Today is the last day to register for the Torah Homeschool Conference at the discounted rate of $15 per person/$25 per couple. So sign up now and save some money!! http://jewishhomeschooling.wordpress.com/
I realized after speaking to a homeschooling friend a couple of days ago that many who would benefit from the conference might not realize that it’s suitable for them. The conference is intended for those currently homeschooling, as well as any parents who want to learn more about if it’s an option for them. Those who aren’t homeschooling, but want to know more or their children, those with young children but thinking ahead, those who appreciate a more family centered approach to education and parenting, parents who want to supplement their childrens’ afterschool time, those who keep their children home until a later age than typical (ie, 4 or 5 yr) – all of these would enjoy and benefit from the conference. So please pass the word along to anyone you think will be interested! For years, I’ve been hearing Jewish homeschoolers say how much they wish we had both practical and social support of homeschooling, and for the first time ever, there will be a homeschool conference geared to Jewish homeschoolers! So let’s make sure we take advantage of the opportunity!
There will be a full day of workshops given mostly by experienced homeschooling parents, on topics like how to creatively teach Hebrew reading and writing, how to teach Jewish subjects, socialization, benefits of homeschooling, etc, and even a veteran’s panel where you can ask questions and hear what’s working for parents who have been doing this for a long time! A community rabbi will be speaking on the importance of educating our children ‘in their own way’, and a well known parent educator will be speaking on building connections with our children. There will be two simultaneous workshop tracks, so you can choose which topics are most interesting and relevant to you.
The conference will be held at the Baltimore Park Heights JCC, on June 28. If registration is completed by June 15, the cost is $15 per person/ $25 per couple. So act fast to get that price! After that, the cost will be $20 per person/ $35 per couple. To register, email srayvy at yahoo dot com with your workshop selections and let her know how you want to pay.
