Online Homeschool Classes for Grades 3-12
ABOUT ME
My name is Cindy Lumpkin. I am an empty nest homeschool mom, grandma, art lover, and teacher. I love sharing my passion for Art, Literature and Writing. I teach live online classes that foster engagement, creative expression and confidence. I love helping students find things they are good at and get better at things that challenge them.
I have been teaching children in both formal and informal settings for over 30 years as a homeschool mom, substitute teacher, Girl Scout leader, and camp/program director. My classes are fun and engaging and allow students to interact and share ideas with their peers. All classes are taught with a Christian world view, but everyone is encouraged to maintain their own beliefs. I do not preach or force anyone to conform to my beliefs.
I live in North Central Indiana with my little dog and my husband. When I am not planning or teaching classes I like hanging out with my grandchildren, playing with my dog, creating mixed media art and making quilts.
MY CLASSES
I teach semester long (11-13 weeks) and year long (22-26 weeks) homeschool classes in Literature, Writing, and Art. The classes offered each semester and the days and times they are offered change from year to year.
All classes are live virtual classes and require that students have a computer or tablet (computer is recommended for literature and writing classes) adequate internet, a webcam and microphone. All students are expected to have camera on and to participate in each live class.
Each class includes 3-4 grade levels and is specially designed with activities and assignments chosen for that age range. Classes are divided into Elementary (grades 3-5) Middle School (grades 6-8) and High School (grades 9-12). There is some flexibility for students to take a class designed for a younger grade if their parents feel it is a better fit for their student, but the family would need to discuss this with me at the time of registration.
All High School classes are graded and meet requirements for High School credit. A grade card with complete class description, dates, and the grade the student earned will be sent to parents at the end of each semester. Middle School Literature and Writing classes are also graded, but Art classes are not. None of the Elementary classes are graded.
