Heart to Heart Substance of the Unseen

Last Sunday at Church, our son Paul had a chance to share as part of a teaching team. The theme was out-

reach. He shared about something that I hadn’t realized had taken place. It happened while we were taking care of

our niece and nephew for about 16 months. A lifetime friendship had been built between Paul and his cousins,

Alex and Casey. His heart was to bring Christ to them in anyway he could throughout his life. When we took in

these children they were 15 and 18 years old. Their mom had just died of ALS and my brother had lost everything.

He brought them to Bill and me with only 2 small backpacks. I didn’t know how long they would be staying. I

called them “children on loan from God.” My brother went into a sober living home and eventually recovered

enough to take his children back. The next year Alex graduated from Troy Tech and was chosen to give a speech at

the graduation. He made a reference to staying in Covina at our home as being the reason he could continue at his

beloved high school. He is now attending University of Chicago on a full scholarship.

Hebrews 11:1 “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” When the

children came, I didn’t know what the future held for them. They just showed up on my doorstep (with their dog). I

looked to Jesus for help. I just began to take care of them by faith. My whole family embraced them. My two mar-

ried children invited them over to their homes and Paul shared our home. We had only seen them intermittently

throughout their lives and didn’t really know them. My brother Chris somehow knew we would care for them. He

told me later that when he and his wife had come to our house once and seen our family they commented to each

other when they left that, “maybe there is something to this Christianity.”

Hebrews 11:6 “But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that

He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.” Last Sunday I was able to witness the sub-

stance of the unseen… how God works in the past, present and future of our lives. How He is faithful in all things

and why He wants us to be faithful in the small things that he calls us to do. Whether it is to cook, clean, take in a

family member, or encourage a friend. He is working in our lives and in the lives of those we love.

Keep up the great work with your children and remember that He is a rewarder to those who diligently

seek Him.

A Word to Fathers ~ By Bill Stephens

The Benefit of Peers

I met a junior high teacher at the gym. He was expressing to me some of the frustrations he experi-

enced in teaching. He said he often asked himself the question, “When did stupid ever become cool?” Some

of his students had no interest in learning. Teaching these kids correct grammar seemed pointless. These kids

had their own way of talking that was barely understandable to an adult. I could understand the frustration

this teacher was experiencing but, I also knew the answer to the problem. The answer is to take these students

out of the school setting, away from their peer group. That seems like a radical solution but I am convinced

that would have been the only solution.

The psychologist, Dr. Harold McCurdy,PhD published a study years ago that compared the childhoods

of twenty geniuses. He found three areas of commonality.

1. “A high degree of attention focused upon the child by parents and other adults expressed in intensive edu-

cational measures and abundant love.” In other words, the parents spent a lot of time reading to the child and

other creative educational endeavors.

2. Reduced contact with his/her peer group. Boys and girls who became great men and women spend their

childhood in the company of adults. McCurdy explains that “The peer group is not very wise. It emphasizes

short-term pleasure at the expense of long-term fulfillment. Adults provide a much wiser, long-term approach

to learning, as well as life in general. One caveat to this statement: You, as a homeschool parent have the

luxury to direct your child to other children that are a good match in character and intelligence.

3. A significant amount of imaginative play. Allowing your child to use his/her imagination. There are

many toys available that are made to challenge the imagination. When I was young, my parents bought me an

Erector Set which I spent hours enjoying. (One benefit of that toy—I wasn’t meant to become a structural en-

gineer.)

So in conclusion, the benefit of peers toward their spiritual and intellectual development?

Not much.

DISNEY YOUTH EDUCATION PROGRAM

We are looking into the possibility of setting up a field trip to do a Disney Youth Education Series program at Disneyland.

Because it would be a more expensive field trip and it would require at least 10 participants, we want to see who would be

interested in attending. The programs we are thinking about are called Exploring the Golden State (3rd - 5th grade) and Prop-

erties of Motion Physics Lab (6th - 12th grade). A brief overview of each program: 1) Exploring the Golden State – Stu-

dents in grades 3-5 act as early settlers as they travel through Disney California Adventure Park to explore the four regions of

California; Native Americans, the Gold Rush and California Missions. During this 2.5-hour program students will learn about

the state's rich history including the influential events and people that shaped the Golden State including Chuck Yeager, Ame-

lia Earhart, Howard Hugh, John Muir and Walt Disney. They will also be inspired as they learn of the obstacles early Califor-

nians overcame to fulfill their dreams. 2) Properties of Motion Physics Lab – During this 3-hour interactive learning experi-

ence, students in grades 6-12 will learn the role of mechanical physics at Disney California Adventure Park. Students will

study Newton's Laws of Motion and use the scientific method to explore the practical uses of magnetism, friction, gravity and

different forms of energy. With the Park as their learning lab, students will use hands-on experiments to see and test the rela-

tionship between physics and their favorite Disney attractions. Both programs cost $37.00 for the Disney Youth Education

Series Experience Only Ticket. Each programs needs to have a minimum of 10 kids. For the first 10 kids, two chaperones

(parents) are allowed, and for every 10 kids thereafter, one chaperone is allowed (so if we had 30 kids attend a program, then 3

chaperones could attend that one program). No more than the allowed number of chaperones can attend (so most parents

would not be permitted to attend the program). If we have enough interest, we are thinking of setting this up sometime be-

tween February and May 2014.

Please contact Denise at [email protected], 909-949-7057 or sign-up at Park Day or one of the school sites by Friday,

September 20th if you are interested in having your child/children attend one of these programs. Please include grade level.

TIME: The performance begins at 10:00 am (the show is about 1 hr. and 10 min. in length). HOWEVER, it is first come,

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”.

Materials: 3-ring binder and paper, ruler (inches and cm), scientific calculator, others as instructed

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.
