Maybe you’ve thought of it before. Or maybe this is the first time you’re considering it. What is it like? How does it work? Can I do it?\nHomeschooling brings up different images for different people. Maybe it’s idyllic picnics while reading classic literature aloud. Maybe it’s lively family discussions\, punctuated by laughter and rhetoric. Maybe it’s still being in your pajamas at two in the afternoon\, learning about fractions by baking cookies. Maybe it’s cajoling your kid (again) to diagram a sentence or them struggling to understand that algebra concept you haven’t used and forgot 15 years ago. \nMaybe it’s a lot of pressure. \nWhatever your preconceived notions or fears of homeschooling\, the truths and realities can be very different. Well\, except the part about doing work in your pajamas – that part is very true.\nThe truth is there are many ways to homeschool – as many ways as there are homeschool families. There are tools\, and tricks\, and help along the way. The trick is finding the tools that work for you. \nYou can find out more with Linda Hincks of Wren Homeschool Consulting in our upcoming talk So\, You’re Thinking of Homeschooling: An Afternoon Conversation and Information Session. Find out Connecticut’s laws and guidelines\, ask your questions\, and get some answers. \nLinda Hincks\, a homeschooling veteran of 20 years\, is a former classroom teacher and museum educator. She’s taught groups of 2-250 in diverse subjects from poetry to oceanography to raptor physiology. Through the years\, she has helped many families in their homeschooling journey. She can help you\, too.

This intentional book club\, Mystic Conversations on Race (MyCOR)\, is intended for people who understand that the toxicity of historic and contemporary racism must be confronted…in our hears\, in our minds\, and in our communities. \nWe are “restarting” in September because MyCOR “live” was shutdown after an initial meeting at the Mystic & Noank Library in February 2020 due to the pandemic. Events since have shown that the need to educate ourselves on racism in both historical and contemporary contexts is as important as ever. We are “intentional\,” as a book club\, because we “intend” that our reading\, discussion\, and reflection will lead to personal change and broader action. We will reboot virtually\, using the Google Classroom platform and meeting on a monthly basis for small group discussions via Zoom. \nIn this book club\, we will reflect on texts (fiction and nonfiction)\, films\, and podcasts on the origins of race\, the processes and effects of racism\, and on white complicity and supremacy. We will be reading (among others) Toni Morrison\, Ibram X. Kendi\, Isabel Wilkerson\, Dorothy Roberts\, Imani Perry\, and more. We will also be viewing/listening to films/podcasts by Katrina Browne\, Ava Duvernay\, and The New York Times’ “1619 Project.” \nPlease register: Please email start@stmarksmystic.org with “Mystic Conversations on Race” as the subject and include your name and phone number. \nQUESTIONS? Call 860-572-9549 or email start@stmarksmystic.org. A member of the St. Mark’s Anti-Racism Task Force (StART) will get back to you. \nRegister here: https://www.eventkeeper.com/code/ekform.cfm?curOrg=MYSTICNOANK&curID=450579 URL:https://thisismystic.com/event/digital-program-mystic-conversations-on-race/ LOCATION:Zoom CATEGORIES:Book,Library ORGANIZER;CN="Mystic &%3B Noank Library":MAILTO:kkenney@mysticnoanklibrary.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20200914T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20200914T190000 DTSTAMP:20261111T234539 CREATED:20200819T234643Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200819T234643Z UID:10005559-1600106400-1600110000@thisismystic.com SUMMARY:Digital Program: Mystic Conversations on Race DESCRIPTION:St. Mark’s Anti-Racism Team will be “re-starting” holding a monthly intentional book club on the topic of racism.
