Homeschool Group Coming to McDougall Starting October 17
We are very excited to be coming to McDougall. We will be using the Hospitality Hall on Mondays from 11 - 2 pm starting on October 17th through until December 5. If you homeschool or know any Homeschooling Families we would love to have you join us. This session costs $80 and will need to be paid by October 12. There is a registration form on our webpage.
Each week we will follow this general schedule:
11 am - gather in Hospitality Hall
11:15 am - do a movement activity (lead by a parent)
12 pm - Lunch (bring your own)
1 pm - Activity/Craft/Experiment (lead by a parent).
Parents are expected to sign up to lead a movement exercise and prepare an activity. These can be very simple. Some examples of movement activities could include playing badminton, learn a line dance, play freeze tag, parachute games or lead everyone in a boot camp. Here are some ideas for activities/crafts/experiments: pick a seasonal craft, learn about magnets, bring in some board games or do a painting. Play to your strengths and involve your children in the planning and instruction. Once you register you will be directed to where you can sign up for your weeks.
Please note that the cost of the registration doesn’t include supplies. The week(s) you are leading the activity you will need to bring or borrow all the supplies related to it. Alternatively you can ask families to bring things (they must be free and/or items they have at home). For example if you are having kids cut out of magazines you could ask for families to bring scissors and any magazines they have around the house.
Unfortunately there are no drop ins for this session. It is important for us to have some consistency in who is attending as we want to build a community. We do understand that you may not be able to attend every week however there would be no discounts for those weeks as the room costs the same whether you are in attendance or not.
Hopefully you will be able to join us, it is sure to be a lot of fun!
