January Meeting

See the sidebar for information regarding January's meeting.

I'm going back (again) to the time-tested family read.  I emailed out a collection of short writings about family reading.  If anyone knows how to attach it to the blog, please let me know how!!  If not, I hope you enjoy it from the comfort of your email account!  Love you!

Next Meeting: October 22nd

We will be meeting on October 22nd at 7:30 pm to discuss the first six chapters of the book A Mind at a Time by Mel Levine.

So far, I'm finding the book very interesting with lots to think about and apply. I hope you all have a chance to take a look at it. I'll see you at my house (1762 Downington Ave.) on October 22nd!

Next Meeting: September 24, 7:30pm

Hi all, here's my address for all who can come next week! 363 S Douglas St. (1250 E), 84102. From 1300 East, go west on 400 South, then north on Douglas. We are the red brick house on the east side of the street. Although you may notice there is restricted parking on our street, it is not in effect after 6pm -  just park anywhere along the street.

We will be discussing "Calm and Compassionate Children" by Susan Usha Dermond. Can't wait to see you all there!

Play School Co-op

Hi ladies,

I wondered if any of you would be interested in a Playschool co-op for our 3 and 4 year old children?  I'm not sure exactly how spread out we are (I'm in Millcreek), or if anyone else is interested, but I thought I'd throw it out there.  Here's what I'm thinking:

Tuesday and Thursday morning maybe 9-11am
5-6 kids
Rotate houses, with each mom taking a week every 5-6 weeks
No "curriculum," but maybe choose a subject your child is interested in, and during playschool read some (age appropriate) books about it, talk about it, act it out, make it with play dough, sing, play, play, play, etc.

You ladies are the education experts, so the content is entirely up for re-thinking.

Anyway, I have a (barely) 4 year old who would love to have time to play with other kids, read books with mom (and other mommies), and work with his hands. If you are interested, please let me know!

I just signed up for a newsletter today that intrigued me.  I'm sharing it with you in case you are also looking for ways to promote leadership and freedom and heal our ailing society.  Or if you are just looking for something else to read in the scads of free time on your hands.
