Kids Workshops

Posted in Area Resources

The Home Depot's Kids Workshops offer useful projects including the creation of toolboxes, fire trucks and mail organizers, as well as more educational projects, such as a window birdhouse, bughouse or Declaration of Independence frame kit.

The workshops teach children do-it-yourself skills and tool safety, while at the same time helping to instill a sense of accomplishment. Additionally, this fun time allows for quality one-on-one time between adults and children.

In addition to the newly constructed project kit, each child receives a kid-sized orange apron, similar to The Home Depot associates' aprons, and an achievement pin.
__________________________________________________

Lowe's Guild & Grow Workshops

Saturday mornings, various projects.
_________________________________________________

Youth Days: Every Saturday from noon to 2pm is for youth ages 9–15 to work one–on–one with experienced MBC volunteers, either learning to repair their bicycle or building a bicycle if they do not already own one. Youth volunteers agree to help with projects and chores needed to maintain the Bike Collective equal to the amount of time they spend on their project. For example, a youth who spends thirty minutes repairing a flat tire could then help by patching a tire for one of the bicycles the Bike Collective intends to distribute. Further, a youth who spends eight hours building a bicycle for herself will have been spending 1 1/2 hours working on his bike and 1 1/2 hours working on a project for the Bike Collective each session for a total of 16 hours work. This process of encouraging “sweat equity” instills the value of the dollar in youth volunteers as well as the value in supporting production beyond their own consumption.  http://bikecollective.org/kids.html

The Wisconsin Humane Society's educational programming engages children in ways that are interactive and fun. Building a more humane community begins with our youngest citizens. Our programs help children grow into animal ambassadors who impact their peers in school and in their neighborhoods, creating real change. Using hands-on activities with help from animals at the shelter, children learn the importance of treating animals with care and compassion. We help children develop a lifelong interest in animals, a concern for their welfare and a clear sense of how they can make a difference.

Economic Seminar

Posted in Area Events
Dear homeschool families,
 
    Salt & Light speech and debate club would like to invite you to an economics/free market seminar to be held in Oak Creek, WI (located a few miles to the south of the Milwaukee airport) on Fri. Oct. 9th from 1:30-8:00 and Sat. Oct. 10th from 9:00-4:00.  This seminar is for students approximately 14 and up who are interested in learning about the free market system and limited government in a learning environment suited to young people.  The speakers for this seminar are Greg Rehmke, the author of Economics for Dummies, and Bruce Rottman, economics teacher who used to teach at Brookfield Academy right here in Milwaukee.  The Foundation for Economic Education provides these seminars to introduce students across the country to these valuable principles in the midst of this very interesting economic time. 
    We have attached the link to the Economic Thinking website which has information for homeschool families about how to educate your students in this discipline with valuable ideas and resources for your family including several free DVDs.  When you visit that website at www.economicthinking.org or click on the link below you can see the flyer for this seminar as well as click on the online registration.  The cost for this event is $20 for the first student and $10 for the second student in your family with a max per family of $30.00.  Parents are able to attend free.  In addition we will be providing pizza on Friday evening and sub sandwiches as part of the cost of this seminar. The cost of this seminar is largely subsidized by the Foundation for Economic Education who travels to provide students with these educational opportunities. 
    You can sign up and pay online or send your registration money to Jan Wahlen at 1601 College Ave. Racine, WI 53403.  Her email and phone for questions are kwahlen@wi.rr.com and her phone number is 262-994-1298.  If you have any questions of Mr. Rehmke, who puts these seminars on, his email is grehmke@aol.com.  He is happy to answer questions you may have.  Also, you can talk to a lot of us who attended last year to get a testimonial for how interesting this seminar was.  The only thing we want to mention is that we have limited space for the seminar so are asking you to leave your non-participating children at home if you are able to.  We do not have child care available for this event. 
     We hope to see many of you on October 9th!

truth of the Genesis account of Creation.  The flaws

of evolution, both secular and theistic, will be revealed,

but more importantly, the harmony between God’s

written Word and his magnificent world will be

confirmed.  All this will be built on the foundation

of Scriptural authority.
