Recycle/Scrapbook Workshop, Kids 8-12, Albuquerque
Recycle scrapbook/paperart workshop for age-group 8 to 12years http://www.abqhomelearners.org/forum47/1116.html
at the Manzano Mesa Multi Generation Center at 501 Elizabeth St. S.E., Albuquerque (Near Eubank and Central) Phone: (505) 275-8731
on Friday April 13th (if you are superstitious, pretend to be Spanish, where Tuesday 13th is considered to be unlucky)
from 10 am to 11.30am (or sooner, if you have had enough).
What do you use when you make a scrapbook? All the pretty things you see at Michaels, Jo-Anne and the paper departments of the big stores, right? The results are usually lovely, but often costly and not always very personal.
I have a different way of scrapbooking and it starts with the way we see things as beautiful and useful or ugly and useless. In this workshop I will try and teach kids to look at things around the house in a different manner. We will make beautiful layouts using mainly discarded materials, like wrapping paper, brown paper bags, paint leftovers, paint chips, old broken jewelery, push-pins, eye shadow, dried flowers and an endless list of things that would not normally come to mind when you think scrapbooking.
We will talk about what beautiful is and how you can open your eyes to beauty in places where you would not usually give it a second glance, like an oilstain on a puddle or a rusty piece of metal. After that I will talk about materials I have used, where I usually look for my materials (garage sales, my father�s and husband�s shed, my mom�s sewing supplies and attic, thrift stores, hardware stores, garden centers, office stores, dollar stores, nature etc.)
We will talk a bit about paper, glues, sealers and such and we will end by making something pretty using primarily non scrapbook related and discarded materials. Don�t worry, I draw the line at raiding dumpsters :0)))
I will make sure to bring plenty of examples of my own work to clarify what I am talking about and to inspire the kids before they start raiding your house and sheds.
If there is enough participation and the kids like this first class, I will set up follow up classes in which we will make brown paper baggy photo albums or journals, or we will make some recycle art using for example Lay�s cans or soup cans, old CDs, telephone cards and a whole lot of stuff we would usually just toss out.
Fringe benefit of this art form is that you keep materials out of the recycle circuit and can use them as little very personal gifts to family and friends.
This way of scrapping is NOT lignen and acid free. It is not about archieving and preserving photos. It is pure art, creativity and having a good time, changing the way you look at things and making art and scrapbooking acessible to every budget.
Not everybody likes what I do. Maybe NOBODY likes what I do. It might not be you or your child at all. So, to have an idea how I work and what I make, be sure to check out my gallery at ScrapJazz. I have been lax in uploading anything recently, too busy homeschooling, but you can get a good idea of what I mean when I speak of junk scrapping, vintage scrapping, recycle scrapping, altered art and such.
http://www.scrapjazz.com/gallery/showgallery.php?cat=500&ppuser=10945
I do strongly encourage boys to participate in this workshop. From my own experience with my son, they love to craft and use their imagination and this kind of scrapping is not specifically �gurly�, as you will see. Moms and dads are very welcome to sit down and craft with their kids. It is a wonderful hobby to share.
I will bring material from my own stash to use, but it would be great if you could bring your own gluestick, scissors, one or two photos you want to use on the layout, an old magazine, old powder eyeshadow, dried flowers, pretty postcards, pretty used wrapping paper, whatever you think you might want to use. Don�t look at it as what it was meant for, look at it and decide if it is pretty or not. Anything goes, I have used flattened Mug Rootbeer cans at times.
Oh, and I don�t know about here, but in the Netherlands, M&Ms are a staple at crops and scrapbook get togethers, so I will bring those, plain chocolate for those with peanut allergies AND peanut filled for those who can eat that. If you want to bring a baggie of your own favorite candy, feel free to.
If you want to join me, please reply http://www.abqhomelearners.org/forum47/1116.html, let me know howmany you will be participating. Hope to see you all there.

