Thursdays!!

Our group will be meeting on Thursdays in the fall. Originally, it was planned to meet on Tuesdays. I am so thankful for the staff at Colonial Baptist and their willingness to be flexible.

This move will allow us to offer the Challenge A program! The Lord is good!!

I thought I would share this website http://www.cathyduffyreviews.com/index.html It reviews a lot of different curriculum.

Tutors!!

I have two more tutors!!! They will cover the Apprentice class and the second Abecedarian class if we have enough interest.

I still need tutors for grades 3/4 and 5/6. I am also looking for someone to tutor the Essentials class in the afternoon. Please keep praying for these needs to be meet.

We will be in Cycle One in the fall. If you want to order CD's and other helps, it is optional, but very helpful. I noticed the CD's for Cycle One are not available until spring.

Open House

It was amazing to see so many people interested in CC! I only caught sight of a few of you and talked abundantly with others. I hope it was informative.

We have an Abecedarian tutor!! If there are others interested in enrolling their children in that class, please let me know. If there is enough interest, we will have two classes.

Notice, there are more info meetings being scheduled. I have no doubt that our program will fill and multiply. I had a parent share with me today, how she teared up seeing children sing "Jesus Loves Me", then the Pledge of Allegience to the flag and the Holy Bible. You do not get this kind of interaction in most of our schools, private or public. It is awsome to see families learning together.

Feel free to share comments if you attended the open house and want others to know what it is all about.
