NDCHEA Meetings for 2013-2014

September 10 – Vision for the Future.  How long will you continue homeschooling?  Are you equipped to school through high school?  Kirstin English will lead the group in evaluating and accomplishing our long-term goals.  Bring a Bible.

October 8 - Fellowship.  Is your year off to a great start or do you need some encouragement?  Do you have questions or concerns?  Fellowship meetings are times for us to discuss problems, rejoice in successes, and ask questions of each other. 

November 12- Learning Glitches – Sometimes, super smart kids must work very hard to learn.  Lisa Cox will discuss common learning "glitches" and teach some simple exercises that help to correct symptoms such as letter reversals, reading fluency, and crazy spelling patterns. (From Dianne Craft, right-brain, and Orton-Gillingham techniques).  A love offering will be taken. 

December 10- Fellowship

January 14- Not of the world, but sent into it (John 17:15-18)    How do we balance being sent into the world, but not being of it?  This meeting will be a roundtable discussion about practical ways to protect our children, yet prepare them for the real world. 

February 11- Fellowship

March 11- Homeschooling: Yes, You can!  This meeting is open to all who are wondering what homeschooling is, how it is actually done, and if it might be an option for them.  Please spread the word to those who might be interested. 

April 8- Fellowship

May 13- Training Godly Habits and Manners. – The Bible emphasizes how a man’s character reveals his master.  Good character does not save a man, but it does indicate a changed heart.  We have a responsibility to train our children’s character just as much as we ensure academic success.  Come to this meeting ready to share ideas and tips on character training.
