Hello THX family!
Wow, this break has certainly been interesting, bitterweet to say the least. Shelley had her sweet baby and my sweet dad went to live in heaven with our precious Lord Jesus. In the midst of all our ups and downs, life here on earth marches on and so does school.
Hopefully, you have already received the message that Monday classes will not resume until January 9. We made this decision since some husbands have off on Monday due to the holiday being Sunday. Because of this, the Monday classes will be extended to May 7. (The original end date was April 30). This ONLY applies to Monday classes. TUESDAY/THURSDAY classes will still resume on JANUARY 3.
The schedule for the 2nd Quarter of Monday classes is as follows:
9 - 9:10 am - Arrive, Sign in, meet and greet*
9:10 - 9:25 am - Proverbial Way**
9:25 - 10:25 am - Nursery (Newborn-2), Preschool (3-4 year olds), Art (5-7 year olds),
History (8-12 year olds), Servanthood (13-up), Mom’s Connect
10:25 - 10:35 am - Break
10:35 - 11:35 - Nursery (Newborn-2), Preschool (3-4 year olds), Science (5-7 year
olds), Art (8-12 year olds), Writing (13-up), Mom’s volunteer time
11:35 - 12:30 - Nursery (Newborn-2), Lunch/Recess (Preschool & 5-7 year olds),
History (8-12 year olds), Life Skills (13-up), Mom’s volunteer time
12:30 - 1:25 - Nursery (Newborn-2), Preschool (3-4 year olds), History (5-7 year olds)

Since Cris is now teaching Writing, I will be the Class Manager. We have also added monthly meetings which will include the dads. They will be held the third Saturday of each month from 4 - 7 pm starting January 21. Please mark your calendars as these meetings will be informative and as always, fun - you will NOT want to miss them! We will have a potluck dinner, an interactive game (fun for the whole family), and, the most important part - a parent chat time (during this time the kids will be supervised and have their own activity)
The meetings will be held at May River Baptist Church.
Also, I would like to get a group (hopefully all of us) to go to Greenville, SC for the annual Homeschool Convention on March 22 - 24. Not only do they have great speakers, but they have a children’s conference, teen conference and even marriage seminar. Go to www.SouthEastHomeschoolConvention.com to find out more. In NY we would always get a bunch of us to go and we would have a blast as well as help each other pick out curriculums for the following school year.
I will be sending the syllabi out for each class this coming week.
Have a great New Year and can’t wait to see you all!
Cyndy
