Heather in OK Posted July 9, 2008 Author Share Posted July 9, 2008 We were in CHEER for a while but switched back to FAITH. :) CHEER is a great group. Very well organized and wonderful Ladies Meetings. I still see a few of the ladies from the group since my girls belong to the Girl Scout group that was started through CHEER. It just wasn't the homeschool group for us anymore. I prefer things that don't require joining committees and attending mandatory meetings. You would be required to join a team but the meetings aren't mandatory. BTW - How are Erin and her family doing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snickelfritz Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Since I posted that I didn't want to join, I've come across a reason that I may join. My dd (5) has started repeatedly saying that she wants to go to school. I think the culprit is all of the well meaning people that she talks the ear off of when we're out and about. Once they find out she's 5, they start asking about starting school next year. Going to kindergarten, etc... This happens over and over and over. We do a few activities with mostly traditionally schooled kids. Dance, gymnastics, & BSF. I'm also talking with a friend about doing a once a month informal coop. Make crafts, cook something, valentine party, etc.. But, she also just has 2 kids. I'm seriously thinking I should also join a homeschool group, so she can feel "normal." Whadya think? If I don't *have* to go to meetings, we can skip them when we're feeling busy. Also, I've read through their faith statement. I'm fine with most of it. We're Christians, go to a Baptist church, and attend Bible Study Fellowship. BUT, I would probably be called an "old earth creationist." When the statement of faith says that it's against "secular humanist beliefs" and includes evolution.....what does that mean? I don't feel the need to debate people about the different creation views, but I also will not lie to get into the group. Does that make sense?:confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't feel the need to debate people about the different creation views, but I also will not lie to get into the group. Does that make sense?:confused: As for good reasons to join a group....my children really like the social aspect of doing fieldtrips and group activities with other children occasionally.....I really like doing those with children of like-minded parents that usually have very similar expectations of their children. As for "secular humanist beliefs"....I believe that that means that they don't believe that man evolved from monkey......"old earth" VS "new earth" creation is a debate among christian. I think that there seem to me an almost even number of the two. And there are those who choose not to try to fathom all the complexities of the scienctific evidence VS the bible. If you feel that creation is not the issue but that "old" VS "new" earth is - just ask if it is a problem. Then you can join with a clean conscience. I am glad that you hesitate to sign something you are not sure you agree with. Shows great moral fiber! I would give you a high-5 for that if we were not on a message board! LOL!! Seriously, I am going to look into it b/c I was considering CHEER myself and would have the same issue. I will let you know what I discover.

I've talked it over with dh and he thinks that joining a homeschool group is a good idea, so that dd can realize there are lots of of homeschoolers and she can feel more "normal." In reading through the membership requirements, you have to attend 2(???) meetings before you join. So, that will give me a chance to check it out and make sure that everything is "copacetic."

