JCHE's History Day 3/15

JCHE HISTORY DAY - "CHARGED UP

ELECTRICITY CHANGED THE WORLD!"

Mark your calendars for Friday, March 15th for our next History Day! We are hard at work putting together a

day to learn together about "Charged Up - Electricity Changed the World!". This will be done the same way as

we have in the past with families attending and going through learning stations, and sharing a pot luck lunch

together. It will be from 9:00 a.m. until about 1:30 p.m. at West Main Church of Christ, on Friday, March 15th.

The cost is $5.00 per family for JCHE subscribers and $10.00 per non - subscriber families. All family members

are invited to attend, but the stations will be geared to Kindergarten and up.

For this History Day, we are asking that each family do a one page report on any inventor, from any time

period, including a picture of the person and of the invention. It can be as simple as one paragraph, or more

detailed. Then we will let everyone attending know the number of families involved and we will have you

bring that many copies of your "report". During our history day, one of the coordinators will compile the

"reports" chronologically into a folder for each family to take home. When you register, let us know who you

would like to report on so we don't have any duplicates.

The schedule will be as follows:

8:30 - 9:00: Check in; go to sanctuary

9:00: Welcome, overview of topic, split into 4 groups

9:30 - 10:00: Rotation #1

10:15 - 10:45: Rotation #2

11:00 - 11:30: Rotation #3

11:45 - 12:15: Rotation #4

12:30 - 1:30: Lunch, receive your folders with copies of everyone's reports, dismissal.

At Stations #1-3, we will have a time line for each family to complete during the presentations. At Station #4,

each family will have a few minutes to share about their inventor.

We will also be having a potluck lunch. For the lunch we are asking each family to bring a dish from either

their inventor's time period or country of origin. Write up a 3x5 card about what the dish is and the inventor's

name. JCHE will provide the beverages, fruit, extra sandwiches, plus paper goods.

We strongly encourage you to register early, as these have been very popular days in the past! Space is limited

and filling up fast! And you must pre-register by Tuesday, March 12th! We only have a few spaces left!

To register, email Therese at thoehne@dcwisp.net or call 541-826-3560. I will need your name, number and

ages of the children attending, phone number, email address, and the name of the inventor you will be

reporting on. You may do one inventor per family, or your children may each do one. You may prepay or

pay at the door
