May 2009
From the President's Desk
Calling all Homeschoolers of New Jersey,
Convention Update
ENOCH
of NJ’s 19th Annual Homeschool Convention is just around the
corner. If you have not Pre-registered there is still time.
Pre-registration closes on May 23rd. We have a great line-up
of
Featured Speakers, Phil Downer, Dianne Craft and Carol
Barnier.
The convention is a great way to look at and buy new curriculum, be
encouraged by great speakers and workshops, and to encourage other
homeschoolers and those who are thinking about homeschooling.
Friends of ours, who were homeschooling, encouraged us to attend the
ENOCH convention. This was before our oldest daughter was
school-aged. It was after the Keynote Speaker Ken
Ham,
Answers in Genesis, spoke Friday night that my wife, Minerva and I
decided that there was no other choice but to homeschool.
That
year, ENOCH changed us and we have not been sorry. Reach out and
encourage others. I hope to see you at the convention.
NHERI Study
First,
I would like to thank everyone who participated in the NHERI study.
NHERI stands for National Home Educator Research Institute. Brian Ray,
President, has been a valuable asset to the homeschool community in the
research he does. Now that ENOCH has collected data, it has been sent
off to NHERI where they will tabulate and compile the
information. When this is completed they will make the
information available to ENOCH and we will make it available to the
support groups throughout the state.
The ENOCH Board is grateful
to Ray Stoever, Trustee of ENOCH, who volunteered his services to get
the work accomplished. He was able to get the information and work on
getting it put together for NHERI. Thank you.
Final Word – Prayer Needed
The
convention is fast approaching and the Board is very busy. We
appreciate your prayers during this busy season. We want the Lord to
lead and guide us in every aspect and decision needed for the
convention. “Unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who
build it,” (Psalm 127:1). This is the biggest outreach we
have
and it takes a lot of folks to put it together. I want to
thank
each of the Board members for their hard work.
Blessings,
Richard Millward

Countdown to Convention
Weekend

By Sue August, Convention Coordinator
In
thinking about what to write this month, I went back through my files
and found the article below that I had written last year. How
thankful I am that I came across it! This year, I am the
rookie
Convention Coordinator. My attention has been pulled in a
thousand directions as I have been learning the ropes. How
kind
of God to bring my attention to what I was doing this time last
year! Keep reading to find out how best to prepare for the
upcoming Convention, May 29-30.
What a pleasure it has been for
me to share my thoughts with you about the Annual Convention!
There is nothing like having to organize my thoughts on paper to help
me clarify my own thinking! I am looking forward to this
convention with a level of anticipation I’ve never experienced
before!
I am confident that God has great things in
store for me and for all those who attend the convention this
year. Here’s how I will spend this last month in
preparation. I will be praying – praying specifically for
every
aspect of the convention.
I will pray for the Keynote and
Workshop Speakers. They have full and busy lives.
The
convention season across America can be particularly taxing on
them. I will pray for God’s strength to be present when they
are
weak. I will especially be praying that they will take time
to
hear from God regarding what He wants them to say to the Homeschool
community. I will attend the keynote sessions and workshops
with
an expectation of hearing a message filled with God’s leading for my
upcoming homeschool year.
I will pray for the Exhibitors.
With money tight, many of the smaller exhibitors are unsure if they
will break even this year. It is not easy nor is it
inexpensive,
traveling across the country with literally tons of books in
tow!
I will pray for God’s mercy for them as they travel. We have
about 30 new Exhibitors this year. I will pray that their
first
experience with NJ Homeschoolers will be a rewarding one! I
will
also pray that the Exhibitors will be given an extra measure of wisdom
and discernment when giving counsel to homeschoolers with questions.
I
will pray for the children who have registered for the Children’s
Program, that a new love for history will be birthed in them as they
learn from the folks at Historical Happenings who have a real passion
for glorifying God through history.
I will pray for all the
volunteers, from those who have sacrificed the entire convention
weekend to those who will be serving ENOCH for just a few hours.
Mostly,
I will be praying for you – NJ Homeschoolers! My prayer is
that
your calendar will be cleared and will stay clear for May
29-30.
I’ll be praying that God will meet you in a very real way at the ENOCH
Convention. Whether you simply need help choosing curriculum
or
possibly God wants you to do an entire overhaul of your homeschool, my
prayer is that you will know that God has called you to homeschool and
that He will not ask you to do anything without providing the grace and
means to do it.
Looking forward to seeing you at the convention! Please stop
by the ENOCH booth to say hello!
PROMOTE YOUR EVENT, CLUB
OR ACTIVITY AT THE CONVENTION

