January Monthly Meeting

 

*THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELED DUE TO INCLEMENT WEATHER*

Our next support group meeting is on January 9 from 6 to 8 pm at Evangelical Methodist Church. This is going to be a fun evening that you won’t want to miss. Our topic will be New Year: Bang or Fizzle? We trust that our discussion on this fun-filled evening will help those of us who need a little help to Bounce Back from Burnout! Although the Board members will be prepared to share, we are asking you to come prepared to share as well. Perhaps you can share your story about how you have had to adjust your curriculum (or your expectations) in your homeschool. Or, you could share with the group how you have tweaked your curriculum to make it work for your student/s. You could even bring up a problem you are having in your homeschool, and we could brainstorm together to help you find some fresh ideas. We will be monitoring the time so that everyone who wants to share has the opportunity!

If you have a question that you would like to see the group discuss, please email it to theahslteachers@gmail.com, and we will add it to the topic list for the evening.

October Monthly Meeting

 

S.O.S... Save Our Sanity...Save Our (Home)School...Sharing Our (Best) Tips...

However, you look at it, our October Support meeting is going to be a helpful - and fun - evening for everyone. Be sure to mark your calendars and come join us on October 10. The meeting will be a round table discussion, which continues to be a popular event here at AHSL. We plan to tackle some challenging topics like:

"Help! I just started homeschooling and I have QUESTIONS!!!" "Help! I have a high school student, and I need to think about transcripts and record keeping??" "Help, I have more than one student! How do I teach them all?" "Help! I've heard about dual enrollment, but don't know where to begin!" And many other questions will be discussed as well. 

As you can see, we'll be discussing questions that many in our group have pondered. WE WANT YOU to come if you are able. Seasoned homeschoolers can offer a lot of insight to those of us with more questions than answers. New members to AHSL have a super opportunity to get some answers to those niggling questions as well as meet some new friends.

Our evening meetings are open to the public, so this is a perfect time to invite your friends who are not AHSL members to come visit us. Children need to be with you or in the child-care room. If you do plan to leave your children with the child-care crew, please consider leaving a donation in the basket. (We suggest $1 per child)
