Riverside County Families
Week of January 28th - February 3rd, 2019
Hello Riverside County Families!
The first semester is over and we are half way through the school year! How are all of you doing? We know how tough the day-to-day homeschool life can be. What is your lifeline? How do you keep going when it gets hard or when you feel like you don't have the time to do laundry and check off all the boxes on your lists? We want to encourage you to build up your own tribe of homeschool parent help! Grab a friend and a cup of coffee, let the kids run free at the park and you relax, chat, vent, and seek wisdom. Don't try to walk this road alone. Find a friend and join in on each other's homeschool journey!
In this week's newsletter, we have a 'Curriculum Spotlight' on Film School 4 Kids . Our 'Vendor Spotlight' is on WM Music. Make sure to read about both in this edition.
Also, be sure to check out Inspiration Station.
It is filled with so many amazing field trips designed by our HSTs and Liaisons just for you! Scroll through every so often so that you can see all that is being offered throughout Southern California!
Please reach out anytime and get to know us!
We are so happy to answer all of your questions and guide you through
learning about homeschool philosophy, curriculum, and the homeschool lifestyle!
Don't let yourself drown in worry or fear over homeschooling.
If you find yourself there, reach out!
We are hoping to connect with you soon!
Audrey & Candice
Your Inspire Riverside County Team!
Your Riverside County Homeschool Teachers and Family Liaisons are always here for you! Reach out to your HST or Family Liaison for support, advice, and connections with the homeschool community around you!
Look how we've grown since August!
Announcing Our Riverside County First Annual Spelling Bee Winner!
Congratulations! Eliza will go on to represent Inspire Charter School In the Riverside County Spelling Bee in March. The winner from that bee will advance to The Scripps National Spelling Bee in May.
Great News for Readers!
Accelerated Reader (AR) is a computer program that helps parents manage and monitor children’s independent reading practice. Your child selects a book rather than having one assigned to them and reads it at their own pace. This makes reading a much more enjoyable experience as they can choose books that are interesting to them. They may also read articles of interest right on the screen. When finished, your child will take a short quiz on the computer. (Passing the quiz is an indication that your child understood what was read.) In addition, when an LP meeting comes up, you can easily print up the list of books that your child read and share it with your HST.
If you are interested in signing up for Accelerated Reader, please let your HST know, they will be happy to assist you.

Audrey Everson
Hi everyone! I am a mom of 3 awesome kids ranging in age from 10 to 6 years old. My husband and I are high school sweethearts and have been married for 16 years. Having homeschooled our children over the last 6 years in 3 different states, I've found homeschooling here in California, especially with Inspire Charter, has been a great fit for our homeschool journey. I am grateful for our ability to homeschool so freely and I aspire to assist other families with their own homeschool adventures!
