We are blessed in our area to have a Catholic homeschool group that is informal, yet meets on a consistent basis. We will be meeting (Moms only) for dinner tomorrow night to discuss our upcoming year. I created an agenda (am a strong choleric, can you tell?) and thought I would post it here in case anyone else is planning a meeting around this same time.
After downloading a template from Microsoft I switched a few things around. For each time we meet I put a blank line so we can write in what we will be doing. The biggest goal is to decide what "Theme/Fieldtrip/Project/Feast
Day" we will choose for each time we meet.
I also added the major feast days of the next upcoming months to help steer us in the right direction. I know I will probably forget to bring a religious calendar, and my palm still doesn’t have the Saints downloaded on it (more on that later).
Some of our moms are not as interested in organizing activities, etc. That is fine! We like to simply have a fun time of fellowship and time for the kids to play with their friends. However some of the moms do wish to organize an activity or project (can you tell I’m one of those moms?). If everyone else agrees I would love to have the kids create a lapbook on their favorite subject and then present it to the group. It may be a book they are reading (I’m thinking Red Sails to Capri?), a special feast day that month, etc.
Here are the links to the agenda I created, and one of these links is in a .pdf format for those coming tomorrow night. Feel free to use the Word document and change things around to fit your needs. Enjoy and happy planning!
