Hey Guys
It was great getting together again and having some fun!  I am looking forward to more fun and that fun will include getting into some serious book discussion!  You know me, I love book discussions!  I wanted to remind you that we will be discussing Chapters 1 and 2 from TJED for Teens and the first half of Huck Finn.  Please come prepared and ready to participate.  Also as you read from the TJED book will you jot down one question that we can add to our discussion.  Thanks much!  Heather

Heather Friant's home

This will be my 3rd year in FSA. I absolutely love working with clubs and all the various activities we've done over the years. That said, I consider my participation in Book Club to be the most rewarding and educational of them all.

The books we have read have been life-changing for me personally. They always seemed to come at a time when I needed to learn that particular thing and definitely helped me in my homeschooling. From each I feel like I have received a world-class education! If you want to be a better teacher, mother, person there are great books that will help and inspire.

Does it get any better? Yes!!! To be able to then meet together with like-minded women and share in their wisdom, insights, and life experiences, their joys and challenges of teaching--that is the icing on the cake! Can you tell I am still basking in the glow of last night's discussion of Joan of Arc?:)--so enjoyable! Even if you don't get a chance to read the book selection for the month, come for the discussion. You will not be disappointed.

What blessings are good literature and good company!

If you have read a book that helped you immensely in any area of your life please come and suggest it for a book club selection.

Here is a compilation of some of the works we've read/discussed:

Totto-chan-- Set in Japan, a true story of a brilliant teacher who changed the lives of his students through is revolutionary yet simple educational philosophies.

The Call to Brilliance --finding and bringing out the talents and brilliance in each of our children

Honey for a Child's Heart -- importance of reading aloud to children. Suggested readings for each age.

The Anatomy of Peace --and I'd like to add The Bonds that Make us Free -- changing our relationships by changing ourselves first. a MUST READ!

Wild Days--Keeping Nature Journals

Beginner's Guide to Constructing the Universe -- packed with info about the beauty and symbolism of numbers and how they are ever-present in nature.

The Story of Science-- The Scientific Revolution explained as in an engaging story.

The Majesty of Books -- summary of great works of literature and great ideas for keeping your own life books.

Jane Eyre -- writing at its' best

Alas, Babylon -- fiction novel of what life would be like in the event of a world war/nuclear distaster.

A Thomas Jefferson Education -- teaching children to learn through their passions

A Charlotte Mason Companion -- a breath of fresh air--simplifying and enjoying the learning process for our children.

Miniture Horse Heaven

 We had a wonderful time at the Leaver Farms, learning about, grooming and feeding the horses. Cathy showed us how to properly groom these little guys and let us help. Our horse loving girls were ecstatic and these miniature horses were the perfect size to handle. Becky brought apples for us to feed to the horses and Cathy let us go right in with the big group and pet and love them. The girls were in horse heaven. We had a great time!

A huge thanks to Cathy for her time with us - if you want to send her a thank you note - (1287 Jones Rd. Monroe 84754.)
