“Starting with a Clean Slate”

Kick-Off Meeting! Monday, August 18th, 7-9 pm

The Chapel - Wadsworth Campus (1391 State Rd) room 204

 

“This year I will be more organized...”

“This year I will make it fun...”

“This year I won’t yell...”

“This year we WILL do math drills...”

“This year we will start earlier...”

“This year we will not wear pajamas...” etc...

 What are you telling yourself about this school year? Having goals as we begin the year is vital and healthy. It means we are striving to do our best at this exciting task God has allowed us to carry out. Going to public school, the first day was filled with newness. Usually, your new teacher didn’t know about your past successes and failures. You had a clean slate to start from.

We all need that once in awhile.

As you set your goals for the year and fill in your schedule, keep in mind that this year is new. It is your chance to rid your school of the things that didn’t work and fill it with things that do. You have a clean slate to work from.

Hopefully, you can come to the meeting on Monday and hear more about how to start each day new and how to encourage your children to make the most of this school year.

 

Lamentations 3:22-23(ESV) The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.

January Meeting

It's been a long time since we've had a regular monthly meeting (since October!).

We have these monthly meetings to give ourselves a chance to get around others who are in the same boat as us – the Home Education boat. True, we have different styles, curriculums and students, but we share the same goal – to teach our children well. There is so much we can learn from each other and so many ways we can encourage each other. I hope you can come!

Kingdom Way Homeschoolers Monthly Meeting

Monday, January 21st from 7-9 pm in room 204

The Chapel – Wadsworth, 1391 State Road, Wadsworth, OH

TOPIC: HOW DO YOU MEASURE SUCCESS?

 

Traditionally in school, success is measured by scores. In homeschooling, where character and attitude can matter as much as academics, do we measure differently? I look forward to an interesting discussion as we share how we evaluate and award our children for their hard work.

If you have never been to one of our monthly meetings, here is what to expect:

7:00 – 7:15 pm social time, get nametags, look at sign ups

7:15 – 7:30 pm brief devotion related to homeschooling, prayer

7:30 – 8:00 pm business – this is kept SHORT because we try not to do anything that can be accomplished through the yahoo group. What we will do is answer questions and discuss needed topics and new business.

8:00 – 8:45 pm topic/discussion/social. This varies month to month, the purpose is to get encouraged in a specific area of homeschooling life.

8:45 – 9:00 pm curriculum and resource share – we leave some time at the end to share resources

 

* If you did not pick up your directory at the Jay Wile meeting in November, I will have them on Monday!

* Many of us head over to Applebee's after the meeting for some additional social time...all are welcome! (1/2 price appetizers!)
