Fairy Houses and more!


The DLC is hopping with activity this winter. We had a really excellent Dry Ice Experiments workshop led by mom Charlotte. Take a look at our homepage to see a short video. Our expanded Book Club is going strong. Ancient History Club is so popular it's closed to new kids.

What do you want from the DLC? Read below to hear about what some homeschoolers have put together, and let us know if you have ideas for new workshops or classes.


Fairy Houses

Come build a special house for your backyard fairies or gnomes! We'll provide wooden bases and lots of cones, acorns, lichen, moss, twigs, seashells, some colored glass and toilet paper tubes for round houses. Bring any other decorative pieces you may want to add and a glue gun or tacky glue.
Leaders: Kim and Sage
Cost: No material fee. $2-5 donation per family to the DLC (free to supporting members).
RSVP to Kim  (ideally by Tuesday noon) so we can be sure to have enough supplies.
Wednesday,  2:00–3:00 pm

Family Spanish

Anne Marie Scott, a Waldorf-trained teacher and Ocean Grove vendor is teaching a Spanish class on Tuesday afternoons. The kids are really enjoying the class, but several families have had to stop for scheduling reasons. We need more people to keep the class going.  She teaches Spanish songs, plays games, and leads them in short conversations.
Leader: Anne-Marie
Cost: Please contact Anne-Marie directly to inquire about classes and fees.
Tuesdays, 2-3 pm
 

What Types of Workshops Would You Like To See At The DLC?

The DLC is here to serve the needs of homeschoolers.  Input from members and the community helps greatly.   If there is a particular class or workshop that you would like to see at the DLC, please let us know.  We are also looking for volunteers to lead workshops.  These can be as short as one session or as many weeks as you desire.   Contact the DLC with your input.