C-SPAN StudentCam Competition
Received this info from Learning is For Everyone Yahoo Group, homeschoolers are allowed to enter this competition....Have fun!--Tabbi
C-SPAN StudentCam Competition
C-SPAN StudentCam Competition
http://www.studentcam.org/about.asp
WHAT IS "C-SPAN StudentCam"? C-SPAN StudentCam is an annual
documentary competition that encourages students to think seriously
about issues that affect our communities and our nation. C-SPAN
StudentCam invites students to identify a current political topic of
interest and produce a short (up to ten minute) video documentary
which creatively explores an issue while integrating C-SPAN
programming.
WHAT CONTENT SHOULD MY VIDEO INCLUDE? Video documentaries may include
different elements-i.e. straight documentary, interviews,
entertainment, promotional, news report, magazine style, or public
service, but must also include C-SPAN programming. Limited use of
copyrighted material would be permitted in an entry so long as it is
a lawful or so-called "fair" use, and so long as such use does not
overwhelm the contribution of the student(s). In addition to
creatively exploring a current political topic of interest,
successful entries will also follow C-SPAN's editorial principles by
giving appropriate weight to opposing views of the chosen topic. The
videos in this competition must also incorporate clips of C-SPAN
programming.
HOW CAN I OBTAIN THE C-SPAN FOOTAGE? In order to find the content you
need, check the C-SPAN schedule online or sign up to receive C-SPAN
Alert, a daily email with up to date programming information. These
resources will help you identify air dates and times of programs or
events related to your issue. Once you have identified a program you
think you might be able to use, make a copy when it airs. C-SPAN-
produced programming is copyright cleared to copy (in either analog
or digital forms) for use in educational applications like
StudentCam. However, if the program you need has already aired, you
may obtain a copy from the C-SPAN Archives.
WHAT MEDIA FORMAT CAN I USE? VHS or DVD.
WHAT IS THE VIDEO TIME LIMIT? Up to 10 minutes in length.
WHO CAN COMPETE? Middle school students (grades 6-8) and high school
students (grades 9- 12) in the United States as individuals, or teams
of students may create and submit entries. Teams are limited to 3
students. Videos must be the original work of students, however,
teachers may provide guidance and critiques. Teachers of top winners
will receive digital media equipment for their schools.
HOW WILL THE VIDEOS BE JUDGED? We recognize that students have
varying degrees of access to video production equipment and encourage
all to apply! Entries will be judged on the following criteria:
success in capturing the contest's themes; quality of expression, use
of C-SPAN programming, inclusion of multiple viewpoints, and
creativity.
WHAT IS THE DEADLINE? Entries must be received in the C-SPAN offices
by 5:00pm ET on Friday, March 30, 2007.
WHEN WILL THE PRIZE RECIPIENTS BE ANNOUNCED? Tuesday, May 8, 2007.
WHAT ARE THE PRIZES? Multiple cash prizes of $250, $500, $750, and
$1,000, will be awarded in both middle and high school categories;
one Grand Prize of $3,000 will be awarded to the best overall entry.

Albuquerque Home Learners Pre-Teen & Up Groups Now Available!
This has hyperlinks that may be lost if taken out of html format, but here’s a letter you can feel free to forward…Kari (I put the links in in case they got lost in the emails...Tabbi)
To Homeschooling Families of the Greater Albuquerque area:
Through repeated requests from parents for an inclusive group to meet the needs of all their children, of varying ages, the membership committee of Albuquerque Home Learners (AHL)www.abqhomelearners.org has become aware of the need for a group that accepts all families, regardless of age ranges, religious beliefs, homeschooling philosophies or any of the other factors that tend to divide the homeschool community.
In an attempt to form a cohesive community among Albuquerque’s Homeschoolers, AHL has expanded the forums on the public message board, creating a Homeschool Trading Post, where all homeschoolers can come together to strengthen each other and form friendships for ourselves and our children. We have added new forums specifically for those families with children from 8-12 and 13-18. http://www.abqhomelearners.org/category7/ There is even a new forum just for teens, where they can visit with each other while under the supervision of two parent moderators, in Teen Scene Talk. http://www.abqhomelearners.org/forum41/1085.html
Please help us bring together Albuquerque's Homeschooling youth, of all ages, forming a true community, rather than many individuals.
As always, if you are interested in membership in Albuquerque Home Learners, you can email membership at abqhomelearners@yahoo.com and/or visit here http://www.abqhomelearners.org/forum22/ for more information.

