How to Create a Math-Rich Environment
Most of us are aware of the importance of creating a literature rich environment. We read aloud to our children, take them to the library and buy them their own books. We take care to model good reading habits and we share our love and enthusiasm for literature with our children. What can we do to inspire that same love and enthusiasm for math? Attend this workshop and find out how to create a math rich environment for your children.

Creating Your Own Philosophy of Education
It’s important to know why you’re doing what you’re doing. Homeschooling comes with challenges and set-backs. That ideal, pie-in-the-sky vision you had of what homeschooling would look like will not happen everyday. There will be days when you’ll wonder why on earth you even started homeschooling in the first place and there will be days when your mother in law, neighbour or grocery clerk questions your decision to homeschool. Having a written philosophy of education will give you a leg to stand on when all you feel like doing is lying down.
