3tise. There are many excellent reasons to purchase at the convention:you can handle and see what you are buying, ask the “experts” for theiradvice regarding curriculum and homeschooling issues, avoid shippingcosts, take your items home with you, make it worth the vendors’time and effort to offer their services at the convention, andenable <strong>CHAP</strong> to afford the expense of bringing the convention to centralPennsylvania.If you are unable to find what you want at the convention and forneeds throughout the year, take a look at our new bookstore. Manyof our vendors do, or will eventually, take part in it as well, so whenthey have returned home, you can help them by purchasing after theconvention season.For after-convention shopping, using our bookstore also assists homeeducation across the nation. <strong>CHAP</strong>, similar organizations in other states,the National Alliance for <strong>Christian</strong> Home Education Leadership, andHSLDA, all receive a small percentage of the sales generated with thegoal of growing homeschooling in our nation and world.After a year’s delay, we finally have a <strong>CHAP</strong> bookstore, in conjunctionwith GPA and HSLDA. The prices are competitive with other onlinebookstores for any non-member shopper and even better discountsare available for <strong>CHAP</strong> bookstore members (see below) and HSLDAmembers.Last year our plan was that <strong>CHAP</strong> members would receive a greaterdiscount in the bookstore than <strong>CHAP</strong> affiliates, and we stated thatthis would be a <strong>CHAP</strong> membership benefit. Due to many unforeseencircumstances and development delays, the bookstore establishmenttook much longer than we anticipated. As you may recall, we issued acoupon in the Winter 2008 issue for members to receive two free CDsof their choice at the convention to help compensate for this delay.There is no coupon this year.However, the benefits of current and past <strong>CHAP</strong> membership is valuedat much more than the membership fee, as you can see above. Thecost of the magazine and the HSLDA membership alone is worth atleast $25, other benefits not withstanding.Since this is so, and <strong>CHAP</strong> members were and are still gaining morebenefits than affiliates, we decided to open the bookstore to a widermarket.As we worked out the final details for the bookstore, it became apparentthat everyone involved would benefit more if the bookstorehad its own membership and that it be as inclusive as possible. Evena non-affiliate person may purchase from the bookstore, but with alesser discount. Thus, membership for the bookstore is different thanthe <strong>CHAP</strong> membership. All <strong>CHAP</strong> affiliates (which includes <strong>CHAP</strong>members) as defined above are automatically considered members ofthe <strong>CHAP</strong> bookstore and are eligible for the discount. Check it out atwww.gpasmartstore.com.4. How is membership in <strong>CHAP</strong> related to the HSLDAdiscount? Membership is for individuals; affiliation is forsupport groups, co-ops, or non-members associated with <strong>CHAP</strong>. Non-<strong>CHAP</strong> members are referred to as affiliates. Membership is $25. Supportgroup affiliation is free and requires the support group leader toregister for the support group or co-op. The support group or co-opleader can do this online. A person can qualify for the HSLDA discountas a member of an affiliated support group or co-op with <strong>CHAP</strong>.There are now two ways to get the HSLDA discount. You can qualifyfor the HSLDA discount by being a member of <strong>CHAP</strong> or by being amember of a <strong>CHAP</strong> affiliated support group or co-op.

