IDEA Homeschool is now enrolling for the 2016-2017 school year. Check out the website atideafamilies.org. Click enroll now. Families are always welcome to come visit the staff at the office in the Red Diamond Center. Come check out the library, Resource Room, used curriculum, and speak with a certified teacher. IDEA staff is here to serve families in their homeschooling journey.

IDEA’s 18th Annual Curriculum Fair is on May 4 at Kalifonsky Christian Center.

There will be a buffet breakfast and Keynote Speaker – Carol Simpson, presenting:

“How to Make the Most of This Season of Life”

Life consists of many seasons. One of the most difficult — and most rewarding — is the child-rearing and homeschooling season. How do people get through the days when they feel over-whelmed? How do they take the long view when their days are filled with seemingly meaningless tasks that will have to be done again tomorrow? How do they make the most of this season before these days are gone? Carol has raised seven children and homeschooled for the last thirty years. Humorous and encouraging, she has practical tips to help families get the most out of this special season in life. Tickets are $12 at the IDEA office for the keynote breakfast.

The IDEA Curriculum Fair is open to the public. Tickets are $15 pre-paid or $20 at the door. Tickets may be purchased at the IDEA office in the Red Diamond Center. All currently enrolled IDEA families are free of charge.

The fair provides a time for local educators to advertise a product, lessons or services. Each year, IDEA provides hand-out sacks to attendees. Advertisements could be included in these sacks. The small fee to include an advertisement goes directly to youth groups for their activities. Send 200 flyers and a check for $15 to the address at the bottom, following these guidelines:

— Weight – only catalogs or flyers that weigh less than two ounces each may be sent to be included in these sacks.

— Content – Materials for the hand-out sacks must be homeschool-related. If families are not sure if an item would qualify, please get it pre-approved before printing multiple copies.

— Note to vendors for activities or instruction; no vendor flyer may claim that the vendor is “approved by IDEA.” They may state that they are willing to bill IDEA directly if that is the case.

— Payment – Enclose a $15 check in the box with 200 flyers.

Shipping – Please mail or deliver flyers to the office below so that they arrive by April 15. Please specify “Hand-Out Sacks” on a box.

Kalifornsky Beach Elementary

Mr. Daniels’s class has been electrified! They are studying electricity that is. When anyone asks an average fourth grade student, “where does electricity come from?” they usually get an answer like, “Electricity comes from the wall.” Mr. Daniels is broadening students’ understanding electrical energy for the next two weeks. They will research electricity and learn how it travels and makes things work. Then they will have to work in teams to create circuit board with three working circuits and one that does not. They will trade circuit boards with another group. Finally, they will have to figure out the other group’s circuit paths on their circuit board. They will explore what it takes to turn on a light bulb, a motor, and a buzzer. They will also learn how to integrate a switch in their circuit. This is all part of a larger unit on Energy.
