BHEA MEMBERS:
We still need members to help by providing "Curriculum Share" tables. This is a popular part of Homeschooling 101, as it gives new and current homeschoolers a chance to get a hands-on look at various curricula. Parents will often just want to see a particular book, or they may have questions to ask about how you incorporate a text into your schedule.
All you need to do is bring a selection of your favorite homeschooling materials to set up on a table and be willing to answers questions. You won't be giving a speech; it's a very casual "browsing" environment. It doesn't matter whether you use a textbook approach or are completely eclectic; we need a variety of tables to assure people that there are a variety of approaches to homeschooling. The Show-and-Tell session will begin about 1 p.m. and will end promptly at 2 p.m.
Be sure to tell any friends who are considering homeschooling about Homeschooling 101. This is a valuable introduction to homeschooling. We'll be covering homeschooling laws, registration, and approaches in our introductory session from 12-1 p.m. Participants will receive several excellent hand-outs and have a variety of catalogs available to take home to peruse. Please note that current homeschoolers are welcome to attend, too! We will have several members available for one-on-one questions during the second half of the program.
If you would be willing to help out with a Curriculum Share table or have questions about Homeschooling 101, please contact Sarah Small at shc.small@gmail.com . |
