School pictures

Attention for those who wish to have school pictures:

Steven Hertzog Of Creative Road Studio (formerly Linwood Road Studio) has again agreed to take school pictures for TEACH. However, the photo shoot will take place with Veritas Christian School on  Thursday, September 20th from 9:00- 11:00 am in the gymnasium at Veritas 256 N. Michigan Street, Lawrence 66044. The gymnasium is through the double doors of the main building.

There are a few changes this year. Since the homeschool photos will occur between Veritas classes, there may be a short wait. Steven is asking for the names of all who will have their picture taken ahead of time. Please email Cathy Barfield no later than September 13th. The email should include the children's names, and a parent name with phone number and email. Steven will have all the names printed ahead of time. When you arrive, the student will be handed his pre-printed name with a bar code to hand to the photographer when it is their turn for pictures. This will ensure that your children will not get mixed up with the Veritas students. If you want a sibling shot taken besides the individual shots, I need to know that ahead of time so that another piece of paper (with bar code) with the siblings' names can be made up separately.

Payment is not required ahead of time. You will need to make arrangements with Cathy Barfield to pick up your proof sheets. The proof sheets consist of 4 poses to choose from. If you wish to order, the different packages and their cost will be indicated on the proof sheet. The proof sheet will indicate the due date for the order. You may drop off your order to Cathy or at Veritas (give to Linda Walton in the office) before the due date. When the pictures arrive, they will be given to Cathy to distribute. I will send email reminders but if you do not check your email frequently, then please make sure and indicate this to Cathy and she can either phone or text you.

I am including the website for the company to see their work: http://www.creativeroadmarketing.com

The Learning Co-op (TLC)

This school year is the 20th  anniversary year for The Learning Co-op (TLC). This co-op is designed for private Christian homeschoolers K-6th grade to come together once a week for some hands-on fun! It is not to replace your curriculum but to enhance what you are doing at home. To make TLC a success, it is a co-op--which means that all moms are required to teach and to assist other moms each month.  If you are interested or have questions, please give Cathy Barfield a call 843-9207 or by email. There is a required commitment form (that includes a statement of faith) to sign. Cathy can email this form to you at request.

If you signed up at the used curriculum sale, I have your name. For each family I need the following information: mother's name, all children's names (even those that will be in the nursery of preschool) and grade, a telephone number and an email you check frequently. I plan to have a parent meeting on Saturday September 8th from 10-noon at Community Bible Church. Attendance is important as this meeting is the brain storming session and planning of the school year. I will be making up the schedules of the mom teams who will be teaching after the meeting.

TLC will start Tuesday, September 25th as a welcome back/ice breaker party and the official first day of TLC will be Tuesday, October 2nd (at 12:45).

Sewing classes

Sewing classes for homeschooler's will be offered again this year.  Both beginning and intermediate classes will be available, depending on enrollment.

Class day and times are still being determined. Friday morning/afternoon, at the Morris Center, worked well last year, so I will continue to make that an option.  Classes would meet during and around band, orchestra, and choir.  If there is enough interest, a class could be offered on Tuesday afternoons - during TLC, or Wednesday afternoons - also at Community Bible Chapel.

Each class will meet once a week for approx. 75 minutes.  The  class fee is $95.00 a semester.  Classes will start in mid September and run through November.  Given that we don't have to take days off for illness or weather - we should complete the course work by the end of November.   It would be my desire to not go into December, but we will if necessary.  Second  semester would begin mid January and go through late April.

For more information, check the sewing class website at: http://sewingwithmrsbachert.blogspot.com/


Beginning Sewing:

The classes will cover hand and basic  machine sewing.  We will do one or two simple projects that will involve  straight machine stitching. To get the most from the class, the students will  need to practice newly learned techniques at home.

There will be  worksheets, general sewing practice, and project work to be completed outside of  class.  Assigned work is due the following week. A notebook, with all the  weekly assignments, notes, vocabulary, worksheets, etc. will be turned in at the  end of the semester.

