NOTE: Parents and/or an older teen sibling must stay with younger children and participate in the classes and fellowship time. This is not a drop off program. Parents may participate in classes as a participant, helper, 6 week class coordinator, or a one week leader. If you have children attending both classes at the same time please partner up with another mom or older teen – so your child is supervised. We will have a “toddler activity box” available in each classroom to help keep the little ones busy. There is no nursery available. Little ones are welcome to participate alongside parents - on their level of course!

TEACH Open House!

Tuesday, August 15 from 630-830pm at South Park pavillion
Come visit with TEACH families and learn about group programs at our annual Kick Off. Tables will be available for individuals to share activity information, sell curriculum, and sign up for TEACh membership! We are looking forward to an evening of fellowship! If you have friends interested in learning more about Christian homeschooling in the area, please share this information!  Werries cwaw4kids@att.net , Mays kellymays1@hotmail.com , Snyder qandhsnyder@yahoo.com

Homeschool Conference

I send this in an email to the group as well, but this at least has the date & web address if you're interested.. it's in Springfield.

A great way to spend an evening as a family!

This is now running in Nauvoo, Illinois.  Check the website for events & times!  We have never seen the pageant bc it doesn't begin til pretty late at night (for us) but we love the indoor demonstrations making rope, baking bread, spinning wool, making candles, etc. and the old fashioned county fair.  Mid-afternoon is the perfect time to go if you want to play in the children's area at the edge of the village, too - a little log cabin, schoolhouse, & games/dress-ups.

Sign up now for session 2 of Countryside Playschool summer session!

We still have room in our prek class for the second session - choose 1 or 2 days or call for drop in availability.  We meet from 10-1 on Wednesday & Friday through the first week of August. See countrysideplayschool.blogspot.com for pictures & info!

We have lots of outdoor time

Even some wildlife!

Art for every age

Cooking class on Wednesdays

Multi-age classrooms - just like real life!

High quality art materials mean better results.  They cost more than the Wal-Mart version but they're worth it!

Freedom to choose activities within a loose structure develops decision making skills as well as problem solving. Giving children responsibility with items like hot glue gluns & knives in the kitchen (with instruction & supervision!) builds confidence & independence.

TEACH Play & Picnic

Hey! Welcome to summer! Everyone is invited to come play and picnic at South Park on June 6th. We will meet around 11:00, have a picnic lunch, and just let the kids play while the adults visit!
Please invite anyone that is interested in our homeschool group activities. I hope that this park play date will be a great time to share information about TEACH and homeschooling in general.

- if the weather is nasty, stay home instead;)
