Dear Friends,
"In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you" 1 Thessalonians 5:18.
First, I would like to thank all the families that generously donated homeschool curriculum to ENOCH to help those affected by Hurricane Sandy. ENOCH was able to help several families in the area. It is such a blessing to be a blessing!
Second, we are very excited this year to have Zan Tyler and Steven Demme as our Keynote Speakers at ENOCH’s 23rd Annual Convention. Zan is a speaker and author from Apologia Press and Steve is a speaker and author from Math U See. Our featured speaker, David Watkins, a homeschooling Pastor and Chairman of MACHE, Minnesota Association of Christian Home Educators, and a Board member of NACHEL, National Alliance of Christian Home Education Leadership. All of our speakers are known for their encouraging words and outstanding insight for families. Our theme this year is “Joy in the Journey." Whether you are new to homeschooling or a veteran, each of us need to be reminded that this is a journey we are all called to. Even in discouraging times, God wants to give us joy. We encourage you to get to the workshops this year!
If you know of someone who is thinking about homeschooling invite them to come to the convention. There is special pricing for parents of preschoolers and for those who are new to homeschooling and have never been to our convention. Also, there is a special sponsorship so that you can sponsor a family that was affected by Hurricane Sandy. Just follow the information on the registration page under donations.
You will notice that not everything is up and running yet, but we will continue to update the information as it is made available to us. Be sure to check our website!
Finally, please remember to pray, not only for the Board, but for the department coordinators and assistants working with us. We are in need this year of some key positions. If you would like to serve homeschoolers, or your teen can help us, we would GREATLY appreciate it. You can contact me directly at president@enochnj.org. We could NEVER do this alone! Thank you in advance to all who will be working on the convention plans in the days ahead.
"Without counsel, plans go awry, But in the multitude of counselors they are established" Proverbs 15:22.
In His service,
Rich Millward

God has a wonderful sense of humor, I believe. He wants us to grow and stretch, and one of the ways He does this is to give us children who are very different from each other. Just as it is very likely that a right brain person will have a left brain spouse, so it is that if our first born is left brain dominant, the next child likely will be right brain dominant. This brain dominance affects both personality characteristics and learning styles.
How do you determine if you are teaching a right brain child? Children tend to display these characteristics at an early age. All children are creative, but your right brain child will seem to be even more imaginative. The right brain learns things in "wholes" rather than parts, so that child will get math concepts well, but may struggle with the "details" like the math facts or checking work. In thinking styles, the right brainer often goes by "gut feel" whereas the left brainer prefers multiple facts before coming to a conclusion. In test taking, the left brainer prefers the black and white choices presented in multiple choice questions, while the right brainer may prefer essay questions, where the whole picture can be given.
Eighty percent of the struggling learners I see are right brain dominant. Does that mean that being right brain dominant is a weakness? Not at all! As you know, Einstein was a flaming right brainer. Then why the discrepancy? It is that most curriculum is designed to teach in a more left brain style. Workbooks, worksheets, rote memorization (math facts), timed tests, lecture, learning facts from a test, learning vocabulary by looking up the meanings of the words in a dictionary and writing it out, are all left brain activities. If you have a child at home who is "balking" at doing the schoolwork that fits the description above, you probably are working with a right brain dominant child. To help this child become successful doesn't require an entire change in curriculum but rather a change in your teaching strategies for this child. It isn't as hard as it sounds. In fact, it's easy, fun, and inexpensive.
SPELLING
Let's look at the teaching of spelling words. We all want our children to be good spellers and are very frustrated when our methods aren't working. The most common complaint I receive is that the child learns the words for the test, but continues to misspell them in other writing tasks. This is one of the easiest problems to solve, and I have regularly seen two years’ spelling growth in one year, using a simple method. Have you ever seen a picture in the newspaper of a spelling bee winner? If you have, you may have seen the student with his eyes in an upward position. In other words, it looks like he is looking at the ceiling for the word he is spelling. This makes sense in light of the recent brain research that tells us that we can cause our right brain (the hemisphere that houses our photographic memory) to become more responsive by looking up with our eyes. In other words, we use our eyes to help us think as well as to see. When the student is looking up he is "seeing" the word in his head. Because he is seeing the printed word, he can spell it backwards as easily as forwards. You can train your child at home to use this very efficient strategy. Not only will it be painless, but you will find that the right brain is responsible for visual memory and long term memory, so your child will remember how to spell his words long past the week of the spelling test.
This efficient right brain spelling strategy is simple.
1. Give your child a pre-test from a short list of words from the "most commonly used words" list.
2. In the words that were spelled incorrectly, take
the letters that were wrong, or left out, and color
them and "weird" them up.
(An example: If he spelled "Saturday as Saterday" put the Sat-r-day in
black marker on a card since he knew those letters. Put the
"u" in blue, with wavy lines in it to represent water, and a stick
figure diving into the water. You can add a story like, "They
all Sat around on Saturday and
one of them got bored, so the brothers decided to go swimming.)
3. Hold the card straight up in front of your child so his eyes are looking up. (Make sure his chin isn't up, but only his eyes). Have him glance at it, then bring it down while his eyes remain looking up where the card had been. Flash this card in the air five or six times until your child can "see" it in the air and easily spell it forwards and backwards. If your child can't easily "see" it in the air, show it more times or put more "Velcro” on it by putting in more color or a more detailed picture.
4. Review the card each day of the week for a few minutes.
5. Your child's "photographic memory" will become stronger and stronger as you use this method.
Remember that your child's visual memory is his greatest strength. As you help him develop that using spelling words, math facts, or anything, you will see learning and memorizing become much easier. The success a child feels when he can "see it" is priceless.

