Heart to Heart Burned Out, Tired Out, or Just Out of it.

Home schooling can seem frustrating at times. Especially in March when we think our children

should be repeating back the lessons we have so carefully instructed them. Instead we wake up and the

house is a mess, the children are fighting and not listening. They can’t seem to remember what we taught

them yesterday. All seems lost or so futile. For many of us the answer is to put them back into school.

Surely a professional teacher will do a better job than us. But wait… we must remember the vision. We

have counted the cost of home schooling, but now we want to give up. Our dream of godly children

around our table is becoming less attainable. This is the time to pray, read our Bibles and go to the Lord

for encouragement. We must remember that parents are pivotal in communicating God’s truth to their

children.

Message Bible / Romans 12:9-21

Love from the center of who you are; don’t fake it. Run for dear life from evil; hold on for dear

life to good. Be good friends who love deeply; practice playing second fiddle.

Don’t burn out; keep yourselves fueled and aflame. Be alert servants of the Master, cheerfully ex-

pectant. Don’t quit in hard times; pray all the harder. Help needy Christians; be inventive in hospitality.

Bless your enemies; no cursing under your breath. Laugh with your happy friends when they’re

happy; share tears when they’re down. Get along with each other; don’t be stuck-up. Make friends with

nobodies; don’t be the great somebody.

Don’t hit back; discover beauty in everyone. If you’ve got it in you, get along with everybody.

Don’t insist on getting even, that’s not for you to do. “I’ll do the judging,” says God. “I’ll take care of it.”

Our Scriptures tell us that if you see your enemy hungry, go buy that person lunch, or if he’s

thirsty, get him a drink. Your generosity will surprise him with goodness. Don’t let evil get the best of

you; get the best of evil by doing good.

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart”………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….…………….Deuteronomy 6:5-9

A Word to Fathers ~ By Bill Stephens

Dale Carnegie

I would like to recommend a book that every teenager should read, Dale Carnegie’s “How to Win Friends and

Influence People.” This book is by far the best self-help book ever written. The title says it all. We live in a

society where young people are not taught to “win” people over to their side. Most likely because they do not

believe they have a side to win people over to. Young people need to know that they are leaving an impression

wherever they go and all impressions lead somewhere. What makes Dale Carnegie’s book so effective is that

all his principles are focused on the other person. Ultimately, how to “win” people is to put them first. Here is

a sample of some of Dale Carnegie’s principles: Don’t criticize, condemn or complain. Give honest and sin-

cere appreciation. Become genuinely interested in other people. Smile. Remember the other person’s name

and use it often. Avoid arguments. If you are wrong admit it quickly. Let the other person do the talking.

Try to honestly see from the other person’s point of view. Begin with praise and honest appreciation.

All of these principles are biblically based and powerful in their simplicity. The overarching theme in all of

these principles is that a person has to be in control of his own emotions. Eighty percent of success is being

well-liked. A happy, positive person is going to draw people to him. A person who makes other people feel

important will be a success in whatever he or she does.

Yearbook Coordinator Wanted Looking for people to take my place beginning next school year 2014-2015. I will be

retiring and I will need to train one or two people this June 2014. The yearbook is done

entirely on the computer and the company provides support to make your job easier. If

you like scrapbooking, you'll enjoy this. It's rewarding to know that you are capturing

memories of the children and their parents. If interested, please contact me.

BATTLESHIP IOWA

THURSDAY, MAY 15th. Grades K – High School. Welcome Aboard! Battleship IOWA is a unique opportunity for

you and your kids to engage with the past and connect with history through an oriented adventure on board the Battle-

ship of President's. Built in 1940, the USS IOWA served our country for over 50 years. Designated the “World's Great-

est Naval Ship” due to her big guns, heavy armor, fast speed, longevity and modernization, she kept pace with technol-

ogy for more than 50 years. During her more than 50 years in service, IOWA has welcomed and escorted our nation's

Commander in Chief on many occasions. No other battleship in our nation's history has been host to more U.S. Presi-

dents than the IOWA. The IOWA served her country in World War II, the Korean Conflict, the Cold War and Post Cold

