Hey everyone, next week is our November meeting - 11th at 6:30 pm.
Topic is discussion of teaching methods.
Great night for new home schooling families to attend.
Many times the kids are going faster than the curriculum we purchased or slower than. In home schooling that is the blessing. We can speed up or slow down on each subject. They aren't trapped in a one grade one style fits all classroom.
So lets discuss how you handle this and most of all how to handle it with what you have and not have to buy more and more curriculum.
Our group is blessed to have parents who have been home schooling awhile. We can learn from each other and it can be easier to face the situations when there is someone to ask.
So see you next week Wednesday.
blessings, Terry C

Thanks to the DUMC
Well, as you know we've been planning a thank you to the church where we hold our meetings. They have never charged us for using their facilities. We have our Christmas dinners in their kitchen/Fellowship Hall. We use their heat during the cold months of winter. We get to hold co-op classes there whenever we want. They are so generous.
So the plan is to sing a couple songs and to do the Lords Prayer in sign language with the church. The date for this is Sunday, October, 25th. That is this Sunday. I hope you all can come. We've been practicing. We need to be practicing at home as well. I'll see you at practice this Friday and we'll then go to the service at 10 am on Sunday.

Please Pray
It seems we have made so much progress and grown so strong in the Lord. The enemy feels the need to attack and attack hard. (HSLDA) So as Christians we know the answer is MORE PRAYER.
Read the following and keep them in your prayers as well as all home schooling families and all of those brave and strong in the Lord who fight for God and (us) daily.

Prayers for Chris Klicka and his Family
You may not know how different things would be now if he hadn't fought for us. Many of us have been so richly blessed by the work he has done for home schooling. His fight with MS has led him to the hospital (far away from home) and he and his family should be in our thoughts and prayers. As they assemble around him to say good bye. He is an example of faithfulnes to God.
I have heard him speak once and it was a great experience for me. He is inspiring. He never gives up (and he has faced so many difficulties with his health). He always trusts in the Lord. His books are great reading if you haven't yet. Very intelligent man.
He is such an inspiration as a Christian even without what he's done for home schooling. He is a husband and father of 7. When we talk about doing Gods work and following the path God has for us. I pray to be able to do my part. Chris Klicka has.
