CONFERENCE - USED BOOK SALE - ONE DAY ONLY

Come see feel and touch the material you have been thinking of purchasing but are unsure if it will work for you.

Speak first hand with families who have actually used the materials and find out what works and what doesn't work for each family and why. Then apply it to your family.


VETERAN HOME SCHOOLERS FORUM - Q & A

Beginning at 10:00 a.m.

Mentoring is crucial when home schooling. We have asked those who have spoken into our lives and mentored us (whether they realize it or not) AND have graduated their children from home school to participate in a Q & A session as the feature of our conference. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to have this much wisdom in one place with the opportunity for spontaneous live interaction. YOU MUST TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS!

OUR SPECIAL GUEST PANEL:

Regina Christian ~ Kathy Dupree ~ Diana Hung ~ Deborah Stabler ~ Debbie Vail ~ Marjean Blessing

UPDATE - UPDATE - UPDATE

The time is getting closer and I have received a lot of positive feedback so I thank you for your interest.

First Update - There will NOT be a questionnaire after all so don't think you are unable to find it because it is not there. It just became too big of a project to undertake at this point in time but it did give me a great idea for a future book writing project so I'll be in touch when I can add that to my plate. =).

Second Update - Please bring your old catalogs even if they are out of date. Old catalogs are a great resource to have when you are doing your planning and getting ideas. We will set up a spot for them to be FREE for the taking and I believe we can recycle and be a benefit to others at the same time.

Third Update - I still need more vendors to participate and if I don't get more volunteers I am going to have to start volunteering you myself! LOL!

Fourth Update - Please let me know if you are planning to attend and specifically if you want to have a table. There is an informational sheet I need you to fill out for printing before the conference so we can have a layout of which family is featuring what.

What Our Families Are Using

HOW THIS GOT STARTED

"I hear you home school, . . . so, what curriculum do you use?"  When someone finds out you home school if they are fellow home schoolers or know anything about it, they are going to ask "What curriculum do you use?"  My answers have varied over the past 17 years.  Typically, I always answered by saying a hodgepodge of sorts.  The more high schoolie we have become the more text bookie we have become but when our three were younger we stayed out of text books as much as possible.  It was what suited our family AND my children's learning styles.

There is a need for us all to get together locally and talk about what we do and how we do it and what worked and what doesn't work and . . . well, you get the idea.  Our church school covering is hosting the first annual What Curriculum Do You Use Conference.  See the side bar for more details.  We need families to bring what they are using or have used and talk with others about your own personal experiences with them.     

If you are interested AT ALL about any information regarding this conference please e-mail me, Hope Tadych, at - whatcurriculum@gmail.com with your e-mail address and I will put you on our list of those who want to stay informed.   You can also contact me at the number listed in the side bar.  There will be more postings with further information so please visit often.