War. Today veterans, their proud families, school children and curious international tourists are awed by IOWA's proud

legacy as one of the fastest and most powerful ships ever to sail the world's oceans. Teak decks and steel bulkheads

echo the words and deeds of significant individuals including three U.S. Presidents, distinguished military figures, count-

less foreign dignitaries, and most importantly, thousands of her own heroic IOWA sailors. Just a few of the highlights

on this 1 ½ to 2 hour guided tour: crew living areas on the tour show you how officers and crew slept, ate, and relaxed

when not on duty; IOWA's World-famous Captain's Cabin was the actual living and sleeping quarters of President

Franklin D. Roosevelt. FDR and his War Cabinet planned major WW2 strategy at the table in 1943; see the recently

restored Admiral's Bridge, where three of America's Five-Star Admirals observed IOWA's underway operations; plus

much, much more to see. Due to the historic nature of the ship, wheelchairs, walkers, and strollers are not permit-

ted on-board.

TIME: Please arrive by 10:10 am. The tour will start promptly at 10:30 am.

COST: $8.00 per child and per adult. Also, if you are interested in eating lunch on-board, you can purchase lunch for

$13.08 (this includes tax) per person. Lunch is eaten in the Crew Mess and includes a selection of deli-style sandwiches,

chips, cookies, and waters. There is a minimum of 20 lunches that would need to be purchased for the group in order to

do this – so let me know if you are interested.

Please make your check payable to CCL and write in the memo area “IOWA”.

NEW TEACHER/CLASS INTRODUCTION!

Hello my name is Susanne Jackson and I am a certified Sign Language Interpreter. I have spent the last 20 years interpreting in the

field of education. From Elementary School and Junior High School to the last 12 years at the College level. This also includes inter-

preting church services and worship. I am also a wife of 19 years to my wonderful husband and a mother of four fabulous children

ages junior high to a toddler.

I absolutely love working with students and I'm excited to teach your child the beautiful language of American Sign Language

(ASL). My goal is to take students with little or no knowledge of ASL and Deaf Culture and provide them with the skills needed to

communicate comfortably in the deaf community. We will accomplish this by forming a language community and by creating an

interactive classroom environment.

Introduction to American Sign Language (Junior High Course):

American Sign Language(ASL) is a visually active language. This will be a creative, fun and

exciting exploration of basic signs used in everyday interactions and special occasions. Our topics

will included beginner conversational skills, religious signs through scripture and worship, story telling,

games and more. This class will build vocabulary and prepare students for future ASL classes. Students will need

to bring a spiral notebook. There will be quizzes and a final project incorporating what the students have learned in class.

(2005 publish date) teacher's ISBN# 1-57924-893-4

This is a full year, high school level course - a God-centered, Scripturally-based approach to stewardship, and the finan-

cial transactions that are encountered in every-day grown-up real life. Based on the five essential principles for the con-

sumer: 1) plan ahead 2) shop for bargains 3) maintain the value of your belongings 4) know when to borrow, and 5)

keep accurate financial records.

Will cover such things as income and tax deductions, budgeting, personal banking, borrowing money, transportation

costs/investments ( buying and maintaining a car), food costs and budgeting strategies, clothing costs and budgeting

strategies, housing costs and budgeting (including home purchases and maintenance), life and health insurance, income

taxes (including completion of the basic tax forms), and vacation planning. (whew!)

These are BASIC LIFE SKILLS that everyone needs, and few, at this time in their life (or ever) are given adequate in-

struction on! Students will learn concepts in class, then complete daily assignments at home. Unit tests will be sent

home, to be administered by a parent or instructor, and brought back to the next class session. TEACHER’S EDITION

REQUIRED -- Parent(s) welcome and encouraged, but not required, to accompany students to class, in order to support

study during the week (or to learn alongside their student!). Parents or students will correct the daily work.

Math concepts will be basic, but there’s quite a bit of it!! -- at least completion of a Pre-Algebra class would be

wise. Ratios, Percentages, basic equation solving, and measurements (including conversions) will be COVERED, but a

basic knowledge would be good . . . This is a great math option for the student who is NOT strong in math skills, but

needs to get the required classes in for graduation, as WELL as being a terrific life-skills course for ANYONE, includ-

ing the mathematically gifted :-) Recommended for students who are seniors, especially before they “head out into the

world”.