AMERICAN EXPERIENCE Reprises RACE TO THE MOON
Monday, February 26 at 9 p.m. on PBS (check local listings)
This Friday in movie theaters across the country, a film called
"The Astronaut Farmer" opens. It tells the fictional story of a
farmer who builds a rocket in his barn and attempts a one-man
mission to launch it into space. Admittedly, it sounds a bit
outlandish.
In 1968, the idea of strapping three men into a rocket that would
orbit the moon and return safely to earth seemed equally crazy.
NASA scientists didn't know that they could pull it off; one
astronaut told his wife his chances of returning home were 50-50.
Yes on Christmas Eve, one of the largest audiences in television
history tuned in to an extraordinary sight: a live telecast of
the moon's surface as seen from Apollo 8, the first manned space
flight to leave Earth's gravitational pull and orbit the moon.
The historic journey captivated people around the world.
On Monday, AMERICAN EXPERIENCE revisits the story of Apollo 8
with RACE TO THE MOON. Tune in to see a story that's even better
than fiction.

SCHOOL? NOT
The U.S. Department of Education estimates that over a million children are homeschooled and research shows that number is on the rise.
Less research has been done on a newer branch of home learning, known as "un-schooling." As many as 20,000 children who do not go to school, and follow no formal curriculum at home, could fall into this group.

Albuquerque, Cooperative Study of Cultures Around the World
Please join us in a cooperative study of cultures around the world.
All homeschooling families with children of all ages are welcome to participate.
Each month, from August through May, each family participating will sign up to do a unit study on one country.
On the last Friday of each month, all the participating families will gather to give a brief presentation on what they’ve learned. And, each family will bring a traditional dish from their area of study to share with the other contributing families.
For example, one month:
The Brown family learns about Mexico. As a family they will do a presentation, maybe including a Mexican dance they learned, and they will bring tamales for everyone to sample.
The Jones family learns about Germany. As a family they will do a presentation, maybe including modeling lederhosen, and they will bring Stollen to share.
The Smith family learns about India, maybe including a sample of Indian music (or maybe one of their children will learn to play a piece of traditional Indian music on an instrument and they will perform that), and they will bring a dish of Chole to share.
And, so on…
The number of cultures we study each month will depend on the number of families participating. We don’t have to restrict ourselves to the present day map either. If your family would like to learn and share about the Mayans, that would be just fine.
In order to increase the number of cultures we are exposed to, the only rule is that you can’t repeat a country another family has already done or selected to do in a following month.
You are welcome to sign up only for those months you’d like to participate. Countries will be taken on a first come, first serve basis.
Please sign up by replying to the thread at this link:
http://www.abqhomelearners.org/view_topic.php?id=1103&forum_id=29.

out shows now have seats available!
Great Greek Myths
March 20, 10:15am
King Minos ordered a Maze – and from this puzzling
labyrinth spring two of the greatest of all Greek
Myths; Icarus, the story of an inventor’s son whose
wings of wax melt when he flies too close to the sun,
and Theseus, the story of a brave young hero who faces
the half-gull/half-man Minotaur in order to free his
people. These tales of cleverness and bravery appeal
to audiences of all ages who will be saddened by the
pride of Icarus and inspired by the courage and
sacrifice of Theseus.
All tickets: $4
Tickets may by ordered by phone at 277-6746 until
March 8 at 4:00pm. Payment needs to be by credit card
at the time of the order. After that, all tickets must
be purchased at the UNM Bookstore Ticket Office
(Tuesday-Friday 10-6 and Saturdays 12-4). Please call
ahead for seating availability: 277-6746.
Fabulous costumes, magnificent monsters, primitive
music and a colorful on-stage maze will help students
live these classic tales.

