Living Lessons: Learning from Everyday Life and the Occasional Field Trip
Thursday, September 4 at 7:00pm
River Valley Church 405 NE Sixth Street, Grants Pass OR, Family Center A

Wondering how to get the most out of your homeschooling experience? Lessons don't have to begin and end sitting around the kitchen table. Thankfully, homeschooling is a lifestyle that allows for learning opportunities wherever you go. Learn to expand your classroom to the world around you! Plus, you'll also learn how to plan a field trip from start to finish.

Tika Weeks, of The HS Gathering of Southern Oregon, homeschools her 2 boys and has taught classes and workshops to children and adults for over 20 years. From arts and crafts, to science and history, Tika is always looking for ways to combine subjects and take learning outside of the box and walls of her home.

JCHE Meeting Topic: DIFFERENT STYLES OF HOMESCHOOL EDUCATION

JCHE Meeting Topic: DIFFERENT STYLES OF HOMESCHOOL EDUCATION

 

The JCHE meeting nights are the 3rd MONDAY of each month. The meetings are at 7:00 p.m. at West Main Church of Christ in Medford (cross street Columbus, near Blackbird Store). Childcare will be available.

The September meeting will be held on Monday, September 17th at 7:00 p.m. at West Main Church of Christ. This year at the meetings we will be focusing of the practical aspects of home education.

For this first meeting, the topic will be a panel of moms sharing about different styles of homeschool education, such as Unit Studies, Textbooks, Online Curriculum, Unschooling, Eclectic, and Classical, with examples of each.

So if you have ever wondered what a Unit Study looks like, or what subjects are studied in Classical education, come on out on Monday evening!

For other months, we will focus on choosing books and curriculum in specific subjects, such as Language Arts, History, Science, and Math, with hands on examples and live reviews of what various families use in their home school.

We encourage you to attend and meet other home educators! There will also be a time for new home schoolers to meet with Don if you have any questions! For more information, contact Therese at 541-826-3560 or email therese@jchenews.org.
