Library fun for homeschoolers!

Hey homeschoolers!

A couple of things coming up that might interest you (details to follow)

April 19th (Tuesday) we have an author coming to the library and she will be doing readings - her books are fun nonfiction (about animals)

If we'd like to book in as a group - i saw the books and they look like my boys would really like  them...

AND ALSO

Spring break - are you staying home?  Or travelling?

If you are at home, Pam is hard at work on a spring break program that sounds like a lot of fun - it would be nice to get together there as a group :)

Just a couple of things to keep in mind as we slowly endure the wrong side of winter (the "Christmas is not coming for another year" side...)

Holocaust Survivor, Dr. Eva Olsson

I am planning to take advantage of the invitation sent out by YRAF - Dr. Eva Olsson will be speaking at St. Gregory at 12:30 on October 21.

I hope to see some other homeschool moms and children there, too!

This was one of my major reading points as a preteen, and it still shapes my worldview, for good and for evil.  It made me realize how bad humankind can get, and how brave and good, also.  It also made me an unreasonable, passionate friend of the Jewish people in general and Israel in particular.

I can't wait to hear what she has to say!

Gymnastics in Hinton?

There is a Facebook Group called "Gymnastics in Hinton" - if you are interested in gymnastics here in town, sign up!

Right now there is a new post advertising a Tot Tumble class - but looks like they are limited to only eight people...

Rebecca Herman TOT TUMBLE CLASS Gymnastics with Kennedy Holt.Tuesdays 10:30am at ATF studio. Room for 8.Call 817-2481

I'm excited to see this opportunity!

Registration Fair?

Hi Homeschoolers!

I'm wondering if anyone is interested in manning a table at the Hinton Registration Fair?  Might be nice to have information there for other people and possibly connect with other homeschoolers who aren't on our radar?  If you're interested, let me know!

Swimming Lessons?

Hi Everyone!

If you haven't emailed/phoned about swimming lessons, please call Stephanie at 817-5542 - we are trying to combine our lessons with another group to save money and make the cost roughly 3.67/child/lesson.

If you are interested, the deadline is today!  I'll try to call the ones i haven't heard back from, but if you haven't heard from anyone, and you are interested, please get hold of Stephanie!

End of the Year BBQ!

What a great party and fun time!  We didn't get everything we'd planned to do squeezed in, but it was so nice watching the littles in the water at the end of the day, no one felt the need to pull them out for anything more organized.

Isabella did a great job with the Bugology field trip, and then we had our picnic - (thank you to IGA, Safeway, Walmart and Dairy Queen for helping make it so nice!) - and crafts...

Beautiful day and so nice to have so many of the homeschoolers together.

I'm so glad Natalie made the effort to find a better day and reorganize everything at the last minute :)

Update! New plans for end of the year BBQ!

Hi Everyone:

SO...this is THE PLAN which after talking to a few of you seems to be to the mom and kids advantage.

We are planning to meet at Kelly's Bathtub on the 29th at 10am - 12 noon for the Bugology field trip, soooo... we are going to have our End of theYear/summer's here BBQ at Kelly's from 12- 3:00.

Unfortunately some father's will not be able to make it and that's most unfortunate :o( . We'll have to get together sometime and honor their vital part in home education. May God Bless them!!

 

I have asked for donations from IGA, Safeway and Walmart. I will confirm on Monday what to bring but

I think we can buy the following with donations:

drinks

cups

plates

cutlery

hotdogs/hamburgers

buns

 

We may have a scavenger hunt and prizes which will be from the donations. Please be prepared to bring salads and side dishes. I'm thinking of a big cake for the event.

Also, you may want to bring swimsuits, towels, sun lotion (pray for good weather) and whatever else you can. We'll see you there.

Those who have older kids/teenagers I would like to hear from you and what we could do for them to make this meaningful.

Also, any suggestions for prizes or goody bags. We are somewhat limited $100.00 to work with or should we have craft stuff. I know that Juanita and Stephanie are taking care of Certificates and games.

 

Please let us know if you are definately coming.We want to see as many of you as we can.

 

Natalie for all us Hinton Home Educators
