OCEANetwork Convention Review

I just wanted to put a quick note up so those that stopped by the Hands of a Child booth last weekend at the OCEANetwork conference know they are in the right spot. I had an awesome weekend and met some wonderful families. Thank you to everyone that stopped by and talked about Lapbooking or made a purchase.

There are a couple of new Project Packs available and I will be posting about those later this week.

I also hope to review a couple of books I picked up at the conference myself and for the boys.

Again, Thank you to everyone who stopped by the booth.

God Bless.

Summer School

Since the forecast today is 80 degrees I decided to let the boys have school outside today.

Cameron got out one of the tents and set it up; Mommy helped him put a top on the tent for some extra shade.

Rosetta Stone Latin III Giveaway.

Jenefer is hosting a giveaway contest for Rosetta Stone! Rosetta Stone is the fastest way to learn a language and has been the #1 foreign language curriculum among homeschoolers for a while — and you can WIN the *all new* version 3 Rosetta Stone Homeschool LATIN program… FOR FREE! This is the first year you can get Latin in the brand new Version III update. This is a $259 program (and believe me it’s worth every penny!) This is a computer based curriculum and Rosetta Stone will also include a headset with microphone, and a supplementary “Audio Companion” CD so you can practice lessons in the car, on the go, or where-ever! Students participate in life-like conversations and actually produce language to advance through the program. Rosetta Stone incorporates listening, reading, grammar, vocabulary and writing along with speaking and pronunciation lessons. For parents, the new Parent Administrative Tools are integrated into the program to allow parents to easily enroll up to ten students in any of 12 predetermined lesson plans, monitor student progress, grade completed work (the program grades the work automatically as the students progress- I love that!), and you can view and print reports for transcripts. Homeschooling a lot of kids at your house? This program is designed to enroll and track up to ten students (five users on two computers) and will work for nearly all ages — from beginning readers up to college students. To win this most excellent Latin program copy these paragraphs and post them in (or as) your next blog post, and/OR link to the contest from your facebook page and/OR email the information to your homeschool support group – Then go to the original page http://jeneralities.com/?p=541986 for all the info. It really is EASY to enter!

Lapbooking Workshops to be offered locally!

Blog HOAC 206x136

I figured I would post to the blog rather than sending out mulitple emails to different groups about Lapbooking workshops.

1. I will host a workshop locally at Unionvale Countryside Church (date and time to be determined)

2. I am looking for hosts in the Salem/Keizer, McMinnville/Newberg, and Portland Metro Areas. If you would like to host a workshop either at your home or at a local church or library please let me know. We would prefer to find locations that charge little or nothing to host an event at.

What is the workshop?

I will spend about 20 minutes talking about Unit Studies and Lapbooking with In the Hands of a Child. We will look at examples as well as a current list of all that In the Hands of a Child offers. Finally we will try our hand at a mini book or two. The entire event should not last more than 1 hour. I will have special pricing for the event as well.

Would you like to host an event?

Comment here with an email that I can contact you at and we can set up an event.

Free Family Friendly movie Festival

Regal Cinemas is once again offering their Free Family Film Festival this summer. I have linked to Oregon theaters list, but you can search from the site for other theaters offering the program.

What a great way to see some PG and G rated movies during the summer.

Titanic Adventures

With our Titanic unit in full swing we decided to head out for a field trip. Luckily our unit matches up with the traveling exhibit from Country Financial Services.
I will write more about the exhibit later, but for now I will leave you with a photo from the activity.
