Harrisburg CHAP Homeschool Convention
On Saturday I went to my very first homeschool
convention. To say it was enlightening was putting it
mildly. I learned so muchthere it was so refreshing and
renewing. It was just what I needed. I think that every
mom at some point in their lives has that feeling
of wanting to give up. The convention for me gave me the
drive to come home and be a great mom to my kids just
how I am. My kids aregreat and my homeschool is great!
Thats what I came away with... A peace of knowing
I am doing what is best for them.

For I have learned in whatever state I am to be content
I also came home with some great resources and
some ideas of whereI want to take my school in
the fall. I am sure this is a normal thing for all
you homeschooler out there that have gone to these
before but I had pilesand piles of catalogs when I came
home. Then sat and sorted and decidedthat way. It was
overwhelming at first but now I think I know what I am
doing more. Here are some of the places on the
web I didn't know about.
One of the workshops was a talk on the Right Brained Child.
I did not attend this workshop but I have heard it was
wonderful and now wish I had. However I was able
to find the link from our Catolog..

I was also impressed with this...
Homeschooling the challenging child
And lastly I may have my head in the sand but this
mom created thiscurriculum to go along with the Charlotte
Mason style of learning. I wasin love with her stuff and
will definately be purchasing some of her
writing programs, Cursive in particular.
Queen Homeschool
There is more I got from this but I am still kind
of mulling thingsover in my mind. It was a lot of information
crammed into only 2 daysand I only went one. Next year
I'll have a better plan of attack and hope to
get to listen to more of the talks. Maybe purchase them on tape.

The Queen Homeschool stuff is awesome. After going to convention the first time, you have an idea of how to plan before you go next year. If you need any help or encouragement with planning, let me know.
