====================================================================== H S L D A ' s W E E K L Y U P D A T E ====================================================================== ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -> How many acorns can a chipmunk hold in its cheeks? We don't know! But we do know that gathering little by little enables ordinary folks to prepare for hard times. That principle is behind HSLDA's payment plan: by paying a month at a time, families can receive an annual HSLDA membership. Meanwhile, they can feel secure as they homeschool and focus on other priorities -- their children. Don't go nuts trying to pay for membership all at once. Choose one of our convenient payment plans.

Next week on HSLDA's @home e-vents... Whether your child is excited about music or has "dropped out" of music education, you'll want to join us on Monday, February 8 at 9:00 p.m. (ET), as Dr. Ian Hodge discusses the value and effect of music on education. Listen as he shares the ways in which music can enhance learning--and the ways exposure to the wrong types of music can actually disrupt a child's learning and growing process. Bring your questions and come prepared to explore world view issues relating to music, the Bible, and home education! Then, on Tuesday, February 9 at 12:00 p.m. (ET) and Thursday, February 11 at 3:00 p.m. (ET), join HSLDA attorney Mike Donnelly for his thoughts on time management and prioritization from his experiences as a father of six, army officer, entrepreneur, and company executive. You'll be encouraged and inspired to continue on your unique journey as a father. Today's father has limited hours to look after numerous concerns--including his family, work, and ministry. To manage an increasingly busy schedule, you've got to answer several big questions, such as "How can we fathers most effectively invest our time?" "Where can we invest it for eternal value?" New York members won't want to miss HSLDA's attorney for New York State, Thomas J. Schmidt, on Thursday, February 11 at 3:00 p.m. (ET), as he offers helpful information and advice to parents homeschooling their children in the Empire State. He will focus on quarterly reports and how to prepare for year-end annual assessments. If you have questions about quarterly reports, standardized tests or alternative written evaluations, this is the webinar for you!