Each student will need sewing  supplies, a one-inch binder, a portable sewing machine that can be brought to  class each week, and fabric/notions/etc. for an assigned project.

Intermediate Sewing:

These classes will continue where the beginning level left  off.  There will be more seam finishes and hand sewing techniques covered, as well as basic garment construction.  One or two projects will be  completed in this class.  The format of this level will be much like the  beginning level – worksheets, practicing new and old techniques, and project work to be done outside of class.  We will continue to add to the notebook  that was started in the beginning level.

Contact me with questions by phone or email.

There will be a minimum and maximum number of students per class offered.

Thanks,

Martha  Bachert

Course Descriptions for 2012-2013

SpanishSonrisas.blogspot.com

Primary Spanish

Class for 1^st-3^rd grades presents a rich exposure to Spanish through stories, songs, games, Bible verses, and activities – and each year there are new ones! Children quickly assimilate an impressive repertoire of expressions, greetings, and storytelling vocabulary and also receive an introduction to culture and missions. 

Cost: $100/semester, all materials included.

Wednesdays, 9:30 – 10:30 a.m.

Elementary Spanish

Students in 4^th-6^th grades love to learn Spanish through storytelling! They will listen to, write, dramatize, and illustrate stories, as well as design original fun narratives. Their boundless creativity propels language acquisition. This class will include missions, geography, culture, and Bible memory.

Cost: $100/semester; text optional.

Wednesdays, 10:45 a.m. – 12:00 noon.

Both elementary groups meet for two semesters; first semester is September 5 – November 28.

Spanish I

The storytelling method catches the imagination of high school students and accelerates the learning process as they quickly begin to use the language rather than simply memorize grammar rules or vocabulary lists. To earn high school credit students will meet once a week for two hours during a full school year and should expect daily homework and weekly tests. Bible memory will be included, and semester grades/evaluations will be provided. Text may be needed. Cost: $150/semester plus text.

Mondays, 1:00 – 3:00 p.m. First semester begins August 27. Parent meeting date to be announced.

Registration Deadline for all classes: July 15

Class location:

2921 SW Gainsboro Rd.

Topeka, KS

Due to a busy Spring, the organizing of the used curriculum sale did not get organized. Since then, we have had many people asking about it. This year since the time got away with us, we will do things a little differently. Instead of finding times to drop your books off ahead of time, you will man your own table. Sellers will not need to label a certain way and the buyer can also negotiate with the seller directly.

Mustard Seed Church
700 Wakarusa Drive

Sellers: If you set up promptly at 6 pm then you may have a few minutes to shop before anyone else. Robin Brooks and Wanda Tefft will be there before 6 to let you in. Make sure you bring change!

School pictures

Attention for those who wish to have school pictures:

Steven Hertzog Of Creative Road Studio (formerly Linwood Road Studio) has again agreed to take school pictures for TEACH. Picture Day is scheduled for Friday, November 11, 2011 from 12:30-2 pm at the parsonage , next door to the Morris Baptist Center (146 Indian Avenue, Lawrence).

There are a few changes this year. The time of pictures is shortened to 90 minutes and since we have a small group, they need a pre-order of $18.50 for each individual they photograph payable at the time of the session. A sibling shot will be an additional $18.50.

The $18.50 is package 'D' which includes:
1 5x7
4 3.5x5
8 mini wallets

They will deliver to TEACH to hand out proof sheets consisting of 4 poses to choose from. If at that time, someone wants to order more than a package 'D', and/or additional add ons you can do so. If you decide to purchase a more expensive package than 'D', you can do so and deduct the $18.50 from what the more expensive package costs.

For example:
If a customer chooses to purchase package 'A' valued at $50 instead of package 'D' valued at $18.50, they can deduct the $18.50 already paid from the $50 and when they return their order simply write a check for the balance which would be in this case $31.50.
