One week from today, you can attend a FREE homeschool conference from the comfort of your home! The sessions will be uploaded at 5:00 each morning for you to watch throughout the day. It begins with a Keynote from Heidi St. John, and then each day has a specific focus:

Monday: God-Centered Parents
Tuesday: God-Centered Teaching
Wednesday: God-Centered Curriculum
Thursday: God-Centered Calling

Only if Jesus is our foundation and focus in everything will our homeschools stand firm through the storm. Hear from inspiring speakers during each day of this event to equip you for the marathon of Christian home education.

And guess what? If you can't tune in each day next week, there is a very affordable option to purchase an all-access pass. Shop discounted products in the exhibit hall, and receive a swag bag of gifts from speakers and sponsors!

Sign up for this online conference right here, and refresh your homeschooling vision: https://zb362.isrefer.com/go/centered2/nickitruesdell/

I am currently teaching a Creative Writing class in my home. These students had to write their own commercials then got to perform them in our little recording studio. They are so creative and funny. The girls had a blast!

Students are starting to sign up for our fall classes. Some spots are still available for you to choose your preferred day for certain classes. We have also adjusted our discounts for students taking two or more classes and for sibling groups. Our email is on the website.

Check out this latest podcast with Liberty McArtor. She is interviewing Brant Hansen regarding anger and offenses. It is a timely subject for me right now and I was really convicted. If you haven't heard Brant speak or read any of his books, you should check him out as well.

Why Know Why? Maybe you were raised in church and want to know if there is a reason behind the things you were taught to believe. Maybe you aren’t religious at all, but you’re interested in different perspectives on morality. No matter where you’re coming from, it’s not enough to know what p...

Look at the differences between a typical preschool child’s hand (left) and a typical 7 year old hand (right). Want to know why a preschool aged child isn’t able to write yet? This is why! Their hands are still developing and are not fully formed. So what should they be doing to support this? PLAY!! Playdough, colouring, cutting, gluing, playing outside, digging in dirt, sensory play, dress up play, science experiments, beading, puzzles, throwing balls, etc. All of these things help their hands develop. When they are physically ready to write, they will! No need to rush them, they will show you when they are ready!

Happy Flag Day - Today is the anniversary of the adoption on June 14, 1777, by the Continental Congress of the Stars and Stripes as the official flag of the United States of America.

Practice handwriting with Star Spangled Banner cursive copywork! There are 10 pages total, including the history behind the song. Copy work and graphics are formatted so that pages may be hole-punched and put in a binder.

Students may choose to write directly on the pages or copy it onto notebook paper. This is perfect for Flag Day or a greater study of the War of 1812 or American History.

After talking to a family with multiple ages recently I realized there might be a need for a small coop that would cost zero dollars. It would mainly be for families that have multiple ages. I thought we could see if there were about 3 or 4 families that would coop together for school. Basically one family would keep the toddlers/ pre-k kids at their house. Another would take the early elementary kids at their house, another the middle school, etc. It could be a Monday, Tues., Wednesday type model. The other days each family has their own kids at home to work on any homework assignments, reinforce what they have been working on, etc. If that is something you are interested in, please comment with child's age/grade and which grades you prefer to work with. It could also be a month by month commitment. That way everyone can see how the program is working/not working, etc. It would especially be helpful for someone who just needs a break in routine for a couple months, etc. It might turn out to be ideal for the school year. Anyway, just throwing out some thoughts. The one family I know that is interested is in Gainesville.