After the session, the public may choose to register for the full convention at the door.Friday 10:00-10:45Doug PhillipsA <strong>Homeschool</strong> Vision of VictoryIf a generation is to rise up and call America back to its biblical foundations, it must surely come from the ranks of America’s homeschoolers. But homeeducation is not an end in itself. It is only a God-ordained means of accomplishing His purposes in the home, in the heart of a young person, and in societyas a whole. Doug will discuss the historical significance of the homeschool movement, the true objectives of home education and the importance of along-term multi-generational vision of victory. This inspirational session is for everyone who needs to be reminded of the beauty and greatness of thehomeschool vision.Turansky and MillerDeveloping Honesty in ChildrenDishonesty takes on different forms, including lying, cheating, stealing, and being mischievous. Even children who don’t struggle with these problemsneed to understand the truth. What is the difference between teasing and lying? Is it okay to say something that’s not true in order to protect a person’sfeelings? The answers to these and many other questions provide parents with ammunition to deal with one of the most challenging threats to a relationship,lack of honesty.Bruce ShorttTwo Enlightenment Lies: Columbus and the Flat Earth and the “Persecution” of GalileoThe left always attempts to discredit its opponents by resorting to smears. One of the familiar allegations by the left against <strong>Christian</strong>ity is that not onlyare <strong>Christian</strong>s against science, they have persecuted scientists and have stood in the way of progress. In particular, the “flat earth myth” and the story of the“persecution” of Galileo are two familiar smears against <strong>Christian</strong>ity that are so entrenched that they even find their way into some <strong>Christian</strong> writings. Thetruth may surprise you.Aaron WatsonChanging Lives to Change the WorldIn a culture plagued by apathy and tolerance, attempting to raise a generation of world changers is an uphill battle. The competence of our youth is limitedto video games, rebellion, and irresponsibility. In this workshop, Aaron will show teenagers and those around them that impacting culture is not an activitybeyond their capacity.Jay WileTeaching Critical ThinkingOne of the biggest failures of our public and private school systems is that they do not teach students how to think critically. In this seminar, Dr. Wile givesyou specific suggestions as to how you can teach your child to think critically, regardless of the subject matter. You will learn how to help your studentevaluate statements, look for hidden assumptions, find political/social agendas, and discover faulty logic. Although Dr. Wile’s area of interest is science, hewill show you how critical thinking applies to all academic areas, as well as all facets of your life.Jim MasonReligious Freedom in PennsylvaniaAn overview and update on the litigation challenging Pennsylvania’s homeschool law because it infringes on parents’ religious freedom.Diana WaringDesigner Genes - Part One (Teen Track)Based on the concept that God has personally and uniquely designed each one of us, Diana shares the amazing truth that we have DESIGNER genes –and not a single one of us is average! We are designed by God in a marvelously intricate way. Though we can not reduce our understanding of design to asimple, no-brainer, fit-everyone-into-a-box explanation, we can recognize similarities in how people learn. We are going to interactively consider ways ofunderstanding and honoring God’s design in each learner as we examine learning modalities, learning styles, and intelligences.Friday 11:00-11:45Richard “Little Bear” Wheeler Kooky Kids, “Kowabunga!”: The “Little Bear” StoryDo you have a child that baffles you, and you think, “Only the Lord knows what will become of him or her?” If there’s any comfort in company, I have oneof those kooky kids, too. And what’s more, I was one! Allow me to share my own testimony of how God could use a Crockett-loving, gopher-skinning, “retarded”boy and create a national ministry that has reached thousands through the vehicle of Mantle Ministries. This message is designed to assure parentsthat the Lord can direct the interests of our children and use them to His glory. Very inspirational for parents with “irregular” children.Mary SchofieldHigh School OverviewHow do you decide what to study in high school? How do you know that your teen is learning enough (and of the right things)? How can parents continuea homeschool lifestyle during the high school years? Must homeschool students model their high school years after the institutionalized educational styleof learning? Come and learn how to make your high school years special, wonderful, and complete as we discuss the overall plans needed to teach highschool at home.Rick BoyerWhat’s a Dad to Do?There are plenty of misconceptions about the role of the father in a homeschooling family. Some people think that if he can’t be at home during “schooltime,” he can’t be involved. Others think his job is to take over some of Mom’s chores in order to free her to spend more time with the children. ButScripture gives seven functions of a father in a godly home, and each of these can be applied very practically and powerfully in home education. Enjoy thewisdom and humor of this presentation as Rick answers the question of “What’s a Dad to Do?”

