College Station: Susan Wise Bauer Workshop
Home School Information Zone (HSIZ) is hosting SUSAN WISE BAUER in
College Station, TX on Saturday July 19th. Whoop!
This is an intimate seminar and tickets are LIMITED!!!! Tickets are
non transferable to protect you the Buyer. This is not a book fair!
This is Susan Wise Bauer, her only stop in Texas, in a seminar venue
where the back row seat is still considered an AWESOME seat in the
large book fair halls.
We recommend you leave the kiddos at home and get some education for
the educator.
Come join us as Susan Wise Bauer will have three different topics to
speak to you on!
In between workshops, we will create a lap book based on one of the
volumes from the Story of the World series. However, we are not going
to tell you which one, you will have to show up to find out. :o).
All lap book supplies will be provided for you.
We have had a high volume of traffic registering, so please be patient
if you are putting our resources to their limit. :o)
For more details and to purchase tickets, please visit http://www.hsiz.org
Please read everything carefully prior to emailing us questions. We
are busy homeschool moms and just like you, our number one priority is
homeschooling our children. Thank you.
Happy Schooling!

Graduation
Today I would like to write something a bit more personal. May is the month of homeschool graduations and homeschool conferences. Last year, I graduated one of my children in a wonderful small homeschool ceremony with friends around us. This year, however, was something spectacular.
My daughter graduated from ORU in Tulsa. I must say that I have been to several college graduations, but ORU is the best. Our last graduation at ORU was 9 years ago when my oldest and her husband graduated together. And yet, the ceremony always surprises me.
At the hooding, the head of the department stood there for an hour to hug each student as they received their hood, which indicates their school, their degree, and their specialty. To see this woman hugging these students, giving small whispers as they pass, knowing each of these adults in their path to completion of their degree was awe inspiring. We talked with her later and she is truly a woman of inspiration to my daughter.
Today, we had all the pomp and circumstance as we stood while the deans filed into the auditorium, and then the professors in their various robes with indications of rank and specialty. Then as the graduates enter, they wave to family and friends in the auditorium. So the music stops, I stop talking to those around me and all of a sudden we are singing praises to the Lord. As in church, we sing rousing praise songs of thanksgiving and rejoicing as this is a day of celebration, a time to stop and say THANK YOU GOD FOR BRINGING US TO THIS POINT. Kleenexes abounded before it was over.
They were great to acknowledge that each degree was a group effort, by the students, the professors and the families who sacrificed and supported the student through the process. It was good to be acknowledged, but also to see at an auditorium of families who had also sacrificed to send their children to a Christian college.
And that is what I wanted to talk about. This graduation is different than others I have attended in that
the Lord God was acknowledged and thanked and praised with every step, every song, every speech. The university teaches the whole man: body, soul and spirit. Dr. Cooper's institute is in charge of the PE program which is required of all the students. They are taught logic and thinking skills as well as developed emotionally as they meet deadlines and standards of excellence. Finally, with chapel and required foundational courses in Christianity, their spirits are taught and matured.
The speaker was inspiring, the procession was quick and well organized, and my little girl with the curly hair is now finished with her degree. And none of that would have happened without Jesus in our lives.

Summer Fun
This is for your consideration.
lease help me spread the word about Free Summer Science Clubs at Quick Study Labs. Forward this invitation to homeschool leaders, publications, curriculum advisors, and any one else you feel may be interested. Thanks in advance! The number of engineers and science professionals will drop to an alarming low in the next few years due to the baby-boomers retiring. This is our small effort to help.

QuickStudyLabs. com
Are you looking for something educational to get your kids involved in this summer? Quick Study Labs is offering Summer Club and Kid's Club as a free service to the public. Honest! The only thing for sale is a multimeter for less than $20 and if you already have one, you don't purchase one single thing.
Although Summer Club and Kid's Club are primarily designed with Christian Homeschool and Church School kids in mind, they are open to all, including those in public school who are out for the summer.
Club activities sponsored by Quick Study Labs are designed to get kids hooked on science as a fun choice of a career and to help kids see the application of science in our every day world.
Each Club Project is HANDS-ON, FUN SCIENCE. The projects are limited to one project every two weeks so as not to spoil summer vacation.
