Hi Everybody.

I'm looking to organize a small group for learning more about computer programming in a fun and creative environment.  My son is 9 and would spend all his time on the computer if I let him, so I would like to channel that interest into something educational and constructive.

The computer programming language used as an introduction would be Logo and the subjects would be ranging from basic turtle operations (a kind of computer controlled pen) to full blown programming of games / programs, based on interest and skill.

Storytelling and Bookmaking Workshop
at MAI - 3580 Jeanne Mance, room 428
For homeschoolers aged (roughly) 6 to 10!

Starting Wednesday October 15th, and every Wednesday for 8 weeks

Time: 1-3pm

Hello all,

Because we are so much more West, it is too far for us to join in your yoga group so I am sending out an invitation to find out who is interested in doing some family yoga with my son (age 3.5) and I.  I have found a teacher in a yoga center in Pointe Claire Village who is willing to offer us a one hour class for a period of 10 weeks.  The cost is 150$ per couple (parent and one child) and each additional child is 50$ for the entire session.

This was recently posted on the Events list:

Registration is now on for the following bilingual workshop dedicated to homeschoolers and taking place at the Pointe-Claire Cultural Center, Stewart Hall, 176 ch. Bord-du-Lac--Lakeshore, Pointe-Claire, Qc, H9S 4J7, 514-630-1220:

At the Dollard Centre for the Arts - 12001 de Salaberry, DDO

Wednesdays 10-11:30 am, start Oct 1, 8 sessions

Community Schooling on the West Island are offering workshops to homeschooling families:

Due to the high level of interest in the hands on learning workshops, we have organized a schedule of math and science workshops for the fall.

Michelle is a dancer who wants to share what she loves...

Did your mom drag you by the ear to ballet classes when you were young and now you wish you had never given it up?

Have you ever wanted to try ballet but were too shy?

Do you think ballet is a snooze-fest? Well, think again…

Come join me for a fun, laid back, open ballet session that will last six weeks. I have been dancing for over 15 years and want to share my passion for dance with you.

Victoria is initiating three new groups for homeschoolers on the West Island:

I saw this announced on Events:

* WHERE SCIENCE MEETS ART (Specialy designed for Homeschoolers) (7-12 yrs)
Venecija Levi-Breder

Parents who homeschool want to provide the very best education for their children.  There are times when we all could benefit from assistance in one subject area or another.  This workshop will provide weekly activities to supplement the homeschooling experience.  Activities in this programme include science exploration: math, physics, and biology, followed by art education: drawing, painting, sculpting and much more.  Bilingual.

Did you know that Gomez and Morticia Addams homeschooled Wednesday and Pugsley? Yes it's true!
