Activites

Tomball Christian Homeschoolers monthly events include:

Moms' Time: Intended to encourage and uplift busy home educating moms, it is held the fourth Monday of the month, at a member's home. We visit and discuss the monthly topic and you may bring snacks to share. For more information, contact Rachel Medlin .

Elementary Activity Day:   This group will meet twice a month, to cover a topic and do activities geared for ages 5-12 (though younger or older kids are welcome to join in). Parents are asked to attend with their children.  We will have two Co-Op classes this year.  One will meet on Tuesdays at 1PM and the other will meet Thursdays at 12PM.

Teachers and topics for the classes will be round-robin style, depending on the volunteer for the month. Anyone interested in participating or volunteering should contact Sally Hibbard  or simply post a yahoo message.

All announcements for these events will be posted on the TCHElempCoOp yahoo group calendar and message board.

Lego Club: The club's goal is to get together with other Lego enthusiasts to build and create together.  This year we will be branching out a bit. Offering two different sessions.
We are super excited!

One hour - Lego Power Mechanics Club - this will require a one time purchase of a $30 power mechanics package for each participant. Each month the participants will be asked to build at home creations that meet requirements given. At the club we will show creations watch them work, and add to them. The Power Mechanics Pack will be yours to keep. (Power Mechanics Pack allow your legos to have movement, lights, and circuits.)

One hour - Traditional Lego Club - this will require an investment of a one sandwich ziploc bag of assorted legos, to be brought to the first meeting. You will be given a ziploc bag of assorted legos at the end of May Lego Club to take back home. Each month we will have a different topic we discuss and build - ex. rockets, houses, robots, etc.  After each build time, each "creator" will be asked to tell the group about his/her creation.

We will meet the second Wednesday of each month, starting in September.

Lego Power Mechanics Club -
9:30 am to 10:30 am - ages 10-13 must RSVP 10 spaces each month

Traditional Lego Club
10:30 am to 11:30 am - ages 8 - 13 must RSVP 20 spaces each month

You may RSVP for both if you meet the requirements.

Contact Rachel Medlin for more information.

Organized Field Trips: These vary every year and are dependent on the needs and desires of the volunteers.  For more information about field trips, please contact Janet Stewart.

Of course, participation in events and activities is not required. In fact, some people simply join to receive the copy of The Teaching Pioneer from SETHSA. No one is offended by lack of participation, but we do ask that you volunteer to help as much as you participate.

The above are examples of many current and some past activities. We schedule and offer activities as group interest dictates and volunteer staffing allows. Past scheduling is no guarantee of a future offering.
