Curriculum Fair of The Arundel Homeschool Support Group

The Arundel Homeschool Support Group held a curriculum fair and workshops at Broadneck Evangelical Presbyterian Church this week to provide the homeschool community exactly what they need as far as current books, materials and resources.

Families from far and wide visited Broadneck to browse the latest educational materials for homeschooling.

Vendors stocked their tables with everything a curious mind might use to grow. Walking down the aisles, one could easily find scientific models, text books, recreation books, curriculum outlines, art supplies and equipment.

Such things are generally expected from an educationally-based fair, but sometimes large, furry, unexpected things can pop up as well. Louie, the fun-loving mascot for the Bowie Baysox, was also in attendance. He posed for pictures, gave out high-fives and had no qualms about sneaking up on browsing
patrons.

During the evening, seven workshops were offered to provide parents with additional educational tools based on their personal interests and circumstances. "Hands on Learning," "Executive Functioning & Time Management," "Classical Conversations," "Nutrition and Behavior" and "Don’t Let Your Wife Homeschool!" (for men only) were some of the topics covered.

The Arundel Homeschool Support Group began in 1990 as a way to provide an outlet to local homeschooler families and to create a friendly network. Since then, membership has grown immensely.
