Around the World Night 2009

We've begun the journey! The boys have each picked a country for Around the World Night 2009. We've got Israel, Egypt and Canada. Our fun has started....they have already started a notebook and have been looking up information.

There are so many more wonderful choices that haven't been chosen! Go on your search of the most unique, most fascinating, most historic journey to a far away land!!

I have had many new homeschool families contact me about this event. Here are some specific details... {also, in your FHE NEWSLETTER}

Here are a few of the preliminary details...

Date, Place, and Time: April 25th, 2009, Star of Bethlehem Church on
Jonestown Rd., 7-9pm

Presentations will be on a tri-fold decorated anyway you'd like.
The presentations will share a circular table with another country backed up to it. All of the table space in front of the presentation will be yours to put artifacts, small projects, reports, tasty foods to share, etc etc as you see fit. Some dress in their countries attire!!

As the evening goes on, some choose to stand at their project and answer questions; others roam and sample foods from far away places!

However you'd like, it is suppose to be a fun night to invite friends, dads, and anyone else to see what we have done. I started doing this many years ago b/c most homeschooled kids do not get to "show off" their talents as often as they should be able to!! In my humble opinion!! And, I LOVE to see the wonderful people and cultures of God's great world!!! Hope you'll mark your calendar either way; to join us in presenting your favorite country or to support those who are committed to sharing what they learn!!


If you have any further questions, I'm an email away!!!
