How to Teach Math and Science with Real Books with Maureen Wittmann--$10
Date: April 1 7:30-9 pm CT/8:30-10 pm ET
Literature isn't just for reading! You can teach math, science, language arts, and more using living books. This is the third in a series of three talks on the topic of teaching through real books. Have you ever said out loud, "I hate math!" Or, "Math was my worst subject!" Was science always a tough subject for you? Do you struggle wondering how you can bring the fullness of the subject to your children? If so, you've come to the right place. In this talk Maureen will show you how to let go of your math and science phobia and keep from passing it onto your children. Math can be fun and interesting. Really. You just need to look at it in a new light. Science can go beyond the kitchen experiments and come alive in a child's imagination. Really. Maureen will bring lots of books with her for show and tell. You'll leave this online seminar loaded with book titles, fresh ideas, and practical tips. You won't want to miss it! Maureen is the author of For the Love of Literature published by Ecce Homo Press, available from your favorite bookseller or maureenwittmann.com.
If you cannot make it, not to worry. They will be available later on demand at the Homeschool Connections site.

God bless,
Walter
