CENTER FOR SEMICONDUCTED LEARNING OPEN HOUSE - August 2, 2014
Open House for Prospective Members!
Are you currently homeschooling? Interested in homeschooling? Looking for an alternative option for next year? If so, come by our open house next weekend to check out the Center for Semiconducted Learning, our year-round homeschooling center for kids who are looking for alternatives to school.
Open House @ Center for Semiconducted Learning
Parts and Crafts, 577 Somerville Ave, Somerville MA
Saturday August 2, 12-2 pm.
CSCL is a year-round immersive program for kids who want to make, build, play, and engage with a variety of traditional academic subjects in non-traditional ways. We run a community space with lots of tools, resources and projects, designed to meet a range of homeschooling needs. We'd love to meet you and your family!
RSVP HERE: CSCL Open House + Family Day
"Meet and Greet" Homeschooling Series
Starting in August 2014, we're offering a series of free community workshops to parents and families who are considering homeschooling / alternative education to network and build relationships with other homeschoolers in the Somerville area. Each workshop will highlight some topic in alternative education, with a short presentation and time and shared discussion.
MEET AND GREET: WHAT IS UNSCHOOLING?
Thursday August 7, 6-8 pm @ Parts and Crafts
Our first workshop will feature Kelly Taylor, who will be sharing her experiences in unschooling her oldest kid, as well as homeschooling parents who've opted to go this route with their kids. What is unschooling? How do you define it? How has it worked for you? Free and open to the public.
MEET AND GREET: HOW TO WRITE YOUR HOMESCHOOLING PLAN.
Thursday August 21, 6-8 pm @ Parts and Crafts
For parents who are planning to start homeschooling in the fall and want help writing up their plan for the local school board. We'll have some samples of different kinds of plans -- fully fleshed out, super skeletal -- and will hear from some parents on their experiences getting their plans authorized by the local school committee.
MEET AND GREET: HOW TO PICK A MATH CURRICULUM.
Thursday September 25, 6-8 pm @ Parts and Crafts
How much math to you want to be doing? Do you want to be doing math at all to start out? If yes, what curricula do you pick from? (there are so many!) We don't have the answers, but we do have a reasonable amount of experience helping kids transition from in-school to self-directed math work. In this workshop we'll introduce a couple of options we use at Parts and Crafts, share our experiences on the pros and cons of each, and hear from some homeschooling families on what's worked for them.
CSCL is currently enrolling for Fall 2014!
If you're interested in coming by for a visit, email contact@partsandcrafts to set up a time in August! Visiting hours are 3-5:30 (i.e. after camp hours) -- please call ahead and we'll arrange for a staff member to give you a tour and talk a bit about how the program works. Day visits are possible but need to be arranged in advance.
