We have found a new Chemistry Teacher--yahoo!
God has blessed us again. If you are looking for a science class for your junior high or highschool student, look no more!
Mrs. Grainger has Bachelor of Science in Chemistry with minors in Biology and Mathematics. She is currently a substitute teacher in the Fort Zumwalt School District, located in the St. Charles County area. I have experience working as a Christian private school teacher for various subjects, including but not limited to Chemistry, Biology, and Algebra. She taught for a year at two schools before going into the Life Sciences Industry, where she worked in industrial food microbiology and chemistry labs. She also worked in a lab at a community college for some time.
Earth Science Class--takes the place of Physical Science this year!
Calling all 7th-9th graders! In place of Physical Science this year we chose to offer Earth Science. The text is done by Dr. Jay Wile and he has this way of making his text very friendly!

You can use Paypal, a credit card through Paypal or send cash or check (details on the form).
S.H.A.R.E. is an independent support group founded and operated by volunteer parents who home educate their children in the Greater St. Louis Area. Families from all over the St. Louis region and nearby Illinois counties are members of SHARE, although we are based in the South City, South County and Mid County areas.
We are a diverse group of homeschoolers with a wide variety of learning and teaching styles. Some families are large, others are small; some are homeschooling veterans of twenty years, many are just beginning.
The majority of members are Christians and leadership is totally Christian; however, people of all faiths are welcome in S.H.A.R.E. We are united by our choice to homeschool our children and give them the best possible educational experience AND by our desire to protect homeschooling rights in Missouri and elsewhere.
Our main goal is to inform, equip and encourage families in their homeschooling journey!
S.H.A.R.E. offers many activities and classes to supplement and enrich your home education experience, including an E-NEWSLETTER that is filled with both upcoming SHARE activities and other opportunities that your homeschoolers may benefit from. Be the first to find out about such events as:

SHARE Homeschool Garden Club--New!
We are pleased to announce the formation of
THE SHARE HOMESCHOOL GARDEN CLUB!
Between the buildings at our Homelink location there is a once-beautiful garden area and many of us would like to see it in stunning shape again. Your area will be small (Lisa divided it into 31 sections!), so it should not be a lot of work for just one family.
Or if you are really into gardening, you may take two areas.
If you are interested in knowing more about "adopting" a tiny patch of this garden,
please click below.
YES, I AM INTERESTED IN THE GARDEN!

Message from Ms. Hoffmann about the Inventors' Class at Homelink...
Thank-you!!!
Here is a list of other things that we are looking for that will help out the students who are doing "The Inventor's Club". Many thanks to all those who contributed to the collecting of "LOTS OF THINGS" already. It is much appreciated, and the class would not be able to run without the donations. I am very excited to see such a great response.

Bloom and Grow Speech Therapy
Does your child struggle with academics, vocabulary, following directions, or reading?
Detecting a speech or language problem can be tricky if you don’t know the traits of typical development. The simple rule of thumb is a language problem may exist if a child doesn’t understand and or express what they want to say, as well as other children of the same age. Research shows that the earlier problems are detected and treated, the better children progress, and keep pace with peers in learning and social relationships.
STACY BICK, former homeschooling mom and Speech Therapist at BLOOM AND GROW SPEECH THERAPY, now has openings to help your child with any concerns you may have from articulation, vocabulary, language, listening skills, auditory processing, stuttering, to vocal quality. She is offering a free 15 minute screening. And if therapy is needed, she offers a 50% discount to homeschooling families. Virtual therapy is also available, if desired!
Contact her at bloomandgrowst@gmail.com or call 314-223-2289.
Speech and Debate Club
ARCH is an amazing community where children as young as ten can learn alongside seniors in high school. The lessons in rhetoric and public speaking will never be forgotten. This club is a must for any homeschooled child in St Louis!
We are a STOA speech and debate club that meets weekly:
South STL County (Rooftop Church) - Mondays from 2-5pm.
St. Charles County (Liberty Church) - Tuesdays from 7-9pm.
Club leader is Jeremy Zilkie.
(314) 489-4607
. Stoa Speech & Debate is for Christian homeschool students between the ages of 12-18.
· Students ages 10-11 can attend, but need to be “mature” in their educational interests and emotional development.
· The materials and concepts we cover can be challenging and require focus.
