Orientation

Welcome to Challenge A!

My name is Jenny Minard, and I’m going to be your child’s director this year. Woohoo! Not only am I a brand-new challenge director, but this is also the first year I have a child in the program. #heylincoln So exciting!

The following videos contain a lot of the information you will need to kick-start your challenge year, but be aware that we may build on this throughout the year. As a newbie, I’m still learning and constantly have questions, but if you can direct your questions to me, I can seek out the answers from those more experienced than myself! Thanks for understanding and being super patient with me.

One quick note…

Our guides will be in soon and I will be giving them to your children on our first community day on the 15th, but please be aware that I am not supposed to hand them out unless first semester’s tuition has been paid! That total is $905 and should be given directly to me.

Thanks so much!

Now, onto the videos…

Going through the guide…

  • Read the articles at the beginning. So good!!
  • Semester snapshot – so helpful (ex. Science Fair)
  • Weekly lessons, at home vs. in community
  • Appendices are da BOMB! Reference these often
  • Briefly explaining the Logic (math) strand
  • Feel free to rewatch this video once you have your guide

The Appendices…

  • Tailoring the lessons. So important!

What to bring to class…

  • Logic: CORRECTION!! Kids don’t need to bring their math text! Just an example of ONE math problem they worked on this week.
  • Grammar: Henle Latin text (blue), Henle Latin grammar (purple), Latin workspace A. The Seton Latin key!
  • Research: Bullet journal (I will provide this), pencils, pens, colored pencils
  • Exposition: “The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe” and The Lost Tools of Writing student textbook. NO teacher guide!
  • Debate: Exploring the World Through Cartography
  • Bible, lunch, water bottle, and any snacks you might like. HOWEVER, on our first day, please bring some money as our whole group will be eating out!

Hi, I’m Jenny!

I'm a homeschooling momma of three sweet kiddos. I always wanted to be an entrepreneur, but I had a full-time job as a music teacher. Then I became a mom, and all I wanted to do was stay home. Six years later, and JennyMinard.com was born. This blog chronicles my journey as a work-at-home-mom, who uses essential oils to get through each day, and is on a mission to reach Diamond!