Join students and educators from across the Northeast to learn how to equip Christians through authentic leadership and cultural communication at our upcoming conference. We'll learn how to flood the five percent of Americans willing and ready to command the public platform.
Why do my students need to study communication?
Not every child is going to go into politics or become an attorney. So
why should they learn to speak in public? Studies have shown that only
5% of Americans say they are ready and willing to take the public
platform. Stop and think about it—this means the other 95% of Americans
have to listen to the 5% who stand up and speak. Our goal is to equip
Christian students to become that 5%, ready and willing to share the
hope of Christ with the world around them. We want students who can
engage with the messages our culture communicates and graciously
communicate the hope within them.
Our program also goes beyond basic public speaking tips and integrates
critical thinking and debate skills throughout the two-day conference.
Our activities will help your students begin to critically evaluate
real-world issues, communicate their position persuasively, and reason
logically with other speakers.
* Note: We have a special track for students ages 16 - 18 to
prepare them for interviews and engaging with different worldviews.

your self-worth? Well, Danielle shares a message of hope and
encouragement, contentment and worthiness through a relationship with
God. Her makeover formula has a few short steps, yet lasts a lifetime.

MACCULLOCH HALL HISTORICAL MUSEUM 45 Macculloch Ave. Morristown, NJ 07960
Abraham Lincoln Remembered
In honor of President’s Day weekend, Macculloch Hall Historical Museum
in Morristown will hold a family program on Monday, February 18 called Abraham
Lincoln Remembered. Most students are familiar
with stories of Abraham Lincoln as a young boy or as the President of
the United States during the Civil War but few may know of Lincoln’s
whistle-stop train trip that began on February 11, 1861 from his home
in Springfield, Illinois to Washington, DC. Lincoln took the
extended trip to take the presidential oath of office and begin his
presidency.
Families use a large floor map tracing Lincoln’s journey through seven states, including stops in New Jersey, on his way to his inauguration in Washington, DC. Families also use “travel cards” that describe significant events that took place throughout the trip including the role famous 19th century American detective Allen Pinkerton and the first American female private eye Kate Warne had in protecting the president-elect. During the program, children will make and decorate a small book about Lincoln with favorite images and famous quotes of the president.
Two sessions are available for the Abraham Lincoln Remembered program. The morning session runs from 10 am to noon and the afternoon session runs from 1 to 3 p.m. Pre-registration is required for this two hour program. Suggested age is 7 to 12 years old. Cost for the program is $6 per child for members and $8 per child for non-members. This cost includes the materials fee and there is no charge for the accompanying adult. To pre-register call (973) 538-2404 ext. 16 or email cwinslow@maccullochhall.org with name(s) and age(s) of children and a contact phone number and email address.
Spring 2013 Homeschool Series: Walking Through The Secret Garden
The Spring 2013 Homeschool Series of programs at Macculloch Hall Historical Museum begins on Tuesday, February 26. Homeschool children and their families can explore Frances Hodgson Burnett’s The Secret Garden together with museum staff as the gardens at Macculloch Hall come back into bloom. The story of The Secret Garden follows the life of Mary Lennox and her journey from India to England after the death of her parents. One hundred years earlier George Macculloch, founder of the Morris Canal, experienced a similar journey as a child leaving India after the death of his parents, to live with his grandmother in Scotland. The Spring Homeschool Series runs February to May 2013, meeting on the fourth Tuesday of each month.
Space is available in the morning sessions running from 10 am to noon for each date of the series (Feb. 26, March 26, April 23, and May 28). The afternoon session from 1 to 3 p.m. is filled. Pre-registration is required. The suggested age for the program is seven to twelve years old. Cost is $8 per student. Families can register by phone at (973) 538-2404 ext 16 with name(s), number and age(s) of children, program date(s) and contact phone number and email address or can send the above information to cwinslow@maccullochhall.org .

"Anne of Green Gables"
is a modern adaptation of L.M Montgomery's classic book by playwright
Jon Jory. It uses five different actresses to play the fiery Anne. When
Marilla and Mathew Cuthbert end up with Anne, instead of the boy they
thought they were adopting, their world is turned upside down. Marilla
agrees to keep the little girl for one month with the hope that she
will be able to civilize Anne before sending her back. But will the
imaginative and mischievous girl wins over the hearts of her reluctant
parents?
"Darcy's Cinematic Life"
is an original comedy by Christa Crewdson. Darcy struggles with issues
that most teenagers deal with on a day-to-day basis. What makes her
unique, however, is that she experiences the events in her life as
short movies -- or "daydreams," as her teacher calls them. Often these
movies grow out of her desire to fit in and be accepted. Darcy's
intelligence and imagination help her navigate through the high-school
years with a sense of humor. With 12 actors playing over 30 different
roles, this show is filled with all kinds of characters from beginning
to end.
FAITH Center’s Continuing Success Causes Growing Pains –
Can You Help Us Find a Location to Further Expand Our Ministry?
For the first time ever, the FAITH Center had to close registration to additional families this summer. According to Bill Biggs, Founding Director, “The Lord sent so many wonderful homeschooling families our way, all looking for an opportunity for their children to develop talents to glorify God. I wish we had room for them all, but we didn’t. It seems like we might need to consider expanding our program again. God has truly blessed this ministry.” Are you aware of a large space with multiple classrooms in the northern or central NJ area that might be open to hosting another FAITH Center program? Please contact us at 973-252-5043 or info@faith-center.com . Thank you!
