Our First 2009-2010 Meeting is Coming Soon

You are warmly invited to kick off the school year with the Whole Hearted Home Educators’ Chocoholics Extravaganza on Tuesday, Sept. 15. The evening will feature a much requested discussion on how to plan and schedule your homeschool day, led by Christine Gayfer, home educating mother of 6 children ranging from 17 months to 15 years old. Christine, a popular speaker at the KWCHEA conference, has “a passion to encourage moms that the CM method is wonderful and doable in the midst of their busy lives”.

We will also be introducing this year’s wonderful book, When Children Love to Learn, by briefly discussing Chapter 1. As always, our extensive resource library will provide you with an abundance of the best materials available to support you as a homeschooler.

This year promises to be an exciting one, as we add in breakaway sessions for those who are home educating highschoolers. Eleven years ago, our group began to pursue a vision of educating our children at home in a way that would create a love for learning, rich in good literature and ideas, using the Charlotte Mason approach. This year, we want to explore how to do that with our highschoolers. How can we prepare our children in these final years of home educating in such a way that they can gain entrance to the future of their choice without losing their love for learning? How can we prepare our teens to be world changers who have been equipped for the purposes to which they have been called?

Our goal is to provide a stimulating evening in which home educators with children of all ages will be able to come away with fresh vision and skills. We wrap it all in a welcoming atmosphere with lovely refreshments to give a special night out to all of you deserving home educating mothers.
