June Meeting Update

Hello,

We had 6 of 18 show up for the meeting, plus one member-at-large and a newbie. Thank you to all you attended!

We will no longer be having formal monthly meetings. 
We have a few volunteers to help newbies....Barnstable, Bourne, Falmouth are covered.   Please let me know if you are willing to be a contact for newbies in your school district.

Information will be shared on our website, through e-mail and the Yahoo Group.
Contact Lizzie to be added to the Yahoo Group if you aren't already on it and would like to be. 
If you are not receiving e-mails please let Lizzie & myself know so we can add it to the group address.   You may need to go to Yahoo Groups and go to "edit membership" at the top of the page and make sure your have it set to receive individual emails and not web only.
If you no longer want to receive e-mails please also let us know.
 If you don't hear from anyone please let us know, sometimes there is a glitch.

If you have an idea for any activity please send it out on the Yahoo group. All you do is send a normal email to capecodpace@yahoogroups.com.  Please note you will not be able to do so unless you are on the loop.
This can be as simple  as a park or beach day or a Mom's night out or as involved as International Night.   If you want to organize a class, an outing or anything we encourage you to do so!  Put it out on the loop!

Lori will still organize the Stanford Testing in April 2013. (Dates will be Barnstable Spring Break)  All are welcome.  There will be a $25 testing fee per family.

We will also have a 2013 Used Book Sale the third Wednesday in June with set up the night before at Christ Chapel.

Cash only at any event is the easiest unless otherwise stated or agreed upon. 

Our website and calendar will be kept up to date always.  Please bookmark or favorite it for easy access.

Does your teen like Shakespeare?

MaryEllen Oliver's Shakespeare class has been a huge hit this year.

We are going to finish out with the study and production of......

 Much Ado About Nothing.

She would love to have some more people join us for this last portion of the class.  All kids age 13 and up are welcome!  Show up at the next class or email MaryEllen for more details.  planetcatbooks at yahoo dot com

Classes are 1-3 on Wednesdays at Forestdale Baptist Church.  The class is $25 per student with a $50 cap per family.

This time, we will be doing the entire play, so students will each have their own book to keep, instead of using a printed-on-paper script. Each student will need to bring said book back and forth from home (to learn lines) to each class (to rehearse). We will be adding some extra rehearsals as the production nears. 

The performance looks like it will take place during the week of May 26 to June 2, will firm up soon.  

NO class the week of April vacation.

Book Sale

My friends, I have been homeschooling 10 years and have accumulated a ton of curricula and resources for K-high school and it is time, time,  time for me to clear the shelves.

On Saturday, March 10th, I will be having a sale.  
From 10am to 3:00 at my home.
120 Fresh Pond Road, East Falmouth, Ma

For the sake of ease, I am making a (huge) free table, a $1 table, a $5 table a $10 table and a $20 table. 
There will be a ton of stuff on each. 
I am doing it this way because to price each piece and cart it about and back disheartens me no end.



Please note, the free table will have a great many of things donated by other homeschoolers at the end of the PACE curriculum sales to bless other homeschooler with.  That was their intended purpose and will be there as such.

Feel free to let me know if there is something you are looking for specifically and I can put it aside for you if I have it and it is one of the items going.  

Blessings, 
Lizzie

Meeting at Ellie's home in Marstons Mills.

Don't stress out about it, I'll have extras! If you want to bring a goodie to share that would also add to the fun.
