[homeschoolhub] Astro-fest! - hands on science for kids

 

Hi, I wanted to share this event info. There will be an Astrofest at Union station in Southbend tomorrow , April 28th, from 2-4pm. We went to the one tonight at Kennedy school and had fun. It is mostly for elementary aged children, but a few things were for older kids. They had lots of hands on science activities. My daughter got to touch real moon soil and fake Mars soil. She also got to create a transit and graph it with a light sensor and laptop. If your interested in going it is free and open to the public. Here is a link with information. http://www.transitofvenus.org/misc/46-astrofest.

[homeschoolhub] Soccer aptly described, Mon. 4/23, 3-5 p.m.

 

Last week our elite group met under a cloudy sky and played our little hearts out beleaguered by gusty winds.

(Elite (a) a verb meaning to be willing to injest unusual or unpleasant things, e.g. "Elite anything - even bugs!!", (b) an adjective meaning: having tiny feet, (c) a preposition meaning that the object bears an indescribable relation to the word being modified, or (d) few, if any, of the above.)

(Beleaguered from the verb "to beleaguer" meaning: (a) to be a member of a league, (b) to cover with an oil or balm, (c) to be eager with one's tongue hanging out like a tired dog's, (d) to do none of the above.)

It looked like a storm was coming in a few minutes for two solid hours. The storm never came. Maybe next time.

Tomorrow's forecast calls for some winds, zero precipitation, and plenty of friends in the sunny afternoon. Looking forward to seeing YOU!

Everyone is welcome regardless of age, or level of skill or fitness.

Mon. 4/23, 3-5 p.m. at Howard Park at the corner of Jefferson Blvd. and St. Louis Blvd in South Bend.

[homeschoolhub] Soccer with a Truant, 4/9, 3-5 p.m.

 

How great will soccer be tomorrow afternoon? What if I told you that one of our long-time homeschool soccer players decided to give up homeschooling and attend one of the best known brick 'n mortar schools in town. What if this same player was wonderfully successful in the school for two years, but then decided to risk it all for tomorrow's soccer game. It's true. This player (let's call her MaryAgnesMariaVonFurstenberg [not her real name]) is going to play fast and loose with her school's attendance rules and play hooky just to join us for a fabulous afternoon of "everybody's a winner" soccer.

If you think you know who it is, just walk up to him or her and say, "I think you're MaryAgnesMariaVonFurstenberg. What's it worth to buy my silence?" It should be fun.

Everyone is welcome regardless of age, or level of skill or fitness.

Mon. 4/9, 3-5 p.m. at Howard Park at the corner of Jefferson Blvd. and St. Louis Blvd in South Bend.
