Homeschool Curriculum Standards: Checklists to Print per Grade
Use printable curricula guide checklists to plan next year's course of study or evaluate as you go.
The following curriculum guides represent a typical course of study generalized across North America. Curriculum standards may also be referred to as "academic learning requirements" or "grade level expectations" depending on local terminology.Academic learning requirements do not dictate any particular teaching method or learning style. They simply provide general performance expectations for each grade level. Homeschool parents and children may meet performance expectations through any chosen course of study or educational method.

Arts and Craft Display Night
Hi Everyone!
Arts and Craft Display Night will be Monday, February 6th at Butte Creek Baptist in Eagle Point at 6:30!
Let me know if you can come and whether your child will need a whole 8 foot table or just half. We cannot tack anything on the walls, so those tri-fold display boards have worked well in the past and recycle nicely! We have had a great turnout in the past and it is always exciting to see what our talented and gifted children are doing! Also, we might want to consider having the children (if they are comfortable) presenting in front of the parents and friends.
It would be nice if there were snacks for everyone to munch on, and if we all brought a little something the burden would not be too great for any family. Please apprise us of any serious allergies, so those foods can be avoided.
In the future we can plan for:
March 5th - Geography Fair (pick a country and present facts about it and share a food from that place) hmm, food seems to be a common theme
April 2nd - Reading /Writing Fair (how can I incorporate food?) Maybe we could make something that is mentioned in the book, short story or poem? Speeches would be appropriate here too!
May 7th - Talent Show
June 4th - Pet Show? Maybe outside so we could bring our pets in the flesh instead of just writing about them!
I hope to hear from everybody! Blessings, Cathy 541-865-4370, anytime after 6AM or email at: cbeemer44@yahoo.com

Our purpose is to lead the home-centered education movement by equipping parents and students with the classical tools of learning needed to discover the order and beauty of God's creation and to inspire others to do the same.
We empower and support parents not only through our Classical Conversations Communities across the country but also through our specially designed CC Connected online community, Parent Practicums, and academic retreats. All of these services ultimately equip parents to educate their children with the classical tools of learning and a biblical worldview so that they might impact the world for God's glory.

PS Starting this month, Roller Odyssey has changed their group discount structure for the Christian music skate night. $4/skater is the lowest discount rate available due to the quad skates being included in the price.

Coming Soon: HSG FOR SALE/WANTED Monthly Bulletin
Recently, I asked if there was interest in a book or curriculum swap or a one-time "FOR SALE" bulletin going out the the homeschool community. One family suggested having something like this available all the time. I think this is a great idea, but I want to see what you think! We do have a few existing options here for buying/selling our usable homeschool items~
We will give this a try and see how it goes, so even if you don't have buy/sell items right now, please be sure to let me know if you want to see this continue!
Thanks,
Tika
- Professor Mom's offers used curriculum & homeschool supplies on consignment.

We will give this a try and see how it goes, so even if you don't have buy/sell items right now, please be sure to let me know if you want to see this continue!