Studies, Science, Career Readiness
The Ant and the Grasshopper
March 20, 12:15 only
Science and nature come alive as we take a trip
through the four seasons in this great Aesop’s Fable
for the very young. A frivolous fiddle-playing
Grasshopper exasperates the hard-working Ant
throughout the course of an entire year. A big
beautiful set strips away to become the Ant’s warm
underground hole as winter closes in. A singing
Caterpillar, a whacky Squirrel, and a high-strung Bird
round out the cast of creatures who live their entire
annual life cycles in the colorful little forest
clearing.
Optional talkback session follows the performance.
All tickets: $4
Tickets may be ordered online with an accompanying
phone call to pay by credit card until March 8 at
4:00pm. After that all tickets must be purchased at
the UNM Bookstore Ticket Office (Tuesday-Friday 10-6

availability: 277-6746.
Remember: everyone, regardless of age, must have a
ticket. There are no lap passes.

URGENT! Input needed for future Science Workshop(s)
Hello everyone I received this through the 'momvine' as I like to call it and when I emailed her she responded that she has not gotten many responses to this date and would like more input. She is a fellow homeschooler and it is great that she is provided this opportunity to get more science into the hands of homeschoolers! So please respond to the email below her name, even if you are not in the Albuquerque area give her your thoughts anyway as this is from the NM Science Teachers Assoc and you never know if they get a big response they might be willing to help out homeschoolers in other areas. I have been involved in volunteering with this group in the past and they are a wealth of information! Take care and good homeschooling, Tabbi
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Dear NM homeschool parents,
I have been asked to help the New Mexico Science Teachers
Association ( http://www.nmsta.org/) in their mission to improve
science education in New Mexico. I believe this is a very important
mission that homeschoolers should be a part of. One facet of their
mission is to provide professional development opportunities to
science teachers. Many of their activities have been open to
homeschoolers, and they have asked me to plan a workshop (or more
than one!) for homeschool parents. The workshop would be in the
Albuquerque area, and I have some financial support from NMSTA to
cover expenses.
I am thrilled with this opportunity. However, I want to make sure
that I plan a workshop which appeals to other homeschool parents,
and not just me! With that in mind, I would like your input.
Please let me know what would be helpful for you, as a homeschool
parent. I have included some questions – feel free to respond to
any or all of them and to add any additional comments you may have.
Also, please forward this to other NM homeschoolers – I'd like a
response from as large a group as possible.
(The NMSTA website is a good resource for science information,
programs, courses, etc – check it out!)
Looking forward to getting your input,
Anne Marie Malone
kammalone@gmail.com
Questions:
What type of workshop would you come to? Suggested possibilities
include:
- A workshop that deals with content, focusing on one
science topic. Any ideas?
- A workshop on how to start kids in science fair. How is
a project structured? How can parents help their kids through the
process? This could be scheduled before the regional science fair
(March 16-17) so parents could take their kids to the open house and
get a feel for science fair.
- How to teach science, find resources, etc.
- Hands-on workshops with activities you can do with your
kids.
What would make you want to come to a workshop? Free snacks, free
lunch, babysitting, hand-outs. . .
What time might work for you? Weekday evening, Weekday afternoon,
Saturday morning, Saturday afternoon? I'm aware of the schedules
for state-wide chess tournaments, Regional and State science fairs
(and of course ISEF, the International Science & Engineering Fair,
in Albuquerque this May!), and the CAPE convention. Are there any
other events that would draw a large number of homeschoolers which I
should stay away from in scheduling? I'd like to plan something in
the next few months.
What length works for you? Two hours, four hours, something else?
Thanks so much for taking the time to consider and respond to these
questions.

