Upcoming Events!

In addition to offering my FREE weekly (by appointment only) consultations where I help families one-on-one I am offering several workshops and opportunities for more general support in the next few months. You are invited to attend one or all.  All of the listed workshops are located in McHenry County, are FREE, and are open to anyone with questions at any level.  

NEXT WEDNESDAY, July 29th 
Homeschool Roadmap
Homeschooling is a lot like going on a road trip. Some of us like to just get in the car with a destination in mind and have fun finding loads of cool things to see and places to eat and stay along the way. Other folks plan out every mile and every stop with two weeks of hotel reservations made in advance or they hire a guide to do that for them. It doesn't matter how you travel as long as you have a fun and successful time. We will discuss the law, resources, and lot of the options on the homeschooling road and help you figure out which options will work for your unique situation. 

7 - 9pm at the Johnsburg Public Library (one block east of the traffic circle no matter what your GPS tells you!)
no registration required
Ideal for the new homeschooler or one who is frustrated or confused with the sheer abundance of choices available today. 

(I will offer another of these at the Johnsburg Library in August if there is enough interest.)

Homeschooling for Cheapskates
Homeschooling doesn’t need to be expensive.  In fact, many find that it is virtually free!  Join us for a discussion about how to homeschool using free materials and resources available on the internet, at the library, and in your community.  For adults.  Please share the information with others who would be interested.  Everyone is welcome!
