Come and take a tour of the Solar System. This course will describe each of the planets in our Solar System, explaining what is unique about each one. Special attention will be given to our sun and moon, as well as the moons of Jupiter and Saturn. We will learn about strange objects called comets and asteroids, and about mysterious places like the Asteroid Belt, the Kuiper Belt, and the Oort Cloud.
Each class will include hands-on work where you will practice the scientific method. Together we will perform chemistry, biology, earth science, and physics experiments and learn how to measure and analyze data. You will learn how to design an experiment and present a science fair project, all while having fun! See yourself in a video! So, get your lab coat and let’s get started!
The ocean is full of creatures unlike anything we have seen on Earth’s surface! In this course we will learn about the ocean, its habitats and the animals that live there. From tiny plankton to giant predators, we will see how marine animals eat and grow. How babies are born and grow, and how ocean animals interact will also be a focus of this course.
How would you like to learn more about SCIENCE through watching, learning, and doing. We will start with easy science experiments and then move on to experiments with a bit more difficulty level. Overall, each session we will learn about the SCIENTIFIC METHOD while observing different experiment(s) to learn science basics. Students will keep a science lab notebook and learn about creating, testing, recording, and analyzing a scientific guess (or hypothesis) that they will make at the beginning of each of our experiment(s).
Do you ever wonder what it would be like to be a spy, or a code breaker? Perhaps, you like to solve mysteries or are good at finding clues. If you are, you probably enjoy hearing about adventures and mysteries. During this class, we will become familiar with young detectives, spies and adventurers that go on missions, adventures and solve crimes. Do you think you will be able to solve the secrets and crimes before they do?

“What if…..?” Have you ever tried to imagine what life would be like in a future ideal society, or even now, if a group of youngsters were marooned on an island, away from the usual rules imposed by adults? Take the chance and visit these imaginary communities and judge for yourself whether there would be fewer restrictions, or even more than in our present world.
Our book club list reveals how new societies arise, the qualities of character that shape them, and the choices that determine whether or not they will survive. Are you ready to explore these brave new worlds?
Learn the stories behind some of Britain’s best-known and little known historical sites. Visit the Tower of London, Hadrian’s Wall, King Alfred’s Blowing Stone, the Martyr’s Memorial, Queen Boadicea’s Monument, and Lock Ness, to name just a few. Relive some of Britain’s most exciting events and legends of the past. Our tour will leave you wanting more!

A Long Walk to Water 作者:Salva Dut
Unbroken 作者:Laura Hillenbrand (The Young Adult Adaptation)
Why are certain people able to rise above their own limited circumstances in life and become leaders, heroes, and even Noble Prize winners. What character traits help some people, or even whole societies, succeed where others fail? How do certain people find the strength to overcome extreme adversity and not only survive in challenging situations and environments, but excel?
This book club presents the opportunity to get to know real people that rose above the limited circumstances they were born into and develop amazing lives full of accomplishment. You will experience their hardships and gain an understanding of what it means to be a resilient person. Come and hear their voices, learn about their actions, and see why the power of one person is enough to inspire change in the world. Through perseverance and everlasting hope………..failure is just not an option!
You want a class that is educational and enjoyable? This is the one. It is called compare and contrast. You pick the story and the movie and after reading the book and watching the movie you write the differences and the same between each one. It’s not hard, but a lot of paying attention.

Robin和Lucca老师推荐Mark的理由如下:
Teacher Robin Garrison & Lucca:
I would like to nominate Mark Cheng for the Student of the Month. Mark did awesome job in the last few month. He made great improvement. At first he hardly understand teacher's instruction. But now he can manage by himself. He can read three stories and answered teacher's questions without any help. And we all love his Christmas gift- a video of him playing a Christmas song on the piano! 作者: 瑞藤教育 时间: 2015-1-25 08:45
2位学员同时获得 2015年1月的 Student of the Month
Congratulations to Cindy Fan, Luna Li, Ivy Education’s Student of the Month!
Teacher Michelle Baughan:
I would like to nominate Cindy Fan as a candidate for student of the month. Cindy is a remarkable little girl who has grown leaps and bounds while working with the reading eggs program. Both her English vocabulary and her pronunciation as well have improved immensely over the last couple of months. This reward would mean a great deal to both her and her mother - as they have both worked very hard along with me for these improvements! GO CINDY!!
Teacher Holly Cole:
My nomination for student of the month is Luna Li. She's amazing. Luna has done what is required of her and much more! I assign her SAT vocabulary words to learn on a weekly to biweekly basis and we are reading an historical fiction novel, The Golden Goblet. She read the novel in its entirety and answered all of the discussion questions while on winter break with her family in Greece. Her ancestors are from a humble background, farmers. She is bright, gifted with linguistics, extremely hardworking and will undoubtedly make her country proud. I can't say enough good things about Luna. She inspires me to get up in the morning. I nominate Luna❤️ 作者: 瑞藤教育 时间: 2015-2-12 11:07
女孩问男友: 为什么英文的排列是ABCDEFG?
男友回答: 因为 A Boy Can Do Everything For Girls。(一个男孩可为女孩付出一切)
女孩非常感动,决定这一辈子非这个男孩不嫁。
但是....她忘记了英文接下来的排列是HIJK。
He Is Just Kidding. (他是开玩笑的)
祝各位情人节快乐 作者: 瑞藤教育 时间: 2015-2-15 11:08
