*******************
DETAILS:
* Gena Suarez will kick off the night with
her Well-Integrated Homeschool presentation. In the Well-Integrated
Homeschool, Gena goes over the numerous
ways to achieve a relaxed mindset while homeschooling. Homeschooling
should never be a chore! A laid back, joyful homeschool is a realistic,
long-lasting homeschool. Long term is the goal, and Gena encourages families
to stick with their commitment to home educate their children all the
way through. After sharing a brief, panoramic view of the history of
both compulsory and private education (parent-based vs. institutional-enforced)
Gena offers some compelling strategies to help families "lighten
up" and help their children enjoy learning as much as life itself.
* Harvey and Laurie Bluedorn will share with the audience a little
bit about what homeschooling was like in the late 70's and early
80's, along
with their thoughts on Ten Things to Do With Your Child Before Age
Ten.
Harvey and Laurie Bluedorn began homeschooling their children in 1980
and have given workshops on homeschooling and classical education for
support groups
and at conventions across the country. Their publishing company, Trivium
Pursuit, produces books and curricula to help parents use classical
education in their
homeschool. The Bluedorns live in New Boston, Illinois, and can be reached
by visiting their web site www.triviumpursuit.com.
* To wrap up the evening, Gena, Laurie, Harvey, and Gena's husband Paul, will open up the floor for a Q&A time. Past audiences have really enjoyed the opportunity to ask questions and to get to know the speakers even better.
Don't miss this night of encouragement and insight from these leaders in today's homeschooling world!
There will be opportunities for door prizes, including a subscription to The Old Schoolhouse Magazine and book giveaways by the Bluedorns!!
No admission will be charged, but a love offering will be taken to offset travel and production costs. (No childcare will be provided for this event.)
