I’m offering four separate classes this fall ― all on the same day, unless there’s enough demand to book any of the classes more than once . I’m seeking immediate feedback from those who are interested, to ensure that I can accommodate as many people’s schedules as possible. What remains to be determined is:
- what day(s) the four classes will meet, and
- what books we’ll read for the two literature classes.
Please respond as per the directions at the end of this post.
The Schedule
The semester will begin the week of September 8, 2025 and run through the first week of December.
The four classes will run by the clock as follows, but the day needs to be determined ASAP:
10:00 ― 10:45 Story, Rhyme, & Song ― 3-5 years old ($100/semester)
11:00 ― 12:00 Story, Rhyme, & Song ― 6-9 years old ($130/semester)
12:30 ― 1:30 Growing in the Literary Tradition ― Middle School ($130/semester)
1:40 ― 3:00 Growing in the Literary Tradition ― High School ($175/semester)
Which Day?
Fall 2023.
The scheduling question is: which of the following days is going to be the most popular to run the schedule above?
- Monday
- Tuesday
- Wednesday
The Books
For the two literature classes (Growing in the Literary Tradition), each class will cover two books. (For example, in Spring 2025, the High School class read Pride & Prejudice and A Wrinkle in Time.)
MIDDLE SCHOOL (Please rate the following four books in order of your interest, with 1 being the highest interest.)
- The Hobbit (J.R.R. Tolkien)

*About the controversy some will find regarding Harry Potter, please see my short article here.

- The Lion, the Witch, & the Wardrobe (C.S. Lewis) (other Narnia are possible)

You’ll see how to contact me on the Contact Page. Please be sure to state which classes interest you, and to tell me which days are best. Also, please tell me your book interests (if that applies to you). And the final thing I need to know is your level of interest.