Should Christ centered homeschool families participate in organized sports and inwhat setting?Susan Kemmerer“Enjoying <strong>Homeschool</strong>” – An Oxymoron?It’s the start of another homeschooling day – and a Monday at that! You want to turn off the alarm and duck back under the covers. Do you find yourselfhardly able to drag yourself out of bed in the mornings as you face the coming day with dread? Do you feel like a failure? This homeschool thing certainlydoesn’t seem to be working the miracles you were led to expect. Rediscover the contagious fruit of JOY, and watch it grow in your homeschool.Diana WaringDesigner Genes - Part Two (Teen Track)Based on the concept that God has personally and uniquely designed each one of us, Diana shares the amazing truth that we have DESIGNER genes –and not a single one of us is average! We are designed by God in a marvelously intricate way. Though we can not reduce our understanding of design to asimple, no-brainer, fit-everyone-into-a-box explanation, we can recognize similarities in how people learn. We are going to interactively consider ways ofunderstanding and honoring God’s design in each learner as we examine learning modalities, learning styles, and intelligences.Friday 12:00-12:45Doug PhillipsThe Promise: The Beauty and Power of the Fifth CommandmentIs it well with your soul? The Scriptures say that being “well” and honoring your father and mother are inextricably linked. “Honor your father and mother”is the first command with a promise. It is a promise linked with spiritual and physical prosperity, including long life. Yet this foundational command islargely ignored and resented by teenagers and adults alike. As a young man, Doug purposed before the Lord to make it a life goal to honor his parents. Inthis foundational talk, Doug addresses challenging issues like: How do wise parents instill honor in their children? What does the Bible say about the waywe are to respond to perverse authority in parents? In what way are adult sons and daughters to honor their living parents? What are the consequences fordishonoring parents? How does our culture promote dishonor? Why do children who never learn to honor their parents consistently experience failure inmarriage and business? How can adult children restore honor to relationships that have long been tinged by dishonor?Turansky and MillerTeaching Kids to Respond Well to CorrectionMany children don’t know how to respond well to correction. After all, correction is one of the tools for learning. Instead many children blame, defend,rationalize and justify their behavior. Furthermore, many parents view correction as an interruption to their lives, not realizing the teaching opportunitiespresent. When parents have a plan for correction, they can help children develop good patterns that result in a clear and strong conscience.Bruce Shortt<strong>Christian</strong>ity and the FoundingThe postmodern left rejects the notion of absolute truth, and therefore the idea of historical truth. Instead of truth, claim the postmoderns, all we can haveare “useful narratives.” One of the highest priorities of postmodern “historians” has been to bury the truth about the <strong>Christian</strong> roots of America’s foundingand replace it with a narrative congenial to advancing secular humanism.Kathy Kuhl<strong>Homeschool</strong>ing Your Child with Learning or Attention DifficultiesHow do you prepare to homeschool a child who has difficulty learning and paying attention?

16Jay WileWhat about K-6 Science?<strong>Homeschool</strong>ing parents are faced with a dizzying array of choices when it comes to teaching science at the elementary level. In this seminar, Dr. Jay L.Wile, a former teacher at both the high school and university levels, helps parents make sense of it all. He discusses the two major approaches to teachingthe sciences, giving the strengths and weaknesses of each. He then surveys the major curriculum choices available to homeschoolers in order to help parentsfocus on what will work for their children. At the same time, however, Dr. Wile attempts to add perspective to the issue. He makes it clear that whileteaching science at the elementary level is important, there are other subjects upon which an elementary-level education should focus.Maggie HoganClassical Composers: Music History for the Musically ChallengedThis is a fast, fun, integrated approach to history and music for those of us who never learned this stuff.

Did you ever have a schoolteacher tell you that George Washington was a committed <strong>Christian</strong>, and that he believed that Divine Providence protected him in battle? “Little Bear”helps to set the record straight. The purpose of this message is to reveal and acknowledge the wonderful works of God in the critical, as well as personalevents all throughout the course of history, so that we may fulfill the commission—That the generation to come might know… and declare them to theirchildren” (Psalm 78:6).Bruce ShorttSlaying the Government School Goliath: How <strong>Homeschool</strong>ers Can Help Restore our CultureIn 1960 no one would have predicted that the most significant development in education over the next 50 years would be homeschooling.

Come hear some practical suggestions about howyour family can contribute to this vital work.Rick and Marilyn BoyerRaising Cain – And Abel (A Look at Sibling Rivalry)Scripture records the stories of several cases of strife between siblings.

Doug answers these and similar questionsin this important introduction to <strong>Christian</strong> apologetics and the true meaning of a biblical worldview. This talk is appropriate for adults and high schoolstudents. It is especially important that home educators understand a <strong>Christian</strong> theory of knowledge and education if they hope to train their children to“take every thought captive to the obedience of Jesus Christ.” Issues discussed include: Can academics be theologically neutral? What is the role of logicin a <strong>Christian</strong> worldview? Do facts speak for themselves? How may we defend the Bible? Lastly, how do we answer the problem of evil?


Stan JohnA Blueprint for Change? - Returning to a Culture of FamilyThroughout the last two years we have heard a cacophony of voices advocating for significant change in our nation.

