PAST CONFERENCE SESSIONS
SESSION: THE BIG PICTURE OF EDUCATION. WHY DO WE EDUCATE OUR CHILDREN?
It's hard to stay focused on the day-to-day busy-ness of raising our children if the big picture isn't firmly in our minds. We need to see the end goal, every day. This session will focus on the "why" of educating children, and the role of home education.
SESSION: DICTATION, LOVE, & LANGUAGE
Dictation, used well, is the single most effective and efficient tool at our disposal to teach all aspects of language arts. In a joyful learning environment, we discover the world of language one-on-one with our children. Each lesson is perfectly tailored to skill level and aptitude, from K to high school. Learn how all of the language arts can be taught in one 5-10 minute lesson daily.
SESSION: KEEPING THE RELATIONSHIP INTACT
Keeping our relationships intact with our children will be the way we gain their cooperation, but more importantly, how we maintain our influence with them as we raise them. Creating a sphere of influence, respect, and love is the way to joyful family living.
SESSION: FAMILY CENTRED LEARNING
SESSION: HOMESCHOOLING HIGH SCHOOL - TIPS FOR GETTING TO GRADUATION WITH GRACE
The idea of homeschooling high school can be daunting. Most people start asking questions about it while their children are in kindergarten! You can do it. Here are some helpful tools that Bonnie will offer: negotiating the teen years graciously and developing your high schooler’s transcript. Parents with kids in high school, or entering high school in the next couple of years should attend. But if you have kids in kindergarten, you are welcome - just bear in mind, things may be different ten years down the line!
Bonnie Landry is an ordinary wife and mom, living on Vancouver Island, British Columbia. She and her husband Albert have raised their seven children ranging in age from 15-34. Six are graduated (homeschooled all the way) and off doing grown up things: university, jobs, raising families. She has only one high schooler left at home! Bonnie’s mission is joy. To attain joy, education in her home is simple and orderly, relationship-based, and heavy on coziness.