The
ENOCH Convention is trying something new this year. Since
ENOCH’s
mission is to promote homeschooling in New Jersey and do whatever we
can to equip homeschooling families, we have a new feature in our
Exhibit Hall. Booth space is available for homeschoolers to
display and/or promote their homeschool events, clubs and activities.
If
you organize a science fair, spelling bee, drama club, orchestra,
choir, sports league, robotics team, model rocket club, etc., this is
your chance to get the word out to NJ Homeschoolers!
If you have
an event, club or activity that is open to new members, you can reserve
a booth at the convention for only $75. If your club is
filled to
capacity but you would like to help other homeschoolers start a club
like yours, you would also qualify for this type of booth.
For
those clubs who do not have the funds or manpower to rent booth space,
we have an alternative that is FREE. ENOCH is providing a
double
booth space right near the front entrance. Your event, club
or
activity can reserve a 2-hour slot at this booth. You can set
up
a display or plan a presentation that can take place during your 2-hour
slot.
Homeschoolers, if you’ve wondered which activities will be
a good fit for your family, be sure to check the schedule of events as
you enter the Convention.
For those who organize events,
clubs and activities, ENOCH thanks you for how you serve the homeschool
community. We are glad to partner with you to make your
events
accessible to even more homeschoolers! If you think you might
be
interested in this offer, email
conventioncoordinator@enochnj.org Deadline is May
11.
WE’RE DEPENDING ON YOU!

The date of the annual ENOCH Convention
is fast approaching (May 29-30)! In order to have the
convention
run smoothly, over 100 volunteers are enlisted every year.
For
those of you who have already volunteered, we are very
grateful.
Your response has been overwhelming! We have confirmed about
50%
of the volunteers we need.
Our greatest area of need at this
point, is for men to work as ushers. Following is a
description
of what ushering involves:
1. Greet attendees at Registration Area
& pass out Convention Resource bags.
2. Will “patrol” the Curriculum Hall at
assigned locations.
3.
Patrol assigned location for anything that seems out of order or
potentially a problem. Become very familiar with facility’s
layout
4.
If children are not attended by an adult, Usher would instruct them to
stay with their parents. Remind the parents of their need to
supervise their children (toddler to youth).
5.
Answer basic questions from attendees and direct them to the ENOCH /
Information Table for further assistance [clipboard w/ information
provided]
6. Ushers will be stationed at Used
Curriculum to provide order & security.
7.
At end of each workshop session, Ushers should ensure that Keynote
workshop area is cleared out and ready for the next session.
8.
Report problems to ENOCH /Information Table right away or in case of an
emergency, contact the police officer on duty.
Men, if you think you could offer 3 hours of your time on either Friday
or Saturday, please volunteer.
We also need male or female volunteers in the Registration area,
Hospitality area and the Used Curriculum Sale.
Please
consider helping your statewide homeschool community by volunteering at
the convention. To volunteer, register for the convention and
then follow this link to volunteer

Keeping Your Teens on
the Road to Purity
Audio Lending Library Review

Julie
Hiramine challenges teens to use this stage of their life to develop
their affection for the Lord. She offers a sound Biblical

later.

