Fortson Homeschool Club in Hampton GA

Fortson 4-H Center is excited to offer its Environmental Education program to homeschool families this Spring!  Although usually used by traditional, brick-and-mortar private & public schools, Fortson 4-H Center has designed a program specifically and tailor-made for homeschool families!  

The Fortson Homeschool Club will start February 7 and end on May 23, meeting the 2^nd and 4^th Friday of every month.  This semester includes 8, 2-hour classes; 1 each meeting.  Intended age of students is 5-14 but all ages are welcome!  Classes include Herpetology, Pond Ecology, Forest Ecology, Team Building, Farm2Plate, Orienteering, Wilderness Survival and Pioneer Studies.  Fortson 4-H Center is a part of the University of Georgia’s cooperative extension so all classes are taught from an academic and research based curriculum, but are hands-on, engaging and FUN!

The Fortson Homeschool Club is fun and educational, making it an outstanding supplement to your instruction and a great way for you and your child to meet other homeschoolers!  Space is limited so register now!

Missionary Unit Study- November 20, 2013 Meeting

Our unity study this quarter is entitled "Adopt a Missionary!" For November, December and January every homeschool family is adopting a missionary family.  At our next meeting on November 20, 2013 at 11:30 am at the South Cobb Library we are going to show and tell about our missionary family and the area they live in.

It is not too late to choose a family. Please email us at schomeschoolers@thestudyhalledu.com to request a family.

If you already have a family, here are some questions Samantha V. is using to get to know her family better.

• Tell us what you love about your life as a missionary.
• What are some things that have been hard to adjust to?
• Where was your last mission trip?
• What is the native language of your last mission trip?
• What is the currency of your last mission trip?
• What kind of government do they have?
• What is the main religion?
• What kind of things do you miss about America when travelling?
• What are some games that are popular in that country?
• What do kids who do for fun?
• Do they celebrate Christmas?
• If yes what are some ways they celebrate?
• What would be a fun native dish that we could google and make on our own?
• What kind of homes do they live in?
• Why did you chose to become a missionary?

Lastly the following are some notes from Samantha's church pastor on how to pray for your missionaries. Her pastor was a missionary in Peru for 26 years and knows first hand the power and need of prayer.

• Pray for protection Romans 15:31, II Thes. 3:1 From wicked people and Satan.
• Pray for their ministry to be accepted be those they seek to reach Romans 15:31.
• Pray for them to have joy and encouragement Ephesians 15:32.
• Pray for open doors Colossians 4:3-4
• Pray for God to be glorified II Thes. 3:1-2
