I enjoyed Cindy Rushton’s last seminar so much I wanted to tell you about her seminar coming up this weekend. It’s called “Does Homeschooling Through High School Scare You?” Her workshops are live chats and a web site with links to articles and lots of info that you can have access to in the future. Here’s what she says about it:

Want to homeschool–but wonder about what to do about High School? Do you want practical, real-life, proven ideas for teaching throughout the high school years? Or, maybe you could just use a big dose of encouragement? Real help is available from real homeschool moms who guarantee to help you to homeschool the easy way through the high school years.
There are two ways to enjoy it. You can attend live for F*R*E*E. That’s right. It’s free to attend live and get in on all the great door prizes and goodies she gives away. Or you can buy a ticket. This will give you access to the recorded audio, chat transcriptions, spacial giveaways and lots more from the membership site.
It would be a good thing to attend even if you don’t have kids in high school yet. We are all looking to the future and her seminar may be just what you need to hear.

Hey Anna-Marie! ( :
I am so behind on getting back to you on your question about Reformation Day costume ideas – we have had lots of company over the last few weeks. I know it is too late this year but I thought I would recommend some good books that you could be on the lookout for to use next year. The first was a bit pricey but well worth it: ‘A Night of Reformation’ by Pam Forster. She shares some very simple ideas for costumes and the book is loaded with great ideas for celebrating and studying the Reformation in depth. The other book that I really liked for some cute period craft, food and costume idea to make is called ‘The Days of Knights and Damsels’ by Laurie Carlson (in fact she has a lot of great historical activity books). I found this one at our library and used many ideas from it.
I also wanted to thank you again for another great book recommendation – ‘Alternatives to Worksheets’ is awesome! I have been inspired to bring so much of these ideas into our school and my kids can’t quit looking through it as well! They were so excited with the ideas that they have started many projects from it all on their own accord! ( : Just wanted to say thanks again for another great book recommendation.
Warmly,
Mandi
Thanks for the tip! Not sure I can make it, but I’ll check it out!
