Teaches the importance of repentance

The Flo Show Creates a Buzz
Hermie and Friends DVD #13

by Max Lucado

It's About Saying You're Sorry

When Flo gets her own TV talk show, she is positively thrilled!  She has to think about what to say, what to wear, and who to invite as guests.  What she isn't thinking about are other people's feelings.  After insulting every guest on her show, she finally realizes that she needs to apologize for the mean things she has said.  Children will learn that by saying you're sorry, you are asking forgiveness and fixing your friendship with another person. This lesson is based on Colossians 3:13 about forgiving each other because the Lord forgave you.

Bonus feature! Includes the cartoon short Little Red Hermie in the Hood.

Hi, my name is Darlene Nelson and I am a member of REACH (Responsible
Education Achieved in the Christian Home) and we are sponsoring the
local National Geographic Society Geography Bee for Homeschoolers in the
greater Seattle area. I am attaching a Word document/flyer with all the
information. (See below for what was in the attachment.)
 We hope you will share this with your membership and to
see you on December 1st!  Please feel free to share with other
homeschoolers in the area too!  If you have any questions, please
contact Debby Knox, the coordinator, at 425-818-8030
or myself Darlene, darbaby@qwest.net

Thank you,

Geography Bee
for ALL Homeschoolers

When:   Tuesday, December 1, 2009
Where:  Cross the Christ Lutheran Church
        3730 148th Ave SE Bellevue (Eastgate area)
Time:     6:30 p.m. Registration, 7:00 p.m. Bee begins
Cost:    $5.00 for REACH members, $8.00 for non-REACH members
Ages:     Grades 4-8 (strictly adhered to!)


 
 Which country has the world's largest Muslim population—Indonesia or Mexico?
If you have studied maps showing world religions, you will know the answer immediately. If you haven't, you might reason that Mexico was settled by the Spanish, followers of Christianity not Islam. Either way, you correctly answer Indonesia.

What is the term for a part of an ocean or sea that cuts far into the bordering landmass and may contain one or more bays?
From studying physical features on maps and using your geographical reference book to learn about physical features, you narrow your choices to two terms: bay and gulf. Since the word "bay" is used in the question, you eliminate it as a possibility and correctly answer gulf.
Which state has a climate suitable for growing citrus fruits—California or Maine?
You know that oranges and grapefruit are citrus fruits and that they grow in warm places. Since California's climate is definitely warmer and sunnier than Maine's, you correctly answer California.

To visit the ruins of Persepolis, an ancient ceremonial capital of Persia, you would have to travel to what present-day country?
From history books or from studying country profiles, you know that Persia is the former name of Iran, so you correctly answer Iran.

Her five children (ages 8 to 17) have participated in the Washington State Science and Engineering Fair (WSSEF) for the last six years. Kandis is on the WSSEF Board as their Homeschool Liaison. Two of her children received university scholarships at WSSEF. Her oldest daughter won a $40K scholarship from OWU at 12 years old. This year her 13-year-old son won a $60K scholarship from the same university. In May, Kandis's 16-year-old son graduated Magna Cum Laude from Saint Martin’s University in Mechanical Engineering.

Youth Legislature and Mock Trial Advisors, Seattle, WA

Youth Legislature and Mock Trial Advisors,

YMCA Youth & Government students are invited to help train REAL attorneys!  Please forward this information along to your students.  It would be an amazing opportunity for them to see a courtroom from the jury box.

Participate in real courtroom drama and assist in the professional growth of new lawyers

Volunteer jurors and witnesses are wanted for a November 21st mock trial at the Seattle Justice Center.  You will view full courtroom proceedings under a Washington judge – and render a verdict in the case.

 

The program starts at 8:00am and may run as late as 4:00pm.  Snacks are provided, but please bring a lunch or plan to eat out near the courthouse.  The Seattle Justice Center (Municipal Courthouse) is located at 600 5th Ave.