The world around us is crying out for healthy, long term family and marriagerelationships. With hopes to encourage and inspire home educators, Stan John will lay out a vision for us to reach our culture and establish a “Culture ofFamily.”17Jay Wile“Teaching” the Junior High & High School Sciences at HomeIn this seminar, Dr. Jay L. Wile explains how any parent can help his or her children learn science at the upper levels. As a former university teacher and a former highschool teacher, Dr. Wile has experienced first-hand the failure of our public school system. As a result, he is a staunch advocate of homeschooling a student all the waythrough the high school years. Dr. Wile agrees that most parents do not have the ability to teach the high school sciences at home, but he also contends that this is not aproblem. By the time a homeschooled student reaches high school, he or she should have the ability to learn independently or with the help of another. Thus, Dr. Wileadmonishes the parent to learn the subject right along with the student. With both the parent and the student helping each other learn, an upper level science experiencecan be equally rewarding for both! In order to help the homeschooling parent plan his or her science curriculum, Dr. Wile provides study timelines for both thescience-oriented and the non-science-oriented student. In addition, he discusses the mathematical skills needed in order to maintain the proposed timeline. Finally, Dr.Wile discusses the curriculum that will make it possible for the homeschooling parent to provide a quality high school science education for his or her children.Kathy KuhlTeaching Math to Struggling LearnersHow do you bear to tackle math facts again, when your child didn’t get them for the last four years?

On the one hand, many materials seem designed for a classroom setting withexpensive equipment required, and on the other hand, homeschool-designed materials vary so widely in ability level (for both students and teachers) thatit is hard to know what will work. Parents often wonder if they need an advanced degree to teach advanced courses, or if “throwing money” at a difficultsubject will help, or if materials they like are too basic to count for high school.

An old legislative warhorse’sthoughts turn to getting the Pennsylvania homeschooling law improved. Many have askedme what <strong>CHAP</strong>’s plans are for this legislative term.<strong>CHAP</strong> (The <strong>Christian</strong> <strong>Homeschool</strong> Association of Pennsylvania, the largest homeschoolsupport organization in the state) has long thought that the Pennsylvania law is far too restrictive.In our early attempts to change the law, we tried unsuccessfully to get what wecalled a “freedom bill,” a law with very few restrictions. This freedom bill, in spite of widespreadsupport among homeschoolers, was soundly and easily defeated by the educationestablishment.We subsequently went on to HB 1273 which was a bill that few homeschoolers thought wasperfect, but was a bill most homeschoolers could support. In essence, it puts the evaluationstep on the qualified evaluator rather than having both a qualified evaluator and the schooldistrict do evaluations as our current law requires. The current method has two disadvantages:the first is a form of double jeopardy for the homeschooling family and the second isan unfunded mandate for the school district.HB 1217 is the current version of the previous bill (1273) that we supported last session. HB1273 was introduced and championed by Representative Marisco, at the request of <strong>CHAP</strong>.Things moved smoothly as <strong>CHAP</strong> and our legal counsel met with the sponsor and the PASchool Board Association. Then all discussions stopped as the School Board Associationrefused to continue discussions while the RFPA was being litigated.<strong>CHAP</strong> is supporting HB 1217. We believe passing HB 1217 will make a better climate forhomeschooling in PA. Some have expressed concern that the political climate may be lessfavorable than in the past, but we don’t believe we can miss a whole legislative session dueto fear. Our history has been that we have had more success stopping negative things than wehave had in accomplishing positive changes. We believe that we can stop the bill if it wouldbe corrupted to the point of being unacceptable.<strong>Homeschool</strong>ers in the state need to be active in order to prevent further erosion of our freedomsto homeschool. This will be the topic of the opening talk (which is free and opento the public) for the <strong>23rd</strong> annual <strong>CHAP</strong> <strong>Convention</strong> held at the Farm Show Complex on<strong>May</strong> 8th and 9th. We are also having other sessions which deal with issues facing homeschoolersin Pennsylvania and the United States. For further information about the conventiongo to <strong>CHAP</strong>online.com.If you want to be involved in this effort to improve the law in Pennsylvania, be sure that<strong>CHAP</strong> has your contact data. You can go to our web page and sign up at Chaponline.com.Thank you.This letter may quoted in its entirety, but no permission is granted to use it in parts.Sincerely,Bruce Eagleson, MDChairman, <strong>CHAP</strong>

When a wormloosens soil, the roots of theplant spread throughout the soil.Worms are also called nature’splow. Worms twist and turngoing throughout the soil. Thiscreates tunnels. Air flows into thetunnels so the worm can breath.Water and moist air travelsthrough the tunnels, because theworm needs moist air around it’sbody, and the plant needs waterto grow. The plant’s roots carrywater up through the roots so theplants can grow better andfaster.My 8th grade daughter truly loves IEW. We have filled 2 binders already this yearwith her writing. It is always the first subject she jumps to do each day. This programhas been such a blessing.—Rhonda Lynn in Ohio
