T.H.E. Classes
T.H.E. Classes is an acronym for Tuesday Homeschool
Elective Classes, fondly called "The Classes" by students and
families alike who look forward to an afternoon of learning and
interacting with other homeschool families. We are a Christian group of
homeschool moms who initially started meeting together for a homeschool
choir; a drama class was quickly added; and now a full afternoon of
classes is offered for Elementary, Middle and High School students. That
initial group of moms (and their husbands) now make up a voluntary board
that organizes, oversees and often teaches THE Classes. Our goal is to
honor God in all that we do and through Him establish a learning
environment that provides support, fellowship and opportunities to the
homeschoolers of Randolph County.
We are not an exclusive group; T.H.E. Classes are open
to all homeschoolers. As we have grown in numbers, we have had to limit
the numbers in some of our classes. We ask for your understanding as we
learn as we grow and adapt. We don't claim to have everything figured
out or always under control - this is a work in progress, and we make
changes as we find what works. If you have a suggestion or a concern,
please feel free to contact one of the board members. Board Members are
located at the end of this page.
Classes meet every Tuesday
at New Life Family Fellowship Church
Location is 1354 Allred Street, Asheboro,
unless otherwise stated!
THE Classes registration has changed as follows:
Early Registration Date: August 24th,

in any of THE class.

These classes do not have a class limit size.
We are sorry if you feel this is unfair but due to our facility
class sizes are limits due to space.

help us make these classes possible by volunteering for at least 2
slots/dates per week for cleanup and room monitors
etc.

We are very excited
about the many families that will be returning and
for new faces joining
T.H.E. Classes this year! It is our desire to
accommodate the most families possible, present the
class information clearly, answer questions, and
register students in a fair manner.
In HIS Service,

The American Girl Collection is a compilation of
stories about a group of girls who lived during different times in
American History. This class will give students the opportunity to
live through these key periods in American history by briefly
highlighting specific facts and plotting a timeline in a lapbook/notebook. There
will also be crafts
and games related to each American Girl Historical Character. This
class will be a fun “hands on” class for upper elementary students

a little geography, a lot of crafting that will hopefully inspire “a
little” reading along the way.

You will need your own copies of each book.
(Any 8th graders who prefer to study
Where the Red Fern Grows instead of
The Tempest need to make that clear on
their registration so that we have
the correct study guide prepared)
We are going to have a separate discussion group for the 8th graders
on the first book, The Tempest. This will allow them to go a
little deeper than the younger grades, but not put them with the high
school grade students. Then they will combine with the rest of the middle school group for the
second book (The Hiding Place), and at that point, we will have 2
middle school discussion groups studying the same book like we did last
year.
