Invention afternoon\, Monday\, May 4th. Here’s the info again\: I’d like to offer up our basement the afternoon of Monday\, May 4th\, starting at 1PM\, for an “invention afternoon.” We have a room in the basement where we keep a whole bunch of reclaimed materials\, art supplies\, and building tools\, and Charlie uses them to build various things of his own imagination. At the moment it’s lots of pretend weapons\, but he’s also created many other things. The room is pretty small\, but the kids can spread out into the main part of the basement as well. I think that a maximum of 10 kids would work. If you’re interested\, I’ll need you to bring some materials to share with the group\, because we don’t have enough stuff for everyone. If everyone brought a few things (whatever is easy/cheap for them to obtain) then they should have plenty to work with. Also of course if there is some particular item your child wants to build something with it’s fine to bring that for him or her. If your child needs supervision when around hand tools and the hot glue gun and who knows what else\, you’ll need to provide it. I will stay within range to hear very loud screams of pain\, but I won’t be directly supervising. Please email me if interested. I’ll put a list of ideas for materials below\, but anything is fine. These are just ideas. Hope to see you there! -Jody Some ideas for materials\: Cardboard tubes (from paper towel rolls\, but heavier ones are more popular.) Pvc pipes and connectors of any diameter (we have the tool to easily cut these without using a hacksaw.) Small\, broken appliances Bubble wrap Brown paper DUCT TAPE\, various colors Scrap wood Cereal boxes Soda bottles Oatmeal canisters Spray paint (especially silver-colored for some reason) String Rubber bands Batteries (you never know) and wire\, and small electrical components like little light bulbs and buzzers. (We have a wire stripper/cutter) Tools (We have all the basic tools\, but if it’s a large group it might be good to have more.) Anything else that seems like a good idea END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20120522T012258Z DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090505T190000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090505T210000Z UID:http://www.enrichnc.org/node/339 URL;VALUE=URI:http://www.enrichnc.org/node/339 SUMMARY:FREE COLLEGE PLANNING AND FUNDING INFORMATION SESSIONS DESCRIPTION:Dear CHEA Directors\,  \; Following is the notice about college planning and funding information sessions we previously discussed.  Also note there is an attached post card invitation.

The husband-and- wife team of Joseph and Gail Anderson founded The Healing Force in 1975. The Andersons have acted with the Afro-American Folkloric Troupe and studied with the National Black Theater of New York. With their daughter\, Sonji Gardner\, and son\, Karim\, they began full-time professional performances in 1990. Their name\, The Healing Force\, was suggested by a friend to symbolize both the healing quality of art and the power of its presence. The Healing Force has traveled the country and appeared in venues such as The National Storytelling Festival\, the Bay Area Storytelling Festival\, and numerous festivals\, schools\, colleges\, churches\, museums\, family reunions\, and community events. Through the years\, the Andersons have enhanced their performances with training from cultural masters Mohammed Da Costa of Guinea\, Djimo Kouyate of Senegal\, and Mamady Kelta of Guinea\; through travel to Nigeria and Ghana\; and study at the 1997 and 1998 Summer Jembe Institutes. The Healing Force turns any appearance into a lively\, colorful celebration of African culture and spirit with booming drums\, rattling gourds (shekeres)\, and thumb pianos\, as they tell tales and sing songs. The use of drums and musical instruments is important to their mission. To share African culture\, they must share music and dance\, which are woven into everyday life and are an integral part of every important event in Africa. They point out the similarity of African folktales to traditional American folktales. Gail observes\, "\;African folk tales talk about family\, adventure\, tricksters\, love\, community loyalty\, life’s lessons\, etc."\; African arts\, history\, and family genealogy are traditionally passed on orally from generation to generation. African storytelling is a communal\, participatory experience. The Healing Force wants each of their performances to be a group experience for both the audience and themselves. Look forward to joining The Healing Force in a rousing\, high-energy celebration of life! To learn more about The Healing Force\, visit their website\, www.thehealingforceonline.com.

Tapestry covers history\, geography\, church history\, Bible\, philosophy\, fine arts and government. In Tapestry\, children of all ages study the same subjects at the same time\, but at their level\, greatly simplifying multi-level teaching.

Electives include public speaking and debate taught using Communicators for Christ materials\, Apologia Science (General\, Physical\, Biology\, and Chemistry) taught by a science teacher\, current geography\, and CLEP Prep. There is\, no cost to the basic co-op other than a supply fee for materials as all moms will be making a contribution of some kind involving their love\, energy\, prayers and teaching. (Don't panic if you're new to homeschooling or still figuring it out....You do have something to give and there are many important ways you can help.) Electives often include a fee.
