End of the Year Homeschool Fair - Saturday June 9th, 2012
Mark your calendars!
Have used homeschooling books you’d like to sell? Already thinking about next year and would like to shop for books and materials without paying shipping costs? Want to discuss a group learning idea or field trip opportunity?
Come on out to the 2nd Annual End of the Year Homeschool Fair
When: Saturday June 9th – 11am to 5pm
Where: Holy Covenant Church basement (1426 Alexandra Avenue, Saskatoon)
We will follow a similar format for used book sales that is used at the annual SHBE convention. If you would like to sell used books, please e-mail me (Kayla) at klarc.hunt@gmail.com – I’ll send you an identification number to put on your books. We won’t charge commission, but volunteers are welcome to help with the sale, particularly for set up and clean up.
Last year we had a discussion time for about an hour to talk about field trip opportunities and group learning experiences. I think we’ll plan to have this discussion time around 3-4pm so there will still be time for some used book shopping afterwards. If you cannot attend, but have information you would like to share, please contact me.

Painted Lady Butterfly Larvae
Many of you have asked me if I will be ordering butterfly larvae this year and indeed I will be. HOWEVER, it is a lot of work, and I am reaching out for a helper to come to my house and help divide up the larvae into the individual vials to be ready for pick up, on the day they arrive. If anyone might be able to spare a couple of hours during the day nearing the middle or end of May, please let me know.
If anyone would like to order, I will be taking orders now. You must order larvae in multiples of 5. They are $2 each and come with their own food source and I will give you instructions on their care from larvae to chrysalis to butterfly. It is quite easy and a wonderful spring project! Please email me at hoylingj at shaw dot ca and put "butterfly" in the subject line if you would like to order or have any questions!
Thank you!

THINK. STUDY. SPEAK. DEBATE. WHY NOT?
There are countless skills students learn in debate. While people generally think that debate is only for those interested in legal or political careers, the whole process of preparing for a debate and debating provides such a learning and growth experience for any student. Between the research on current issues and underlying issues and then developing thinking skills, public speaking and debating strategy, a student has a real opportunity to grow and gain skills that can enable him or her to find and have a voice and impact their community. You will never be the same in confidence and your ability to assess world affairs and research viewpoints on both sides of a topic.
Saskatoon Home Educated Debaters (SHED) meet once a week on Wednesday mornings from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m.. Homeschooled Students in Grade 5-12 are invited to join the club. The club participates in tournaments sponsored by the Saskatchewan Elocution and Debate Association.
FIRST CLUB MEETING IS ON WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 2011.
For more information, contact Melissa Ong at elevenongs@yourlink.ca or 653-4030.

Piano Lessons in Parkridge
I am an experienced piano teacher who instructs all ages, beginners to advanced, in my home near the Shaw Centre. “It is my goal to teach students in the way they learn best in the style of music they prefer, inspiring them to become competent players, so that the enjoyment of music will last a lifetime.” Playing styles include: basic fundamentals for beginner students, classical piano and theory, popular piano, chording, contemporary worship and hymn playing. RCM examinations, Music Festival and recital participation is encouraged.
I have taught numerous homeschoolers who have completed RCM exams for high school credits and special projects. In my experience, I have observed that homeschoolers have an advantage, in that piano practicing becomes part of their daily routine during their prime learning time. For this reason, it is also beneficial for them to take daytime lessons. Daytime and evening lesson times are available. There is a family tuition rate: the 3rd family member receives a 10% discount. You may contact me at 384-3808 or ol.cr@sasktel.net.