Hey Everyone,
The Mayflower Society is a service/geneological society. It is a nationwide society and its membership all had ancestors on the Mayflower. I am a member of the New Mexico Chapter. The New Mexico Chapter has established a scholarship, and Del wanted to make sure that NM Homeschoolers knew about the scholarship and applied for it. I am sorry I didn't send you an email sooner, Tabbi - I didn't realize Del was going to be so quick at contacting you. I don't know a lot about the scholarship except that the membership is really excited about starting a scholarship fund, and they are excited about givng out the scholarship money. For more general information on the Mayflower Society you can go to their website at http://www.themayflowersociety.com/index.htm. I have to say, that I didn't solicit them to offer this scholarship to homeschoolers - they sought out the homeschooling community. So, I would encourage anyone with a child going to college next year to apply!

Living History Day Camp 2007, Albuquerque
List moderators,
Some of you responded that you couldn't open the attachment I sent so I've cut and pasted it below. Let me know if you still have problems with forwarding it to your homeschool lists.
Thanks!

Below is information about a super Living History Day Camp. My girls attended this camp last year and loved it! They really learned a lot, not just about the time period, but also about important people and events of that time period. They did the victorian camp last year and are going to do the colonial camp this year. I highly recommend it as a way to make history come alive to your young girls.
I know it's kind of early to be thinking about summer activities, but the director of the camp will be advertising to the general public through the New Mexico Kids Magazine starting in March, and she wanted to give homeschoolers first shot at registering. If you're interested, take advantage quickly because the slots filled up fast last year.

Living History Day Camps
Presents…
Colonial Days and the Victorian Times
Victorian Times Camp: Young ladies ages 8-11 are invited to step back in time and experience life150 years ago. Come to Mes Amis Tea House At Nob Hill for a unique opportunity to re-enact daily activities as a historic American girl. Victorian Times allows girls to “connect” with the past by bringing it to life!
Daily activities will include: exploring the lives of historic woman that shaped America and the world, role play activities, crafts, baking Victorian recipes, “taking & serving tea”, color tinting fashion plates, playing parlor and outdoor games, embroidering a Victorian sampler, learning an Early American dance, and a special end of the week “high tea”…all of this while each young lady is dressed in a vintage style hoop skirt, pantaloons, faux fur stole & hat!
Cost of camp is $185 plus tax. Fee includes: all craft supplies, costuming for a week, tea & snacks daily, making a handkerchief doll, a Victorian sampler, a 5 x 7 sepia tone group photo, a scrapbook “Book of Reflections”, a keepsake porcelain teacup, a special “High Tea” and more.
Colonial Days: During the Colonial Days Camp, the girls will be transported back in time to 1607 – 1776 during the formation of the colonies into a “United” nation. Girls will dress up daily in pantaloons, a cotton calico Colonial dress and mob cap. We will discuss famous Colonists such as George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Betsy Ross, Pocahontus, Squanto, Chief Powhatan, Molly Pitcher, Mother Goose and more.
Daily Activities include: Historic readings, lessons & Colonial role play activities including our own Boston Tea Party! Girls will churn butter in a replica vintage wooden butter churn, participate in crafts such as: candle dipping, ink making, soap making, doll making (corn husk doll, wooden spoon doll). The young ladies will experience what school days were like using slate boards, hornbooks, battledores, writing with a quill feather pen and making their own ink! Camp also includes a 5 x 7 group photo, a “monitor” (scrapbook) and light snacks daily. Each young lady will receive a Rag Doll dressed in a homespun dress, with “miniature” accessories made by the participants, as a keepsake of the Colonial Days. Girls will participate in a final culminating activity called “We The People Revue”. Cost of camp is $185 plus tax. Fee includes all supplies, snacks, and costuming for the week at camp.

