possible.

MTV True Life: I'm
Homeschooled We’re looking for people who
want to tell their stories, share their opinions, and
possibly dispel some misconceptions about what it really
means to learn at home. Our goal -- as with all episodes of
“True Life” -- is to help MTV’s young audience understand
why many young people, and their parents, choose to
homeschool.
More Camps Choreography
Workshop, the Witte, and the Alamo.
Children's Vegetable Garden
Program The San Antonio Botanical Garden in partnership with Texas AgriLife
Extension Service, provide an opportunity for children to grow their
own vegetables and ornamental plants with the help of mentors from the
Bexar County Master Gardeners. Each child is allotted one plot,
approximately 4’x 28’ in size. Children have fun growing different
types of seeds, herbs, vegetables, and ornamental annual flowers.
Weekly educational presentations pertaining to gardening will
stimulate these young minds as well as children participate in fun,
hands-on Junior Master Gardener activities after they have tended
their garden chores.
Upcoming Camps Summer
camps from the San Antonio Museum of Arts and the San Antonio
Botanical Gardens.
Online Writing Workshops for
Summer and Fall I have developed two writing
courses: a junior high creative writing course that focuses
on poetry and short fiction, and 2) a high school
composition class that mirrors college freshman composition.
Both classes are online and consist of a series of weekly
modules emailed to students and parents. The courses last
twelve weeks. I limit the number of students in these
courses so that I may provide quality feedback on student
work. Comments such as, "Great job" or "Nice work" do not
give students any information on how to improve their
writing skills. I provide a combination of constructive
criticism and praise to build confidence and enable students
to hone their skills as writers. Registration for both
summer and fall has begun.
Free Lunches for Kids Starting June 10 and ending July 7, Memorial Library is designated
as a San Antonio Food Bank Summer Food Service Site. What does that
mean? It means Memorial Library will start serving FREE lunches to
kids, ages 1 to 18, Monday through Friday, in the Memorial Library
Meeting Room!
Homeschool Research
Survey As part of an independent study, I am collecting
data regarding perceptions from homeschool students and parents and would appreciate your insight.
Below you will find two links to my survey--one for a student who is
either A JUNIOR, SENIOR OR ENROLLING HIGH SCHOOL FRESHMAN IN THE FALL
OF 2009, the other for the parent of the aforementioned student.
Each survey asks approximately 15 questions and should take no longer
than 10 minutes to complete. As part of an independent study, I am

San Antonio’s children currently in high school grades (ages 14 & up)

will inspire children to become astronauts, engineers, and scientists.
San Antonio Homeschool Baseball The San Antonio Homeschool Wolverines Baseball club is looking for
high school aged baseball players. We are a homeschool varsity level
baseball team. Unlike the traditional schools, finding players for a
homeschool team can be challenging. Based upon the numbers of
homeschool baseball teams in the Dallas and Houston areas, we are
convinced that there are players in the San Antonio area that we are
not finding.

C.L.A.S.S. Caring, Learning and

which stands for Caring, Learning and Some Smiles. Which is
something we all strive for---to help our kids learn with

the SW side of San Antonio and surrounding areas (but open
to anyone wanting to join) who homeschool their kids.
