Educational Materials Swap September 16

Mark your calendars! The Relaxed Homeschoolers of NH will be hosting an Educational Materials swap on September 16th from 10am to 1pm at the Old Town Hall in Weare. Books, workbooks, curriculum, manipulatives, educational games, educational toys, and all other educational materials will be welcome. If any materials are supportive of a particular religion, that will be noted on a tag, as some shoppers might be looking to either acquire or avoid faith-based materials.

Special Opportunity to Care for Animals at Stonewall Farm in Keene

Several helpers are needed to care for small animals at Stonewall Farm. Most visitors are able to only observe our small animals, however, being a small animal chore volunteer allows you physical access to our animals, as well as access to learning about the care of the animals from their dietary needs, space needs, and grooming (such as with the rabbits). The chores take about 20 minutes to complete, but they can always take longer if you choose to learn to groom one of our rabbits, or visit a bit longer.

Book Discussion Group in Wolfeboro

High school homeschoolers and their parents are invited to join our Teen Book Discussion Group held in Wolfeboro on the third Tuesday of the month at 7-9 p.m. This will be our tenth year reading classic books found on college and college-prep reading lists. This is not a class, but an opportunity for students who are reading books of this type to share their thoughts and learn to discuss opinions and ideas in a comfortable setting.