KIDS' TREK UPDATE!
At the Homeschool Fair on May 26th, I will have more information about the future of Kids' Trek and I hope that I can find several exploration-oriented families to join us on our next journey. Our next journey will be the big one originally planned for this summer and will include stops at the following cities: Ottawa, Niagara Falls, Quebec City, Moncton, Halifax and your choice of PEI or St. John's. This will take place starting in late June, 2012, and we have two families firmly committed, looking for more. The goal of this 'travel club' is to explore our country together and learn about the people and places across Canada first-hand. I've already seen how much my son has benefitted from our trip to Quebec City this past winter.
Kids have a great time travelling with family but sometimes, for a longer journey, travelling with other kids is the best part. You can come as a whole family or as an individual; no unaccompanied minors however, at least one parent or guardian needs to accompany children under 18 (unless you can argue your point well!). Kids of ANY age are welcome and I would love to have a wide variety of ages join us.
The agenda would include time for scheduled field trips (such as trips to the Fortress at Louisbourg, the Hopewell Rocks, Villages Vacances Valcartier, etc) as well as attractions local to the communities we stop in (heritage parks, historic sites, museums, natural wonders, hiking). Nothing is mandatory and if you and your family wish to go alone to someplace of your own choosing while we are there, that is just fine!
This travel club will be officially created as a non-profit as soon as we can and we will be actively seeking community sponsorship and doing a fair amount of fundraising to make this journey possible at the lowest cost. Right now, travel, accommodations, and most activities still look like about $2500 per person (utilizing group rates, hostels, homestays, and including all flights and train travel), but that can be significantly reduced by sponsorship and fundraising. This is not a family holiday; it is a group educational experience where you have the freedom to choose which activities you and your family would like to participate in.
The long-term goal of this travel club is to engage in travel to a different part of Canada each year, depending on what the group's interests are, to facilitate a generation of kids with a broader understanding of the people and places that make up our very large country.
If you would like more information or want to join us, please email me at clmquintin@gmail.com.
Homeschool families from any part of Canada are welcome to join us.
Thanks!

Kids Trek is in Quebec City!
Please have a look at our blog here: http://kidstrek.blogspot.com/?spref=fb as we make our way through Quebec City. Unfortunately, the large trip as originally planned is no longer an option this year. We initially had more than twenty people interested but that has dwindled to only Morgan and myself. Undaunted, we changed our plans and went to Carnavale in Quebec City, and are blogging our experiences. We hope that by reading about the things we do that you will decided to join us for the larger trip out to Halifax and points in between, which is now rescheduled to summer 2012. It's fun to travel with family, but it is more fun for the kids to travel with friends :) We are learning so much about the history of Quebec and Canada, and having a great time doing it. If you are interested in joining the journey next year, this is the same blog that parents and students can contribute to during that journey. Please email me at clmquintin@gmail.com if you want more information. The more people, the less expensive the journey, as we can get group rates, sponsorship, and of course do fundraising.
Thanks,
Carol-Lynne

Ukulele ("The Little Guitar") . . . For Children !
|
Your child may wish to play guitar, but is too young or too small . . . get him or her started on the ukulele!
"The Little Guitar" (ukulele) . . . a unique group music experience for children 4 to 8 years old !!
Imagine a campfire, with kids singing and strumming on their guitars . . . now picture smaller guitars!
Here's feedback from one parent:
Thanks again for creating this unique and enjoyable program!
Our son was always anxious to attend and we feel he really thrived within the
group dynamic. His skills as a showman have started to develop as a result
of his participation and I feel his comfort with the instrument assisted in
his smooth transition to guitar.
"The Little Guitar" will help children:
- develop their ear
- explore their creativity
- build confidence
"The Little Guitar"
. . . a fun, easy method that will pave the road
for future musical journeys!
** Quality instruction from a certified music educator !!

Happy fall everyone!
My name is Jacinda and I have a mobile paint-it-yourself pottery business called Glazed Over Ceramics. I have a website to view all the pieces that I carry as well as prices. You can view them at http://www.glazedoverceramics.caI bring the ceramic/pottery painting experience to your location or event - complete with whatever pieces you like, all the glazes, palettes, brushes etc. and look after all the clean-up. I also have access to an 8 ft table and chairs. After the class, I take everything back to my kiln where it is clear glazed and fired and then dropped back off to you in a week. I can offer a workshop atmosphere where I can teach the children a glazing technique or they can simply have free creative flow with their piece. This is such a fun activity and the kids love to see their fired pieces! All pieces are food and dishwasher-safe.
Call me at 381-6220 or email at jacinda@glazedoverceramics.ca to book. Please allow a min of 2 weeks notice to book.
Piano Lessons
My name is Samantha Loewen, I am 25 years old and have been teaching piano in Saskatoon since 2007. I am currently working on completing my RCM Grade 8 Certification, and will be taking the exam this June.
I typically teach students from the Piano Adventures series, by Faber & Faber, but I am open to using different programs and techniques as each student is individual and will respond to different learning methods differently.
My charge is $12 per half hour lesson, plus books. I enjoy teaching piano immensely, and am hoping to increase the number of students I teach next year by opening up to teaching during the day. I hope to eventually teach piano exclusively. Please contact me for more information, or to register for the fall!
