Fremont Public Library!

We know this time of the year is a bit crazy (not to mention expensive!), but what better way to enjoy the holidays than to get a great deal? How about an entire (free!) morning of sharing, support and encouragement? How about loads of ideas designed to save you stress and money?





Please join us on Saturday Dec. 12th for two of my most popular workshops:





From 9:30-10:30 a.m. "Why are we Homeschooling? Developing Your Own Educational Philosophy"




Did you know the average homeschooling family changes styles and curriculum 7 times in the first 2 years? This can be very expensive, confusing, and frustrating! This workshop is designed to help you cut through the confusion and help you find the philosophy that will help you truly enjoy homeschooling as a lifestyle rather than as a challenge to be overcome.




From 11:00 - noon "Homeschooling for Cheapskates"




Homeschooling doesn't need to be expensive. In fact, many of us find that homeschooling is virtually free! Join us for a discussion about how to homeschool by using materials and resources available for free on the Internet, at the library, or in your community. Be sure to bring your impossible dreams!





Yes, of course, handouts aplenty will be provided!





I look forward to seeing you at the Fremont Public Library, 1170 N. Midlothian Rd., Mundelein, IL
