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 1st-3rd
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 4th-6th
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
Used Curriculum Sale
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.
Used Curriculum Sale--Monday, June 25th from 6:30-8:00 pm
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! If you do not get everything sold, you can post curriculum on the TEACH blog. We will send out a separate email with instructions.
Buyers: There will be table to renew your TEACH membership and various sign-ups will be available too. (TLC, science classes, TEACH graduation...)
For any questions, you can call Cathy at 843-9207.

October's Social Night
October's social night has been added to the calendar. It is a "back to the books bash" and we are encouraging all the students to come dressed as a character from a favorite book you have read, or decorate a mask in a theme or character of a favorite book.
There will be a prize awarded for the most creative costume and/or mask. Masks can be as simple as something made with construction paper or made from a paper bag. Or you could head to the craft store and purchase a "blank" mask to decorate.
If you have any questions, be sure to ask.
So here are the details:
When: Friday, October 7th - from 7:00pm - 9:30pm. Please have students picked up no later than 9:45.
Where: The Morris Center - 146 Indian Ave. - Lawrence
Who: TEACH members in grades 7th - 12th.
What to bring: Please bring a snack AND a 2-liter bottle of pop, juice, tea, etc. In the past, we have had a few events where there wasn't enough food or drinks to last through the evening.
Also, it is time to stock up on items that are used for our events, like paper products - so we are asking everyone to bring $3.00 to help cover the cost of these items and door prizes for future social nights.
If you have any questions, please contact Martha Bachert - 841-6308 - hsmom@sbcglobal.net OR Rhonda Gaskin - 830-0377 - rhondagaskin@hotmail.com.
Thanks to the Morris Center and the Gaskin's for the use of the building.

Speech and Debate - class forming
To help prepare and encourage students in competitive speech and debate competition, I am forming a new speech and debate club on Tuesday afternoons from 1:00-3:00, starting September 13th at the Morris Baptist Center.
Emphasis will be on developing speaking, reading, writing, and research skills. Due to my current reading difficulties, parents will need to assist their student in writing and proofreading speeches. Class size is limited. There will be an instructional class for parents to explain debate leagues, submission requirements, etc. The tutoring fee is $25 per month, except December (no classes). You may contact me with questions or to enroll at john_gaskin@hotmail.com.
