Wizard of Oz Unit Study

This class is held weekly, on Mondays from 10:30am-12:30pm, all school year long. It's for girls and boys of all ages, 3 and up! The Class List with names/genders/ages of students registered up for these classes are found at the bottom of the event's description.

A Unit Study is a type of curriculum that organizes all subjects around one topic. In this case, it's a unit study about the novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum.

We'll be reading a chapter each class, using the Mina Lima illustrated with interactive elements version. It's so gorgeous! However, there is no need to purchase the book, because the complete text has been added to the unit plans, now that is it public domain.

We will also be using The Wonderful Wizard of Oz Novel Study curriculum created by Gay Miller. It's a full English/Language Arts, Literature, and Vocabulary curriculum, geared to those who are in 4th-8th grade. However, we will supplement for those that are younger, and those that are older, with like materials.

And last bust surely not in the least, we will also be making a recipe out of The Wizard of Oz – The Official Cookbook each class! From Festive Munchkin Goodwiches to Ruby Slipper Cupcakes, this cookbook will take us on a magical journey that will surely not disappoint!

If you like The Wizard of Oz, making recipes, doing fun learning activities, join us in this fun! We'd love to see you and make new friends!

*Invoices will be sent out round the 15th of each month that will be due on the first of each month. It's assumed that you'd like to continue each month unless you let us know that you no longer will. No judgements, just let us know ASAP as there may be a waiting list for the class.

We'll be outside under a huge pavilion so prepare yourself for the day's weather. Bring enough water, bug spray, personal battery operated fans, cool clothing, etc. We meet in the rain as the pavilion is huge and we stay dry. Please check our FB Page to see if any updates have been made about the classes each day. ALL announcement will be via FB as I can't access the website via phone. If you're planning on dropping off your child please contact Kei Denevan our Head Organizer first to get approval.
