Hello Ladies. I am behind on organizing this and I apologize. We have a new location, thanks to a couple of ladies. Thank you Patricia Clapperton and Susan Berrezueta, who's church we can use.
Meetings will be at Newmarket Gospel Hall, 736 Davis Drive, Newmarket. 7PM. (I believe this is beside the Re-Store.)
The meetings will be scheduled as below. They WILL NOT be on the 4th Monday of the month, as I have things I had scheduling conflicts. They will be 5 or 6 weeks apart.
September 26 Louise House from the Learning House
November 7
December 12

February 27
April 2 or 16 Used Cirriculum Sale

I would love some suggestions, as usual, as to what people are looking for at the meetings.
I will also take the opportunity to mention the Home Education Mentoring program I would love to run if there is a need for it. It would be on a separate evening, if there is enough response.
This program is for any new home educating family interested in more personal mentoring from an experienced veteran – that’s “experienced” not “expert”.
This program may be for you IF:
- you are brand new this year with young children
- you are on the edge of a decision to home educate but want to know more about practical aspects
- you have been at this for a couple of years but still feel you require more of the basic information to go forward more comfortably
- you have older children recently removed from the public or private school system
- you are a veteran and would like to sit in on a session in order to become a mentor with Cornerstone
This is a detailed mentoring program developed by Vicky Bentley in Virginia based on her years of experience as a home educator and support group member and leader with a group of 300+ member families.
Because of the nature of this program, it will require a couple of commitments. It will require a time commitment of one night a week for approximately 8 weeks for 2 hours per night. It will also require a monetary commitment for the Parent Workbook of $37.
Topics to be covered are:
Beginning the Incredible Journey
Choosing Curriculum
Organizing Your Time
Home Education with Style
Getting Dinner on the Table (The Same Day You Homeschool)
Testing and Evaluation
Teaching Tips
Organizing Your Home
Lessons Learned
You will notice that these topics are not all strictly home educating how-tos but deal with the general flow of your household. I believe that choosing to home educate your children is not about making an education choice. It is truly a lifestyle choice. How you organize (or don't organize) your home and household tasks can and do directly affect your "school" time.
Enjoy what is left of your summer.
