade, which would mean Pre-Algebra 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 cur-riculum. 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, subtrac-tion, multiplication and division. Will move into decimals, integers, multiples, factors, fractions, equations and ine-qualities, ratio, proportion, percentages, geometry 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 EDI-TION REQUIRED - daily homework to be corrected by parent and/or student. Tests will be sent home, to be ad-ministered by a parent or homeschooling teacher, and brought back to the next class session.

3. Commonly used tables and chairs will be disinfected between classes. This will mean we need to shorten class periods to one hour to allow time to clean the area. Class times will be 8:00-9:00, 9:15-10:15, 10:30-11:30, and 11:45 to 12:45.
4. Students will be required to sit 6 feet or more apart in the classroom.
5. Zoom sessions will be going on at the same time, so if you are unable to attend in person, you can still sit
in on the class.