N.NM/S.CO- Math time--another opportunity to attend, for FREE
From S. CO Yahoo Group:
---------- Forwarded message ----------
From: nancy Baetz
Hi Everyone,
Last week I had a wonderful time with Mr. Bill Tessier talking about Math. Mr. Tessier was a teacher for many years, retired military, has taught drivers ed and Sunday School among many other pursuits! He raised 8 children and is a delightful gentleman.
I didn't know quite what to expect but left the meeting with some great new tips and tricks to teaching AND understanding math concepts and was just blessed all the way around. He also talked about learning styles a bit, and I can say honestly that I thoroughly enjoyed it.
The snow caught many off guard last Tuesday, but we have the same meeting scheduled this Tuesday, Feb. 20, at Sand Creek Library again, at 6:30. (That is TOMORROW!) Sand Creek is located at Chelton and S. Academy.
This is not at all a high pressure, formal meeting, but a low key, conversational time with a very nice person who has a heart for homeschoolers. He has agreed to do this one more time for us, for free! Your older children would benefit from this too.
Please join us and tell your friends.
Thank you!

Presented by Harwood Art Center, International Poetry Institute, ABQSlams

Combining vibrant images, linguistic brilliance, hip-hop rhythms, and unflappable honesty, the work of Rha Goddess—artist, poet, and social activist—is legendary.

Goddess honed her lyrical skills in the spoken-word scene of Manhattan's legendary Nuyorican Poets Café.

School Day Performance of Rha Goddess
Presented by Harwood Art Center, International Poetry Institute, ABQSlams
ABQ Journal Theatre, National Hispanic Cultural Center
10:00am, Free
Combining vibrant images, linguistic brilliance, hip-hop rhythms, and unflappable honesty, the work of Rha Goddess—artist, poet, and social activist—is legendary. Her trademark style, called "flowetry" (flow-e-tree), is a unique blend of hip-hop spoken word consciousness and song. Goddess honed her lyrical skills in the spoken-word scene of Manhattan's legendary Nuyorican Poets Café. Frequently compared to Erykah Badu, Lauryn Hill, and Outkast, she is the only major female hip-hop artist who has written, arranged, co-produced, and independently distributed her work. Her debut solo CD, Soulah Vibe, was highly praised in Time and Ms. magazines; and Essence magazine named her as one of 30 Women to Watch in the new millennium. Her performance will be targeted towards young adults, with a Q&A after the performance. Call 246-2261 Ext. 112 to RSVP.

Article:Public and Compulsory Schooling
I do not endorse this article it is just an interesting view so take from it what you will. It was sent to me by a fellow homeschooling parent for me to send out...Tabbi

Public and Compulsory Schooling
UNTIL THE LAST FEW YEARS there were few institutions in America that were held more sacred—especially by liberals—than the public school. Devotion to the public school had seized even those early Americans—such as Jeffersonians and Jacksonians—who were libertarian in most other respects. In recent years the public school was supposed to be a crucial ingredient of democracy, the fount of brotherhood, and the enemy of elitism and separateness in American life. The public school was the embodiment of the alleged right of every child to an education, and it was upheld as a crucible of understanding and harmony between men of all occupations and social classes who would rub elbows from an early age with all their neighbors.
Going hand in hand with the spread of public education have been compulsory attendance laws, which have forced all children up to a high—and continually increasing—minimum age, to attend either a public school or a private school certified as suitable by the state apparatus. In contrast to earlier decades, when a relatively small proportion of the population went to school in the higher grades, the entire mass of the population has thus been coerced by the government into spending a large portion of the most impressionable years of their lives in public institutions. We could easily have analyzed compulsory attendance laws in our chapter on involuntary servitude, for what institution is more evidently a vast system of incarceration? In recent years, Paul Goodman and other critics of education have trenchantly exposed the nation's public schools—and to a lesser extent their private appendages—as a vast prison system for the nation's youth, dragooning countless millions of unwilling and unadaptable children into the schooling structure. The New Left tactic of breaking into the high schools shouting "Jailbreak!" may have been absurd and ineffective, but it certainly expressed a great truth about the school system. For if we are to dragoon the entire youth population into vast prisons in the guise of "education," with teachers and administrators serving as surrogate wardens and guards, why should we not expect vast unhappiness, discontent, alienation, and rebellion on the part of the nation's youth? The only surprise should be that the rebellion was so long in coming.
