KINDERGARTEN/ELEMENTARY NEED-TO-KNOWS
Kindergarten is an exciting year! Mostly for the parents who have been eagerly awaited the time when they begin a more formal learning time of diving in deeper into areas of interest. But you may also be wondering if you might ruin your child’s learning ability forever. You won’t, you can’t! Come with your questions and allow us to share the various methods of approaching teaching. We wish to send you on your way with a quiet confidence and a bubbing excitement towards these fun and precious first years.
RECORDS AND REPORTS MADE SIMPLE
Each home school has a distinct method of daily record keeping, portfolio creation and reporting style.... And we each continually seek to create a more streamline, effective system. Learn how to save time, space and money while being organized and legally accountable in fulfilling your administrative requirements. Join us to discuss, examine and share variuos methods.
NEW TO HOMESCHOOLING
Beginning home centered education-- at Kindergarden or leaving a traditional system-- comes with a slew of possibilities. The world is suddenly your school and school is suddenly your world! But this comes with SC legal requirements, curriculum planning, record keeping and a slew of what-if's and how-do-I's! Experienced insight and suggestions are always appreciated in addressing these aspects of home school. We want to strengthen committment and confidence through exploring wether you are simply placing school in your kitchen, how you can teach effectively with pre-schoolers and babies and what it means to nurture a soul towards becoming a lifelong thinker and learner versus simply creating a product to be measured. Confidence in understanding your legal responsibilities while trusting in your own gifts and abilities make a valued difference in every homeschool.
MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL NEED TO KNOWS
Traditional school may seem to be a very appealing option during these years of transition from childhood to adulthood, but through prayer listen to find confirmation and strengthening that you will be equipped for all things God calls you to. Together we will share routines and resources that can help your middle and high school years run smoothly as your little ones become independent thinkers and learners through their questions, arguments and debates. High school brings on Next-Level-Fears of it's own: What courses does your highschooler need? Are you equipped to create courses, tests, assignments? How do you grade and what is a weighted grade? We will help you understand the state’s requirements and provide you with a road map to navigate grading, transcripts, testing, electives through an academically strong four-year plan. Come discover the edge that homeschooling through high school gives your child and how to share this with prospective colleges.
