Hello all,

I hope everyone is having a safe and fun summer! I just wanted to drop you all a line about our homeschool programming that will start up again in the fall. I’ve already heard from someone who is planning the upcoming year’s calendar so I wanted to give everyone the heads up.

In an effort to support our mission, in partnership with Christian parents, The King’s Christian School, a K-12 , non-denomination, college preparatory School, equips and strengthens students, through education and example, that they might stand firmly upon the Word of God and become effective servant-leaders who impact the world through their Christian walk, would like to partner with Christian parents who desire to homeschool for part of the day and enroll their children at King’s for a part of the day. Home school students, grades 4-12, may enroll at The King’s Christian School following the home school policy stated in the course selection guide.
 

Please note that the Christian Classical/Charlotte Mason Coop is not associated with Living Water Enrichment.

There will be a meeting on Thursday, May 13th at 6:30 pm at the Evesham Library in Marlton concerning the start of a classical/Charlotte Mason coop.  This meeting  will discuss a variety of topics including curriculum, mission/vision, personal costs and parent involvement.  Of note, this coop will begin in September 2010 and will be held on Wednesdays in Moorestown.  All interested families are welcome to attend this forum.  If you cannot attend the meeting but would like to learn more, email either Joy Dozier (joydozier@comcast.net) or Nancy Chin (nancychinaglia@yahoo.com) for further details.  Thank you.

Hello All,

I hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful weather! Cedar Run’s upcoming May 13th homeschool programs are as follows:

Ages 6+:
·  10 a.m.-1 p.m. (w/30 min. lunch)
·  Water, Water Everywhere: Where does your water come from? Is there enough to go around? Is our water at the Refuge healthy? Find out through observation and experimentation as we explore.
·  Please wear boots as we will be looking for macroinvertebrates in Cedar Run Lake. Be prepared to get a little wet and/or muddy if weather permits.

Ages 3-5:
·  10-11:30 a.m.
·  Animal Rescue Rangers: What do animal doctors do? Learn when and how to help wild animals. We will use games, stories, crafts, and more!

If you have children in both age groups we ask that you stay with the younger child. After their program is finished you are welcome to join us for lunch and complete the older program with us.

As usual the price is $7.00 per child and we ask that you sign-up in advance. I have attached the registration form for you to fill out and return by mail with your payment, or bring it with your payment on the day of the program. I hope to see some of you there!

Dear Families,

We’re now half-way through my first Fernbrook Farms Homeschool semester and although the weather has been erratic everything is going well and I’ve enjoyed meeting many of the families.  As we plan for spring, I have some questions about how we might schedule and prepare an upper-level (ages 12-14) curriculum of classes.  I know that Tara and Eric held an upper-level class in the fall and some of you have been asking about when we will do it again.  As I continue to learn and get used to all the wonderful programs at Fernbrook, I want to make sure we have the time and resources to plan a class that would be a fun and beneficial learning experience for you, our Fernbrook families.  So I would greatly appreciate your input and advice to help move forward with a decision on upper-level classes and, if there is enough interest, how to create the best possible curriculum.

Here are the upcoming homeschool programs for April 8th:

Ages 3-5: Knee High Naturalists-Over in the Meadow.
10:00-11:30am
Learn about the different animals and insects that live in grasses, ponds, and meadows.

Ages 6+: Pinelands Ecology
10:00am-1:00pm (w/lunch)
Learn about Pinelands plants and animals as we explore the Refuge. Discover the difference between our uplands and wetlands areas.

Please let me know if you are able to attend. Click here for the registration form. 

See you then!