PRIOR TO ENROLLMENT - I do recommend, for most, that students take Alg 2 the year immediately following Alg 1,

if they are intending to do BOTH classes - Alg 2 content relies HEAVILY on Alg 1 content!!.

This is a presentation of Algebra as an exercise in stewardship of creation, developing thinking skills and Christ-

likeness . . . wow! Chapter 1 dives right into factoring polynomials, binomials, and trinomials, assuming a pretty strong

mastery. Text moves through linear equations and inequalities, linear relations, quadratic equations and functions,

graphing, linear programming, radicals and exponential functions and equations, imaginary and other complex numbers,

rational expressions and equations, trigonometry, and matrix algebra. Students will learn concepts in class, then com-

plete daily assignments at home. Daily homework assignments will be corrected by student or parent. Unit tests will be

sent home, to be administered by a parent or instructor, and brought back to the next class session. TEACHER’S EDI-

TION REQUIRED -- Parent(s) welcome and encouraged, but not required, to accompany students to class, in order to

This is a full year course. Will cover skills required to proceed into High School Algebra, and students completing it will be WELL PRE-

PARED for Algebra 1.

**I get asked often, which math should my Jr Higher be doing?” If your student does a decent job (80% average) on basic mathematics,

especially multiplication & division, and maybe ok on fractions, he/she should take Pre-Algebra. The current “fashionable” trend in educa-

tion these days (public and private) is that students should take Algebra I in 8th grade, which would mean Pre-Alg in 7th. This works for

some, and is (in my opinion) a GRAVE mistake for a lot of others! According to Bob Jones, this is an 8th grade curriculum.

This class is available, as well, to High School students who require additional work on the basics!

Call me if you need to talk about any of this!

Starts right out working with equations, covering properties of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Will move into decimals,

integers, multiples, factors, fractions, equations and inequalities, ratio, proportion, percentages, geometry and graphing. Emphasis through

entire text is on equations and solving them, using all the mathematical concepts introduced. These basic skills would be prerequisite for an

Algebra course. Students will learn concepts in class, then complete daily assignments at home. Daily homework to be corrected by parent

and/or student. Tests will be sent home, to be administered by a parent or homeschooling teacher, and brought back to the next class ses-

sion. TEACHER’S

Modern World History In Modern World History we will not only be studying historical events, we will also be studying the meaning

of the world’s history. As Christians we believe we are all on a journey to the end of time. The Christian histo-

rian therefore, has great hope concerning the journey of man, his own journey in history, and the end of time.

As believers in Christ we acknowledge that God is active and at work in the world and in history. We also be-

lieve it is important for us to examine how and why different events happen, how they are connected to us to-

day, and how they relate to our salvation. In order to really understand history and our place in it, we will pay

special attention to the philosophy and theology that go along with that history. In order to explore the root of

things that happen, the Christian historian must include philosophy and theology in his study. If he does not,

then according to philosopher and historian Josef Pieper, he “is altogether unable to attain a serious view of the

totality of history.”

United States History For any students who are interested in or need to

take a United States History class this year: Greg Loumagne will be offering a U.S. History class this year.

Course description: In United States History we will not only be studying the historical

events from the pre-colonial era of the US to modern times, we will also be studying the meaning

of our nation's history. As Christians we believe we are all on a spiritual journey within time. The Chris-

tian historian therefore, has great hope concerning the journey of man, his own journey in history and the end

of time. As believers in Christ we acknowledge that God is active and at work in the world and in history. We

also believe it is important for us to examine how and why different events happen, how they are connected to

us today, and how they relate to our salvation. In order to really understand history and our place in it, we

will pay special attention to the philosophy and theology that go along with that history. In order to explore

the root of things that happen, the Christian historian must include philosophy and theology in his study. If he

does not, then according to philosopher and historian Joseph Pieper, he is "altogether unable to attain a seri-

ous view of the totality of history."

Classroom activities will include reading, writing, and discussion as well as time for lecture. Students will be

encouraged to not only learn the history of our nation but how it applies to their lives, especially their walk

with Jesus.
