Future monthly support meetings: Some months there will be both speakers and a topic being discussed, not necessarily along the same lines. Some months there will only be a topic under discussion. I am going to be asking for members of our community to volunteer to during our 'forms of education' series, more information is below.

Speaker: Language Learning Strategies for Children by Tim Keller of Progressive Language, Inc.
Topic: No topic this month due to the fair being in the same month.

Speaker: Amylee Udell of Sign2Speak:
Signing and Hearing Children's Literacy
Recent research has shown that using signs and the manual alphabet with toddlers AND school aged children boosts their literacy skills! It's great for all ability levels and mixed levels. Find out why literacy problems are virtually non-existent in children of deaf adults. Learn how to easily incorporate signs into your day and your lessons to help your children as they learn to read and as they improve their reading skills. With Amylee Udell of www.sign2speak.com.

Topic: TBA
These topics from September - January will be discussing forms of education such as Classical, Montessori, Waldorf, Eclectic and Religious Curriculum. If you are a parent or guardian who would be willing to come and discuss your educating methods as well as bring samples of any curriculum and/or resources you use please send me an email at NMHomeschoolCommunityUpdates@gmail.com with your name, which topic you would like to speak under and when is the best month for you.
The first few people who respond will determine in which month the topics will show up. Just as examples we hope to have samples of and be able to discuss resources such as Clonlara, Sonlight, The Well-Trained Mind, Oak Meadow, Calvert, Tapestry of Grace, Five in a Row, A Full Year Notebook System and so much more!
Note: During the Religious Curriculum discussion we do not discriminate against and respect all forms of religion and while the materials available are predominantly Christian if there is someone who wants to come and discuss what they use that follows their faith they are welcome. This is a sensitive topic and while we will be discussing resources, curriculum and books that we use that follow our faith we will NOT be discussing faith and the discussion will remain respectful of all attending.
