Dear Homeschool Families,

I just want to remind everyone that our January Homeschool Thursday Drop-In Program at the library is tomorrow, January 6^th, 2022 from 10:00 a.m. – 2 p.m. As usual, Karen and I will be available for help with book selection, research projects, etc. We will also have subject-area stations highlighting books, activities, and free project supplies for children of all ages and abilities. A few of our families expressed an interest in books/projects to help with telling time, so we’ve arranged a special section for that tomorrow.

Happy New Year!

From the Lake Placid Library Homeschool Thursdays program:

I just want to remind everyone that there will be no Homeschool Thursday next week as we are closed for the Thanksgiving holiday. In addition, please note that due to the December school holiday break, we are only conducting one Homeschool event in December and that will be a program on the first Thursday, December 2nd at 10:00 a.m. in the basement of St. Eustace Church. Our program theme will be The Art of Writing Letters! There will be something for everyone, so don’t worry if your children aren’t writing their ABCs yet. I’ll send an email reminder the first week of December, but just wanted you to mark your busy calendars now.

Also, I don’t know if you know about Buddy the Elf who visits local businesses around the holidays, but we have the opportunity to invite him for a quick visit during that program as long as everyone is ok with that. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to email me privately.

Happy Thanksgiving!

This Thursday, November 4th, is a Homeschool Thursday Drop-In at the Lake Placid Public Library, between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Free parking is available in the St. Eustace Church lot – just leave a note or library card on your dashboard. Drop-In hours allow families time to explore various stations in the children’s rooms, while ensuring social distancing as families will not all arrive at once. Stations will highlight books and materials related to core subjects, in addition to a few highlighting project ideas/homeschooling resources with take-away supplies. Karen and I (both NYS certified teachers) will also be available to assist with book selection, research projects, STEAM supplies/ideas, etc. Last Thursday’s program at St. Eustace was such a treat, exploring the multi-disciplinary nature of cooking – if you were unable to join us, we have extra activity supplies and books (!!) for you. We look forward to seeing you sometime this Thursday between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. to assist your family on your educational journey.
