I teach the Red Cross swim lessons for levels 1-4 to homeschoolers ages 3-high school at the Shepherd University Wellness Center in Shepherdstown, WV. Children love learning how to swim so...it can also be a great topic for homeschool creative writing.😊

Ongoing Events
Good News Club® is a ministry of Child Evangelism Fellowship in which trained teachers meet with groups of children in schools, homes, community centers, churches, just about anywhere the children can easily and safely meet with their parent’s permission. I have taught in Good News Clubs for a dozen years and have led our local Boonsboro, MD club for several years. I am happy to offer my “in the field” recommendations to anyone interested in starting a Good News Club. The curriculum is excellent, and children really enjoy participating.

March 10, 2022 - Guest Blog for Healthy Living Series
I wrote an article to help others learn how to enjoy and have the fruits of their labor by starting a backyard vegetable garden. This can be a great family activity and offer lots of fun journal and science writing ideas for children and teens.

In Summer 2021, I team led LightLab Church Camp Facebook live presentations for children, one of which is on YouTube—Lightlab Church Camp July 5, 2021. We also had in person hands-on science lessons with Bible lessons to explore the nature of light and how Jesus is the Light of the World. Lightlab by Suzanne O. Shera is a great book for children for the science of light and Bible lessons. I encourage you to check it out and be blessed.
