LAF 2009 Spring Dance- Fire & Ice

Thursday April 16, 2009 LAF held there Spring dance for Home School Teens. The theme was Fire & Ice. All the kids had a blast, four hours of loud music, dancing and food. I was very proud, as usual they were all very well behaved.

Titanic Mock Trial 2009

 

Last night the LAF (Learning Adventures of Fort Bend) teens put on a trial to end all trials. They did a mock trial, Mrs. Jenkins Vs. White star lines. Mrs. Jenkins was suing the White star Lines for the death of her husband. Trevor played Officer Lightower. He did an excellent job!

Showcase

Showcase 2009

The goal of Showcase each year is to provide our young people with an environment where they can share their special interests and talents with all of our LAF families.


Jed made a model of an Anderson Shelter from WWII. He really enjoyed this little venture. He sat with his project the entire 2 hours and shared all he knows about them.

Starry Night Teen Dance

We try to throw a teen dance twice a year for the home-school teens in the area. Here are some pix.

New workshops

A couple weeks ago we took a tour of The City of Sugar Land City Hall. The boys found it interesting and Jed loved being the photographer. :)

The boys are moving on to their new units in our home school coop. Joshua will be doing a work shop called "Something Worth Fighting For". It is another government class. They are studying the different branches of the government, Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

Trevor is doing a Mock Trial workshop once a month and a work Shop called "On the Contrary". In both workshops they work on critical thinking and government. The mock trial workshop they obviously work through the process and procedures of a trial. On the Contrary is a discussion/debate class. They are currently discussing political topics.

Jed is doing a Weather workshop. Their first week they discussed seasons and did a fun relay.

Yesterday we held our 4th Annual Car Wash for CF. It was a beautiful day but we didn't get much business. We mad about $200, about half what we usually make. Two weeks from today we will be walking in the CF Walk. You can sponsor one of the boys by going to: http://tinyurl.com/48ypq5 or http://tinyurl.com/4f2clf
