Hello everyone!

As our family makes summer plans to road trip, we came across an exciting opportunity that we thought others may want to know about. The Creation Evidence Museum in Glen Rose, Texas is hosting a dinosaur excavation digging experience for homeschool families!!!

You can see more details here: http://www.creationevidence.org/events/homeschool_excavations.php

Although those dates don’t work for us, we are considering being a part of the dates open to the public at the end of June to early July. You can see that info under the “Dino Digs” section and click on “Excavations Page”.

Hello all! Here is the itinerary for Saturday. I’m leaving this here so you can be familiar with when things are happening. 🙂 See you all on Saturday by 10:15!

Hello dear CC families!

Can you believe Monday is our last community day for the school year?! It feels like its flown by! I am so blessed by each of you and your families, and I want you to know how much I appreciate each of your contributions that make our community what it is. Thank you!!!!!

We plan to have lunch in the Soul Garage. If you wish to order Little Caesars pizza for lunch. Please place your Little Caesars pizza order online. Then send me a copy of your order via email or text so I can pick them all up at 11:20am. (Note: Lunch will be from 11:30-12:30pm.) Beverages are available for sale in the Soul Garage if you wish, otherwise feel free to bring your own.

**Please take note that the WHOLE COMMUNITY is asked to remain from 12:30-1:20pm to run through the program schedule with our students immediately following lunch.**

Here is a PDF version of the invite if you’d like to send it electronically to a guest:

“Day 1” Area Practicum registration is open. This event is happening in Chippewa Falls, June 5th. Practicum events are FREE! Attending my first Practicum before starting to homeschool is when I knew this is what I wanted for my kids and began my search for a community!

Here is the registration link for Day 1:

Practicum looks a bit different this year! CC listened to our feedback and reformatted Practicum into 3 individual day events! This solves many of the overwhelming aspects of planning Practicums such as kids’ camps/childcare are now optional, a one-day commitment versus 3 consecutive days, and tutors don’t have to miss the rich afternoon content that would happen in large group while tutors attended academic orientation!

“Day 1” Area Practicum will include diving into the classical model through the lens of the theme “The Art of Grammar- Attending to the Essentials.” For those who have attended in previous years, this content is what we would cover in the morning sessions of the 3-day Practicums consolidated into one day. This is a great event for all, whether someone has been homeschooling for 25 years to those looking into homeschooling for the first time. Childcare will not be provided.

“Day 2” Local Practicum will be happening in Rice Lake along with Ladysmith, Jim Falls and Hayward communities joining us. This will be a hands-on day of conversation and practical tools regarding the ways we learn/utilize the classical model. For those who’ve attended previous years, this content is what would have been covered in the afternoon exercises of the 3-Day Practicums now consolidated into one day.

“Day 3” Academic Training will be hosted in Saint Croix Falls and possibly one in Rice Lake. This is a required training for Tutors and Directors. This is the equivalent of our tutor academic orientation that previously happened in the afternoons during a 3-day Practicum now consolidated into one day. Tutors, more info on this to come. 🙂