Felicia Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 I miss homeschooling in Oklahoma. We were all born and raised there. We moved here to Nevada about 3 1/2 months ago for my husband's work. We were really spoiled there in Oklahoma. I just went to the convention here and it is nothing like back home. Homeschool sports are pretty much non-existant here. But there are other things that we are getting involved in and are looking for a home church. We found a good homeschooling group. It is small but there are good kids for mine to interact with. If you might have a mind to pray for some fellow Okies, please say one for us. Thanks for letting me ramble on. Blessings all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linda...inOwasso Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Hey Erica, have you considered Classical Conversations? There's a wonderful group in Tulsa that meets at Asbury (which wouldn't be far from you at all.) The kids spend a lot of time together so they're able to form real friendships. My girls and I are joining for 2008-09. They start up just after Labor Day. FYI: There's a practicum in Tulsa July 23 - 25 for moms & their children. It's FREE for parents and the kids attend camp while their parents are learning classical teaching methods. The cost for each child is $30 and it runs from 9am - 4pm. Not bad, huh?! Anyway, if you're looking for a summer boost and could use a few days of like-minded fellowship you might want to check it out! Linda :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OSU entomology center (insect study! we went with a couple friends year before last and it was just fascinating and they don't get many request either;)) Safari Joes animal sactuary What are you studying this year?? That's what spurs out out of the ordinary field trips... Have you looked into CHEER? I hear that it is really well organized and offers speakers at monthly meetings, fieldtrips, & some co-ops if you choose to do those later in life. I think that I would join it if I didn't live so far away and gas wasn't $4/gal! LOL!! I have thought of joining just to go to the monthly meetings. It meets somewhere off of the creek nation near or in BA. I live in broken arrow and am looking for nearby hs-ing moms too. I'm in a catholic group, but they really don't have anything for me or my kids. No activities. I just want to meet some moms, share some coffee, let the kids play, maybe go to the zoo together. Nothing requiring statements of faith or committee commitments. Just good old fashioned mom homeschooling support, kwim? And I really can't afford to drive all over town in my 12 passenger van. Gas prices = Ouch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sabrina Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Thanks Martha! I am going to check out the entymology department first. Do you have any contact information on that? Have any of you gone to the sheep farm in Claremore? It is really neat for all ages. The lady takes you through the sheep farm and teaches you all about the sheep and at the same time she correlates the sheeps needs with what is written in the 23rd Psalm. It is truly fascinating! I believe the farm is called Shepherd's Cross. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think a 1st grader and k'er would love it, but only if they are okay with real live bugs and wouldn't freak out. The lady there pulled out huge hand sized centipedes, those thumb sized cockroaches, spiders and LOTS more. All kiinds of really cool stuff. They talked about making anti-venom and the kids had a great time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to look into it a little more. In most groups one of two things happen--either there is childcare as an option or you keep your little ones with you while you sit in the class with your other children. For 6th grade and under the mom stays with their dc. If you have multiple dc in different rooms you can stay with the one who needs your attention the most or move around a little. The idea is mentoring for the moms as well as the tutoring for the dc. HTH! Terrill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snickelfritz Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Just show up to the first meeting? The website says the 2nd Tuesday. So, starting in August? I don't think I'm ready to commit to Classical Conversations. I think it makes more sense to do it when my younger dd is also ready for it. The year that they are 7 and 5, they will have aged out of going to BSF during the day and we can transition to Classical Conversations. Martha--There is a group of homeschoolers that meet at Martin Library, which isn't far from North Broken Arrow. About 31st and Garnett, I think. What general area of BA are you in? I'm north. The group is called Cornerstone. The only drawback, for me, was that they seemed to be more relaxed homeschoolers(based on reading their yahoo group postings.) I need encouragement on the path I've chosen. Otherwise, there are no committees or faith statements. You just show up to the meetings and sign up if you want to go to an activity that someone has organized. If you want to do certain a field trip, you organize it and advertise it to the group.

I actually grew up in a zoo and around cattle, so I have to constantly remind myself that I need to actually take my children to such things, possibly even paying and driving out of my way for such a thing to see...

Murphy101 Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Well, I was all hyped and ready to go to park this morning to meet some new people. I was even going to be about 20 minutes early. Then this stupid truck pulling a flatbed trailer acted stupid and dumped part of its stupid load across lanes into traffic. And wouldn't you know that the only decorator concrete brick to land on my side of the road landed right under my front left tire and busted it. I had to pull right into the southcrest hospital diagnostic parking lot and call dh to come change the flat. No worries though because thanks to my gung-ho attitude, we had plenty of time to change a flat and still get to park. Then Dh came and even with his drills couldn't get the caps off. So he dropped the oldest 4 home with his little pontiac sunfire while I waited with the other 4 for him to come back and shuttle us home too. Now he's calling AAA to come fix the flat, the LAST thing any man wants to do. 1 because no man likes to admit he can't fix a flat tire and 2 we really cannot afford to pay for it. (We didn't have a membership, but do now because it was cheaper to get a membership than pay for a single trip out.) All rather humbling to him and THAT has put him in a rather yucky mood. So I hope you all made it and had a great time and I hope to be invited if you gather again. It's 9:30, and AAA says they should have it done in less than an hour, but then dh has to shuttle us again and all that, so it's pretty much a wash out for us this time around. So disappointed.:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Okie Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Erica and I had a nice visit even without y'all- but would have preferred to meet some more new friends! We'll try again later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linda...inOwasso Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Okay, we've got to set up another play date. My dd's BLEW it by arguing with one another incessantly this morning! I had to pull the plug on the park. They were disappointed, but not as much as I was!! So... please, if others are willing to get together another time, I would love to.

snickelfritz Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 It will, hopefully, be a bit cooler next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murphy101 Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 so I'm all for giving it another try. Any Wednesday morning would work for me. Open to other days too, but I'd have to check the calendar for those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
