Homeschool Sports Program
Hello SCA, my name is Dan Lee. I am a former homeschool student of SCA from 1987-1995. While attending SCA, I had always hoped that they could offer more sports programs. Now, I am starting my own business teaching sports to children. I have been coaching kids for the past 8 years on an individual and group basis. I will be conducting 2 free clinics for SCA families, to give an idea of what my programs will consist of. Please come join me. Immediately following the session, I'll be available to answer any questions you may have. Please look for the flyer with dates and location of the free clinic at your testing facility. You can also email me prior to the free clinics with questions. DanLee@hotmail.com Thank you and I hope to see you on the field.

Mathnasium
Math Tutoring for Kindergarten through Pre-Calculus is available at the Mathnasium of Lake Forest Math-Only Learning Center Initial evaluation and parent consultation is FREE! Whether your student wants enrichment or is in need of stronger math skills, Mathnasium Math-Only Learning Center in Lake Forest offers Kindergarten through Pre-Calculus math tutoring on an unlimited drop-in basis. Mathnasium is a learning center where students go year-round to boost their math skills. We are highly specialized; we only teach math.

Our program is for students in Kindergarten through 12th grade (including Algebra I and II, Geometry, and Pre-Calculus). Mathnasium members drop–in anytime when it is convenient for a flat monthly membership fee. Our goal is to significantly increase your child’s math skills, understanding of math concepts, and overall school performance, while building confidence and forging a positive attitude toward the subject.

Our approach is to use sophisticated techniques to determine – with great accuracy – what a student knows and does not know. Next, we tailor-make a personalized and prescriptive learning program. Each student follows the program with the help of specially-trained Mathnasium instructors who provide instruction -- and lots of warm encouragement.

For proof of progress, we rely on in-house assessments, the student's report card, independent tests, and parent testimony, to measure the speed and magnitude of improvement in math skills, numerical thinking, and attitude.

In addition to offering high-school math during all operating hours, a “higher-math hour” is offered twice a week. A higher-math specialist is available to work with high school students for homework help during this time.

Vicki Barnes Materials
Do you need help discovering your child's learning style, or would you like to glean a few more helpful hints on how to be more effective in teaching your children?

Last year Vicki Barnes, a Christian author and corporate speaker, who has a heart for us homeschool moms, put on a "Learning Styles Seminar" at SCA. She taught us how to recognize our children's learning styles and, therefore, be much more effective and better equipped to recognize what works, what doesn't and why, teaching them according to their learning and love languages. Talking from personal experience, going through her seminar and reading Vicki's book has been extremely helpful and an answer to prayer. I can't recommend it enough!

For more information or to buy Vicki's materials, "The Kid Book" ($10) and surveys to indicate your child's God given personality/learning styles ($3 each or 2 for $5), contact Dodee Inzerillo (email subject: "The Kid Book"). This would make a great Christmas gift too!

Attention all Chess Players!!
The Fenger’s are opening their home for those players interested in forming a chess-night-out-club. An informal bimonthly event hosted at the Fenger residence with a design to build friendships and to provide an allotted time to pursue your skills at the game of chess. It is open to everyone interested.

We are seeking to open the club in December or January if there are positive responses to this bulletin. We also would like suggestions for time slot choices. Thus far, we have a request for Saturday evenings or Sunday afternoons – again, this is a bimonthly affair. You can contact Medina & Ken Fenger.
