Activities

Tomball Christian Homeschoolers monthly events include:

Moms' Time: Intended to encourage and uplift busy home educating moms, it is held the last Thursday of the month, at the Tomball Library. We visit and discuss the monthly topic and bring snacks to share. For more information, contact Carolyn Watkins.

Elementary Activity Day:  This group will meet twice a month, on first and third Thursdays, to
conduct science experiments and do arts/crafts, geared for ages 5-12 (though younger or older kids are welcome to join in). Parents are asked to attend with their children. Twice during the fall, one of these activities will be replaced by a time of student presentations.

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 Laura Dobbs, or simply post a yahoo message.

All homeschoolers are invited to attend; no commitment for the entire year is required. RSVP's will be needed in order to prepare. All announcements for these events will be posted on the TCH Yahoo
calendar and message board.

Location will vary, though most of the time this activity day will be held at the Tomball Library, first floor meeting room. Other locations will include members' homes. Again, all information will be posted on the calendar.

Organized Field Trips: These vary every year and are dependent on the needs and desires of the volunteers.

Coordinated Paid Services Offered for Home School Students:  Tae Kwon Do classes, various forms of dance classes, band classes, and art classes are all held at different locations in the area.  As these services are offered by various businesses or individuals, membership in TCH is not required to participate, with one exception. There is a TCH waiting list for the art classes and the art instructor honors that waiting list.

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.
