Christian Homeschooling Seminar
Saturday, April 28, 2012 from 5-6:30 pm
 "The Importance of the Arts in Your Homeschool!"How to develop the skills necessary for preparing your child to stand out in the 21st century.
Our schools have focused on teaching children what to think, rather than how to think. An entire generation has been spoon fed what to know, but not how to ponder, problem solve, or invent. As a result, we have a whole generation within the workforce that lacks innovation.
Donna Bixby saw this same pattern developing with one of her sons in her own homeschool until he saw a live performing arts show.
The live interaction sparked conversation that opened a path into the right side of his brain that her academic curriculum had
not tapped into. She realized that though her son was not artistically inclined in the traditional sense, the performing arts
presented opportunities to help him develop his cognitive thinking skills.
Come and learn from Donna how you can incorporate the arts into your child's education and equip them to become innovators for the 21st century.
Donna will also briefly share the main highlights of her 16 year journey showing how God has been faithful to lead
her through.
You will learn:
- How to homeschooling a young learner in order to help your child think outside the box,
- How your child's brain works and what to do to help him/her develop cognitive skills,
- What to do to preparing your child for the working world through interaction with the arts, and
- About the Bixby Educational Events and Donna's experiences and successes with
the arts.
Donna and her husband of 20 years, Kevin, have homeschooled their two boys since 1996.
They started B.E.E. to be a resource for other home educating families as well as providing opportunities for parents to expose their
children to the live performing arts. Donna is the founder and president of Bixby Educational Events, Inc. (B.E.E.) an educational
nonprofit seeking to keep the arts accessible, available, and affordable to the home school community.
