meggie Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 1 week until UHEA conference. Who's excited?!?!?! :seeya: I am!!!! DH has Friday off and will be spending (hopefully) quality time with the little turtles. I will have 1 1/2 days all to myself :party: If anyone wants to meet up, let me know. Curriculum fair is free, so if you aren't going to the actual conference, we can meet in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lab1 Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 I have never been before. What do they offer? I have my curriculum all set up for next yr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meggie Posted May 31, 2012 Author Share Posted May 31, 2012 I've never been either. I'm mostly excited about the 1 1/2 day vacation I get :D I told DH that I expect Pigby's schooling to be done, the house to be perfectly clean, and healthy meals made and he can't just stick them in front of the TV or smart phone all day. :lol: http://uhea.org/exhibitor-list.html Here's the list of exhibitors in the curriculum fair. I only plan on buying MUS so I don't have to pay shipping on it in six months. http://uhea.org/workshops.html Here's the list of workshops. There's a few that look really interesting to me and a few that look kinda interesting and I'll go to those if I have nothing else to do.

LittleIzumi Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 I don't know if I can swing the $ even though I love the speaker, but I might come to the curriculum fair.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be nice, let me know if you do think you can make it for a little bit. We could even do lunch! :D And don't forget about the WHEN curriculum sale today and tomorrow! Oh geez, I'll have to look that up. I check these things so infrequently, I always miss stuff. Oh btw, I tried emailing the person who does the science classes and never got a response. Do you know if they're doing any in the summer or just in the fall and when registration is? PM me if you need to. Thank you. Phew, I'm so glad I have you around to keep me in the know. I never know what's going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaSheep Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 And don't forget about the WHEN curriculum sale today and tomorrow! I've never gotten hooked up with WHEN. The times I've gone to their web site it has looked like they need parents to be able to commit to helping out with teaching classes and things, and with ds's "issues" that's just not been realistic for me. Is the curriculum sale open to nonmembers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaSheep Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 (edited) I thought you lived on the east coast. We lived in Georgia before we moved to Utah, but that was before the kids were school age. Dh is on the east coast now, though. Originally I'm from Montana/Wyoming. (We lived in Wyoming, in a Yellowstone Park employee housing area, but we were bused to a Montana high school and did all our shopping in Montana because civilization was closer driving in that direction than the other.) *Crosses fingers that your DH magically shows up so you can come, even if only for half an hour* That would be so nice. It's not going to happen though. :( He and his brother are still wading through estate paperwork so they can get to the point where they can legally start selling off household items, and eventually the house. He'll probably be out there another month or so. This is really bad, but I keep telling myself that he only ever had two parents, so there's no possible way we'll ever have to get through another year in which we lose both of them ever again. I am so tired of this. I would love to find a day we could all meet up for lunch sometime or something, though. It would be so fun to get to see everyone in person.

Oooh, lunch! :D There will be two summer "day camps" and then it will start again in the fall. When I hear details I will let you know!! I've never gotten hooked up with WHEN. The times I've gone to their web site it has looked like they need parents to be able to commit to helping out with teaching classes and things, and with ds's "issues" that's just not been realistic for me. Is the curriculum sale open to nonmembers? Psh. Volunteering. :p I've never been asked to teach anything. I've sold stuff through there & just keep an eye out for the classes. Anyone can come to the curriculum sale. I decided I don't need to blow money I don't have so I'm skipping it this year. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has been absolutely heartbroken about Liberty, I'm trying to find other things that will work. Do they have a co-op, is that what teaching things are for? Because I would so totally love a co-op. I know not everyone likes them, but I really want one so Pigby can have some social time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen a co-op, but I'm not interested in one so maybe I missed it. We do still have in-home playgroups if you want me to PM you where/when.

We get lessons to do at home and then participate in a hands on day activity. Every two weeks focuses on a different area of science. I'll PM ths contact info.

VeganCupcake Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 I'm going to try to drop by the curriculum fair at least. I'd love to meet some of you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lab1 Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Do you have to pay regular admission to get into the Venus party? Yes, its regular price. We are getting a group rate as part of the program we're in for $1 off, so not much. If you have eclipse glasses, you shoud be able to see it anywhere. The special events are right up my kids valley. They love science so I try to expose them to a wide variety of subjects. We went to Thanksgiving Point gardens for some nature drawing and there was a wild bunny by the waterfalls! My kids were thrilled! I don't think I'll go to the conference this yr. It seems geared to starting up or high school. I would love to see Teaching Textbooks in person. I have Math-U-See Beta in perfect condition. Its the comb binding from 2 yrs ago. I've thought of selling it, but haven't been bothered yet.
