Passing Help Along...Virtual Schools...pro's and con's

The SCHEA Convention was amazing! It was wonderful talking face to face with many of you! Please visit SCHEA's website and click on their information available from that page concerning

virtual schools and virtual charter schools. You need to be informed fully on the pro's and con's of this type of schooling and how it is different from 'homeschooling' as we know it.

PHA...Passing Help Along for Math and Science Assessment and Learning

ALEKS is a web-based, artificially intelligent assessment and learning system. ALEKS uses adaptive questioning to quickly and accurately determine exactly what a student knows and doesn't know in a course. ALEKS then instructs the student on the topics she is most ready to learn. As a student works through a course, ALEKS periodically reassesses the student to ensure that topics learned are also retained. ALEKS courses are very complete in their topic coverage and ALEKS avoids multiple choice questions. A student who shows a high level of mastery of an ALEKS course will be successful in the actual course she is taking.

Greetings!, 

The Summer Reading Splash! is in full swing.  We hope that your children are participating and having fun.  We are thrilled with all the positive comments that we have received from parents, and even more thrilled by the overwhelming response to our blog book contests!  It has been a great joy to read all the kids' answers - you have some very clever children. It is obvious that they enjoy reading!

  

We have added more resources to our Splash! website.  You'll want to be sure to check that out (details below)!  In the coming weeks and months, we will offer several freebies and downloads to enrich your family's reading fun!

Summer is a fantastic time to promote reading to your child(ren).  Take a break from your regular studies and just spend some time reading to and with your children.  Some of the best learning and the most exciting adventures can be found within the pages of a good book.

 

*If you are new to the Summer Reading Splash! it's not too late to start participating now.  And, don't forget to forward this email to all your homeschooling friends.  ALL HOMESCHOOL CHILDREN, regardless of age and/or grade, are eligible to participate.
