Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

 Amendment 3

No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law.

 Amendment 4

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

 Art 3, Sec 3

Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court. Clause 2: The Congress shall have Power to declare the Punishment of Treason, but no Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption of Blood, or Forfeiture except during the Life of the Person attainted.

 The 6-8 minute oration is delivered without written notes before the Legion's selected judges. The first level begins in December 2008 and then moves into local and regional competitions.

 Dr. Charles Jackson is founder and president of Points of Origins Ministries. He holds a Bachelor's of Science degree in Biology, two Master's degrees, and earned his Doctorate in Science Education at the University of Virginia - Charlottesville in 1994.  Over  the last 20 years, "Dr. J"  has taught science or education courses at both public and private schools to students at the high school and university levels in four states.

 In addition to a busy speaking and debating schedule in the U.S., he has also made several lecture tours in South America. He is a dynamic speaker on Creation Science, is especially popular with high school and college age groups, and has addressed many science classes in both public and private schools.  His main ministry is to aid believing students to contend for the Faith and to equip them as witnesses against post-modernistic thinking. 

 Tom Vail is the founder and president of Canyon Ministries.  Back in 1982, he gave up a business career to become a Colorado River Boatman.

Instead of navigating through corporate corridors, Tom took up a career leading rafting trips through the Grand Canyon. He has also worked as a part-time guide for the Grand Canyon National Park Service, and was an elected member of the board of directors for Grand Canyon River Guides.  After becoming a Christian, his change in worldviews triggered a search for answers to questions he had about the evolutionary model of the formation of Grand Canyon. He now says that the creation model of the canyon makes more sense and answers more questions than the evolutionary model.

 In 2003, his book Grand Canyon, a Different View was published and briefly banned from bookstores run by the National Park Service. The book combines stunning photography with commentaries of some of the leading creation science writers, researchers, and theologians of our time.

 Sponsor: Quad-City Creation Science Association - a non-denominational, non-profit association dedicated to telling the truth in Science Education and proclaiming the good news of Jesus Christ - as Creator, Savior, and Lord of all. More info: Helmut Welke

Is your home all ready to start school, if you haven't already?  

Is your CPI form filled out and submitted?  It needs to be submitted, according to NICHE, by the first day of school in the school district you are living in. 

Did you get confused by the lead testing requirements or the dental/vision screening law?   Don't be, The lead testing requirement ONLY applies to homeschoolers if you are filling out a CPI form for a child under the age of 6.  Legally a CPI form is not required until the child is 7.  There may be a few instances when someone would feel the need to fill out a CPI for the child younger than 6, but this would not be the normal.  http://www.the-niche.org/Pages/faq.html#healthscreen gives the explaination step by step to determine if you need to do the lab testing. 

And what about the dental and vision screening that was also passed by the legislature?  There is a specific homeschool excemption in there so it does not affect homeschool kids at all. 

Have you got all your curriculum?  Need some last minute used curriculum from somewhere?  Try the HSLDA used curriculum auction site at http://market.hslda.org/auction/xcAuction.asp.  E-bay also always has used curriculum at http://www.ebay.com .   Don't have time for an auction?  Some of my favorite sites for used curriculum are Used Homeschool Curriculum at http://www.homeschoolclassifieds.com/.  Vegsource has for sale boards at http://www.vegsource.com/homeschool/ .  Do a google searach and you will find lots more.  New curriculum may be the quickest curriculum you can find, and they are numerous and multiple.  A google search will give you more than you want to check out. 

Got to go mediate a "discussion" between two kids.  Talk at ya later. 

Nancy

I have been searching the internet once again this year looking for where the CPI form can be printed off.  I have so far been unable to find a form that is not in PDF format.  Unless there's a trick I do not know about, I cannot fill out the PDF form on my computer and print it filled out.  I try to keep things saved online as much as possible and, besides, my handwriting isn't all that legible even when I try.  So for me personally, I really want it in Word format.  When and if I find one, I'll submit a link to it. 

The following links both download in PDF format only. 

This first link is on NICHE.  It is not restricted to member only.  http://www.the-niche.org/Pages/forms.html   This link is to the Iowa State Department of Education. http://www.iowa.gov/educate/content/view/301/504/

Remember, you can get the ENTIRE Friday Freebie newsletters free in your own e-mail box.  Go to www.thehomeschoolmagazine.com and sign up.  Nancy