Although
Julie isn’t able to personally attend the ENOCH Convention this year,
her organization, Generations of Virtue, will be there. Be
sure
to stop by their booth for some great resources!
Other
Events and Opportunities
Roller Skating

I have secured the Cherry Hill Skating Center at 664 Deer Road in
Cherry Hill for the 2009 - 2010 school year.
The dates are as follows:
September 18, 2009
October,16, 2009
November 20, 2009
January 15, 2010
February 19, 2010
March 19, 2010
April 16, 2010
Skate Rentals are 3.00 for in line or quads. Admission is $3
per skater with a cap of 12.00 per family. We have offered
several free admission skates, and a reduced price skate in the
past. If we continue to get such a great turnout that will
continue. Amazingly our price from the rink has not increased
in several years.
Please do not bring
outside food in as the refreshment stand is open. We get to
control the music being played and as a favor to us all games are off
(a source of revenue for the rink) so please be kind enough to consume
all food before coming into the rink. An exception would be
cake for a birthday celebration.

Curriculum Fair Thank
You!
A warm and sincere thank you to ALL our sellers and shoppers
who
participated in
this years F.U.N. curriculum sale!! It was a WONDERFUL day! The
sale was our most successful "shoppers" turnout yet, and the feedback
was ALL
positive, with happy sellers and shoppers alike.
With the addition of more seminars, the FUN Curriculum sale has become
a sort of homey
mini-convention.
Praying you were all blessed and we hope to see you again next year!

Homeschool Mom’s ‘Novel
Idea’ in Education

It reads like a
gripping youth fiction novel, yet challenges young readers to reach to
new heights in vocabulary and spelling. The Orphan and the
King,
Vol. I—The Freedom Mission is the first in a trilogy that boasts a
surprising educational twist. Each volume in the three-part
series comes with a free downloadable vocabulary and spelling study
guide. The extensive 81-page study guide is full-color,
illustrated, and reproducible for homeschool and classroom
use.
Another free bonus offer that comes with the book is a downloadable
video cartooning lesson from Emmy Nominated Cartoonist Bruce Blitz, as
seen on Comcast-On-Demand and PBS. Page 92 of The Freedom
Mission
gives all the details for how to obtain the free downloads.
In
addition, this inspirational fantasy novel weaves foundational biblical
principles of faith, hope and redemption into the core story.
The
Freedom Mission mixes fantasy and reality into a suspenseful allegory
filled with biblical insights and wisdom. When asked how she managed to
write a 350 page trilogy while raising and homeschooling three small
children, author Wendy Anne Hunt laughs. “Well, although
unconventional, this was my method: When we only had my oldest son, I
would take him to McDonald's and let him play for three hours or so
(until he got tired of it), and I would type like a banshee. When we
had two kiddos, I would drive through a nearby neighborhood until they
fell asleep in their car seats. Then I would pull the minivan under a
shade tree and type my brains out until they woke up. When we had the
three children, my gracious husband would send me out every Wednesday
night with my laptop, and I would close out the local Starbucks or
Three Bean Cafe. I found that I could make the same 16 oz. latte last
for four hours! So...there's my method in a nutshell. And,
that's
why this trilogy has taken me 10 years to write!”

You can order her first book, The Freedom Mission, on Amazon.com, or
order a copy through your local bookseller or Christian bookstore.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
WENDY
ANNE HUNT lives in Southern New Jersey with her wonderful husband and
three delightful children. A passion for ‘redemptive writing’ that
points others to the cross and the Savior, Hunt is happiest when
putting pen to paper, whether writing music, weaving a story, writing
poetry, or working on a book in progress. Her hope is that God would
use these means to draw the hearts of others nearer to the Lord she
loves.

