Trinity HomesCool Depot

Great Things are Happening at The Depot!

Homeschool Support, Resources, Tutorials, and Co-ops

Trinity Home'sCool Depot is enjoying it's fifth year of ministry serving West Cobb, Douglas, and Paulding counties. A homeschool mother of four, Director, Kealei Castle feels called to support homeschool families in their journey. All homeschoolers are invited to join Trinity Home'sCool for support meetings, play dates, field trips, and events.

Monday/Wednesday tutorials boast of a small classroom environment with competitive curriculum and individual help from caring tutors for 1rst-6th grade students. Tuesday/Thursday classes for 7th-2th grade also offer the best curriculums, qualified tutors, and on-line syllabi. Accreditation is available for high school students through Trinity Center for Accreditation. New classes this second semester include an Automotiveclass, Construction 101, HomeEc, and Lego Robotics. Register now. It's not too late.

What else is new? It is our Friday Enrichment Labs. They have been restructured as Co-op classes for the traditional homeschool family and enrichment for all. These will include science enrichment labs, Art/Art History, Computer classes, Physical Education, Spanish, Drama, Peer Evangelism, Support meetings, and more. Send request for application to Kealei@HomesCoolDepot.org. Classes will be offered based on participation and space limitations. Cost for most of these co-op style classes will $30 per semester per hour-long class. Fridays do begin with a free breakfast and Fellowship of Christian Athletes for Middle/High school students.

The mission of Trinity Home's Cool Depot is as follows: to equip home school families, community, parents, and students with the requisite tutorial classes, support groups, resources and enrichment programs to maximize parental involvement and provide a comprehensive, individualized learning experience which results in each student's educational success without regard to their economic circumstances.

Regardless of whether an individual takes part in tutorial classes at the Depot, families are invited to join us for field trips, play dates, skate dates, parties, and more. We desire to be a blessing to our home school community and encourage others in their home school journey.

History Fair Project

These projects are due on,

Mon-Wed Students: Wednesday, January 27, 2010

Tue-Thurs Students: Thursday, January 28, 2010

Friday Students: Friday, January 29, 2010

For grades to be give they must be taken in for a teacher to see them before the History fair takes place. Each Student must take their project and set it up be judged.

Display Broads must have:

a. Title

b. Research Topic

c. Interesting Facts

d. Pictures

KEY INFO

Þ For every history project, you need to have a very organized and neat display board to teach your work to your audience. In some cases people use a standard, three-panel display board that unfolds to show your information. ( see picture above)

Þ ORGANIZE your information like news paper so that your audience can quickly follow the thread of your project by reading from top to bottom, then left to right. Include each step of your project: topics, dates, facts that must be displayed correctly and in chronological order.

Þ FONT SIZE should be at least a size 16 for the text so that it is easy to read from a few feet away. It’s OK to use slightly smaller fonts for captions on pictures and tables.

Þ TITLE should be large enough to read from across the room. Make sure that it accurately describes your work and grab people’s attention.

Þ PICTURES are always a great way to explain your information. Images speak and explain more than writing does. But, remember do not put text in or on the images because it can and is very difficult to read.

JUDGING

Þ The students will be judged on:

ü Presentation (neatness and spacing )

ü Clarity of information

ü Creativity ( use of materials )

ü Use of color

ü Overall design and format
