Creating an Atmosphere of Love
and Learning in the Home
An atmosphere of love, learning, and levity can change the
whole game in your homeschool. Mary Ellen will share tips
on how to create an atmosphere that encourages discipline,
enjoyment, love of faith and family, in which the children will
come to love learning.
1:30 - 2:15 P.M.
Fr. Bryce Sibley
How Does One Effectively Share His/
Her Love for Christ and the Church?
Drawing from his years of experience of working with
young people, Father Sibley will talk about how to evangelize
effectively and make the faith contagious! Does one share
with respect to where the other is at and with charity, or
in a rigid militaristic fashion which may chase them away?
This talk will help you enter into the spirit of the New
Evangelization.
2:30 - 3:15 P.M.
Amy Kalscheur
Goody Bags will be available for attendees while
supplies last. In addition to a wealth of literature
from over 20 organizations, the bags will include
free CD’s from Holy Heroes and TAN Books.
Confessions of a Homeschool Mom
Is it just me? Am I alone in this? In “Confessions of a
Homeschooling Mom,” I open up and tell you about the
real reason why I homeschool, the mistakes I’ve made, and
the thing that irritates me the most. Through my personal
witness, I hope that you can learn the lessons I’ve learned,
and rest assured that you’re not alone out there.
3:30 - 4:15 P.M.

Honor Thy Husband;
Happy Husband, Happy Homeschool
In a world that increasingly diminishes and ridicules men
and fathers, it is extremely important that we not only honor
our husbands but also raise our sons to be good strong,
godly men. A wife’s role in this cannot be understated as she
sets the tone of the home.
5:00 - 5:45 P.M.
Amy Kalscheur
How to Teach “That” Kid
Some children take to schoolwork like a fish takes to water.
For others, they might show a complete lack of interest or
find the work so difficult that they get discouraged. How do
we help them? This talk gives practical ideas for teaching the
difficult learner.
6:00 P.M. Conference Ends
