We have made use of lots of great local homeschool classes and resources. Here are the ones we've used over the last two years:
- The Creative Discovery Museum Science Theater - Homeschool Science classes (each month has a different theme like the Human Body or Rockets - loved it!)
- The Tennessee Aquarium Homeschool Science Classes and Homeschool Day - last year's theme was marine life and next year's theme is the natural plants and wildlife in our area
- Chess Club with CSTHEA (Daniel loved Chess club and made lots of friends too)
- Challenger Center special homeschool camp and summer camp (both kids)
- Private tutoring in handwriting and social skills (Daniel)
- A couple of mandolin lessons for Daniel at Mountain Music on Dayton Boulevard
Next year, we are adding:
- Middle school math at Hilger Higher Learning (for both kids)
- Monthly middle school socials (board games and stuff like that) with CSTHEA
- Mia Cucina cooking classes (lots of fun - Heather did them on Sundays sometimes this year)
- Heather is doing a summer drama camp at Chattanooga Christian School
- Daniel is doing a summer sailing camp at the Privateer Yacht Club
- Art classes
- Piano lessons (for Heather - she already takes them but will continue)
So, you can see we don't have any lack of social situations and opportunities for new friendships AND lots of fun ways to learn!
