Heart to Heart Burned Out, Tired Out, or Just Out of it.
Home schooling can seem frustrating at times. Especially in March when we think our children
should be repeating back the lessons we have so carefully instructed them. Instead we wake up and the
house is a mess, the children are fighting and not listening. They can’t seem to remember what we taught
them yesterday. All seems lost or so futile. For many of us the answer is to put them back into school.
Surely a professional teacher will do a better job than us. But wait… we must remember the vision. We
have counted the cost of home schooling, but now we want to give up. Our dream of godly children
around our table is becoming less attainable. This is the time to pray, read our Bibles and go to the Lord
for encouragement. We must remember that parents are pivotal in communicating God’s truth to their
children.
Message Bible / Romans 12:9-21
Love from the center of who you are; don’t fake it. Run for dear life from evil; hold on for dear
life to good. Be good friends who love deeply; practice playing second fiddle.
Don’t burn out; keep yourselves fueled and aflame. Be alert servants of the Master, cheerfully ex-
pectant. Don’t quit in hard times; pray all the harder. Help needy Christians; be inventive in hospitality.
Bless your enemies; no cursing under your breath. Laugh with your happy friends when they’re
happy; share tears when they’re down. Get along with each other; don’t be stuck-up. Make friends with
nobodies; don’t be the great somebody.
Don’t hit back; discover beauty in everyone. If you’ve got it in you, get along with everybody.
Don’t insist on getting even, that’s not for you to do. “I’ll do the judging,” says God. “I’ll take care of it.”
Our Scriptures tell us that if you see your enemy hungry, go buy that person lunch, or if he’s
thirsty, get him a drink. Your generosity will surprise him with goodness. Don’t let evil get the best of
you; get the best of evil by doing good.

Tuesday Classes @ Community Baptist Church and Covina Evangelical Free Church 9090 19th St., Rancho Cucamonga, A 91701 1661 E. Cypress Street, Covina CA 91724
Grades K—8
New Rancho Cucamonga CBC schedule for 2013-2014:
Meeting Alternating Tuesdays at Community Baptist Church on the corner of 19th and Beryl in Rancho Cucamonga.
Start date: September 10 (Alternating with Covina)
Time: 8:30 am to 12:00 noon—MORNINGS
Science—Our new science teacher for the 2013-2014 school year, Tara Pomeroy, received her B.S. in Biological Sci-
ences at the University of Alaska, Fairbanks and her Doctorate of Physical Therapy from U.S.C. She and her husband
have been homeschooling their two daughters for the past six years.
This engaging and interactive class will explore and test hypotheses regarding a wide variety of scientific concepts that
highlight God's awesome creation. The class will use visual media, demonstrations, crafts, reading, writing, and discus-
sions to stimulate kids' sense of wonder about the world around them. K-8
Character Building—Teacher to be announced
What is character and how can we intentionally develop it into our everyday thoughts and actions? We will spend this
year expanding our Biblical understanding of character, learning what counts as character with God and how and when
to apply it. We will engage in age appropriate discussions along with enjoyable, yet thought provoking activities for
ladies and gentlemen in grades K – 8.
PE K - 8 —Teacher: Helen Tinker My desire and focus this year will be to teach group outdoor games that might be
played in a schoolyard. I would like to break up the year into four week blocks so that we have ample time to learn the
skill for each activity and to enjoy improving our skills. I would like to take the time to learn the rules and team sports-
manship as well as gracious winning and losing. The schedule I have put together at this time is as follows:
Block 1. Four Square- for all ages
Block 2. Flag football- for all ages
Block 3. Spud – younger ages
Ultimate Frisbee older ages
Block 4. Jump rope/ Chinese jump rope-Badminton
I would like to possibly add additional games to our schedule so this is tentative at the four week time block. I look
forward to getting to know each of you and your children.

Music History—Teacher: Trisha McIlwain
My husband Shawn and I are in our fourth year of home schooling our three children: Joshua (5th grade), Sarah (3rd

sity, where I earned a BA in Social Science with a History Emphasis. I received my credential and returned to Western
Christian High School as a teacher. During my four years there, I taught both World and U.S. History, until my first-
born came along and I became a full-time Mommy. My other loves include Bible study and music!
Class Description:
We will be going through "Hymns for a Kid's Heart" by Joni Erickson Tada and Bobbie Wolgemuth. Each week we'll
be introduced to a new hymn and brief history of its author. We'll sing the hymn together and discuss its meaning. The
children will also work on compiling their own mini hymnbook of all the songs they've studied to take home at the end
same as previous 3 yrs - OR student softback ISBN# 1-59166-639-2
check with me for used available) T.E. ISBN#0-89084-791-6 (2 VOLUMES!!)
This is a full year course. Will cover skills required to proceed into High School Algebra, and students completing it will be WELL PRE-
PARED for Algebra 1.
**I get asked often, which math should my Jr Higher be doing?” If your student does a decent job (80% average) on basic mathematics,
especially multiplication & division, and maybe ok on fractions, he/she should take Pre-Algebra. The current “fashionable” trend in educa-
tion these days (public and private) is that students should take Algebra I in 8th grade, which would mean Pre-Alg in 7th. This works for
some, and is (in my opinion) a GRAVE mistake for a lot of others! According to Bob Jones, this is an 8th grade curriculum.
This class is available, as well, to High School students who require additional work on the basics!
Call me if you need to talk about any of this!
Starts right out working with equations, covering properties of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Will move into decimals,
integers, multiples, factors, fractions, equations and inequalities, ratio, proportion, percentages, geometry and graphing. Emphasis through
entire text is on equations and solving them, using all the mathematical concepts introduced. These basic skills would be prerequisite for an
Algebra course. Students will learn concepts in class, then complete daily assignments at home. Daily homework to be corrected by parent
and/or student. Tests will be sent home, to be administered by a parent or homeschooling teacher, and brought back to the next class ses-
sion. TEACHER’S
