Homeschool Tutorials
The following are the homeschool tutorials that I know of in Tennessee. If you know of others that you'd like to see listed here, please send me an email. Thanks!
_______________________________________________________________________
West Harpeth Christian Tutorial - Franklin
"The mission at WHCT is to help homeschool parents and their students by providing select, graded coursework from a deliberate and informed Christian perspective for the purpose of supplementing the home education. By hiring tutors who confess a Christian faith, possess a Christian worldview and are qualified to teach their subject areas, we fulfill our goal of helping educate our children in a unique atmosphere. We would like to extend an invitation to you to join us in this calling - educating our children for the glory of God."
Visit the West Harpeth Christian Tutorial web site for more information.

Stone-Table Classic Foundations - Franklin
"In August 2000 Robbie and Sharilyn Grayson began Stone Table Tutorial, on five acres at 4150 Clovercroft Road, Franklin, Tennessee. Stone Table started as an aggressive and innovative form of Christian education that would address the surfacing cultural problems of the 21st century: the fog of a Post-modern world view, a waning Christian consensus amongst the young, a poor Christian scholarship at the elementary level, and an ignorance of a Christian physiological view of the individual."
Here is the link to their web site: Stone-Table.com

Bellevue Homeschool Enrichment - Pegram
Bellevue Home School Enrichment serves Pre-K through 12 with classes on Mondays during the school year. These classes meet just west of Bellevue in Pegram. This is a Christ-centered, academic program at affordable rates. It also offers lots of extracurricular activities including drama, volleyball, Girl Scouts, Junior Achievemnet's Exchange City, yearbook, student government, and much more.
Visit the web site: www.enrichmentbhse.com

Spring 2009 TOS
It's another issue of The Old Schoolhouse magazine at my door! This one was so interesting that I read it cover to cover right away!
There are so many neat stories and articles in Spring 2009. There are some about how to deal with burnout, how to get your church to help out, great field trip stories and a unit study on gardening.
The article that really stood out for me this issue begins on page 126 and deals with Mastering the Grading Process, by Inge P. Cannon. I learned a lot from this article on how to give reflective grades and how to figure high school credits.
You can get a subscription to TOS at this link which includes this new Spring Issue! If you'd rather get a digital issue to read NOW that's do-able as well. Follow this link to buy that for only $5.95 at The Schoolhouse Store.
This issue is all around great reading. Get one today!

Free Bowling for children
I just ran across kidsbowlfree.com that allows children to bowl two free games all summer long at participating bowling centers.
Unfortunately it only lists three bowling centers in Tennessee. But maybe some of you can take advantage of this offer. Have fun!

Resurrection Day ideas
It's the Lenten Season, so I'll share some free stuff you can find on-line to help you celebrate the Resurrection of Christ with your children.
Bible in Living Sound is offering The Passion of Jesus Christ as an MP3 download (not free, but reasonable.) This is a enthralling re-enactment with music and "live" sound effects putting your kids in the middle of the action. You will find that and other downloads HERE . (If your kids enjoy this dramatization there are LOTS of these at the Schoolhouse Store! You will find them HERE.)
Easter Freebies from The Old Schoolhouse Store:
The Real Story of Easter -story, copywork and place cards
Great stories to read on-line:
Easter Bunny, Are You For Real? - written by Harold Myra.
Evan, The Tree that Became the Cross - A story for children by David C Klem
Suddenly One Morning - by Charles R. Swindoll
Learn about Christ through art:
Crafts and other freebies:

TOS-Winter 2008
This winter must surely be flying by. I've gotten my Winter 2008 edition of The Old Schoolhouse magazine and it seems like I had just received my Fall 2008 last month! I guess it's the busyness of the Holidays that makes winter go past so fast.
Anyway, this issue is full of great ideas and encouragement as always.
I enjoyed the entire magazine this time, and to pick a favorite article is very difficult. So I'm just going to tell you a bit about An Insider's Guide to Conventions by Maggie S. Hogan. This article begins on page 94. There is so much helpful information with Convention Tips, Vendor Tips, Shopping Tips and Workshop Tips. It's a must read before heading to a Convention this year.
See the side bar for links to the Conferences/Resources Fairs in your area that we know of so far.
If you don't subscribe to The Old Schoolhouse you may purchase just one issue (free shipping) at The Schoolhouse Store.