Online Computer Classes
I teach with The Potter’s School from September through May. I decided
to offer a couple of the classes I teach this summer. This is
independent from The Potter’s School. These classes would be live over
the internet. I am offering four classes:
Microsoft Office Applications 1, MWF 8:00 am – 9:30 am Eastern Daylight
Time beginning June 15 and ending August 28
Computer Programming 1 (Visual Basic), MWF 9:45 am – 11:15 am Eastern
Daylight Time beginning June 15 and ending August 28
These classes would satisfy a computer elective requirement. The MS
Office class is extremely practical and covers skills that students
will use in other high school and college classes.
I am offering two other courses; however, they have prerequisites.
I begin each of my classes with prayer requests, and then ask if one of
the students would like to lead the prayer. Sometimes I get volunteers,
and sometimes I am the one leading the prayer.
I humbly request that you click the link to my web site below and
determine if this is something you might be interested in.

Fernbrook Farms
Homeschool Spring Semester 2009
Class Dates and Topics:
Garden
Planting
May 5, 7
On this day we’ll plan out our Homeschool garden and
begin planting. We’ll transplant our seedlings from the green
house and sow some more seeds directly in the ground. We’ll
discuss companion planting and traditional methods of vegetable
gardening. We’ll also look at compost and soil composition
and
determine what we need to do in order to maintain healthy, nutrient
rich soil.
Goats and
Sheep
May 12, 14
Spring is the season for babies on the farm!
During this class we’ll learn about the hard-work and care that goes
into raising goats, sheep and their offspring on the farm.
This
class will have us in the animal barn learning what our ruminants eat
and what they need to lead healthy and productive lives to
provide us with food and fiber we need in our daily
lives.
Sows and Piglets:
Field trip to the Hellis Stock
Farm
May 19, 21
We’re taking a trip to the largest contiguous farm
in New Jersey where we’ll be given a tour of their animal pastures and
sow barn. We’ll see how farmers work to provide safe, healthy
environments for sows and their piglets as well as learn about their
steer production. This farm is rich in history and is an
exciting
place to explore.
Bee Friendly: Pollinating
Populations
May 26, 28
Honey Bees are great for farms. Not only do we
get to collect their honey, but they also promote
pollination.
Bees have an amazing sense of community. Although we’ll stay
far
enough away from the bees to keep from being stung, we’ll take a close
look at how bees communicate and work together. We’ll also
look
at the anatomy of honeybees and their process of producing
honey.
It’ll be a buzzing good time.
Good Bugs and Bad
Bugs
June 2, 4
Aphids are good to find in your garden. Do you
know what an Aphid is and why it might be farmer friendly?
Cabbage Whites aren’t so friendly to your garden. This lesson
will be spent in various gardens looking at pest management in small
gardens and in the fields where Farmer Q cultivates trees and
shrubs. We’ll learn to identify some of these bugs and learn
how
to encourage them to stay and how to keep others away.
Solar
Ovens: Baking with the Sun’s
Energy!
June 9, 11
Solar ovens are easy to build and fun to use!
Anyone can make one, anyone can use one. We’ll learn to
construct
our solar oven, looking at the principles that make it work, so that
you can build one at home. We’ll also try a hand at cooking a
few
different types of dishes with some ingredients from our gardens.

Free Vision Therapy
Workshop
Vision and Learning: What's the Connection?
Is your child struggling with reading or schoolwork?
Do they complain of headaches?
Are they easily distracted and unfocused?
Using
our vision for learning goes well beyond seeing 20/20. Children use a
myriad of visual and visual processing skills to be effective readers
and learners, but most eye exams do not test for these issues. Dr.
Gallaway will discuss how visual disorders affect reading and learning,
the signs of visual problems that parents can look for, and how these
issues can be treated.
Dr. Michael Gallaway is an
optometrist who has been in private practice specializing in children's
vision and vision therapy since 1989. He is also a professor and
researcher at the Pennsylvania College of Optometry in Philadelphia.

The above deadline is also the time to announce early fall
opportunities for
homeschoolers. Send all submissions to
newsletter@enochnj.org.
This deadline serves the purpose of allowing time for editing and
formatting the newsletter in order that time-sensitive information can
be posted and mailed in a timely manner.
Final editing begins at the deadline. Submissions prior to
