Make memory happen in your home.
When our kids don’t remember their memory work, we can be discouraged.
Whether it’s a method failure, a consistency problem, or a misunderstanding, this event will help you troubleshoot your memory issues and make lasting change in your homeschool.
Apply a classical approach to memory in your homeschool.
“Without memory, there is no education.” -Hugh of St. Victor (medieval educator)
A professional development day for homeschool moms.
from a local hostess
Memory is vital in our homeschools.
But there’s no one Right way to do it.
what we believe about memory and education –
1
WE NEED TO REMEMBER WHAT WE’VE LEARNED.
Memory is about more than recitation. An exercised memory is needed to remember, and if you can’t remember something, you don’t really know it.
2
WE NEED TO REPEAT WITHOUT BEING BORING.
Memorization requires repetition, which can become boring. We need ways to review that keep everyone engaged.
3
WE NEED TO RELATE CONTENT TO REAL LIFE.
Our brains remember things when connections are fostered. Memory needs more than repeating words. It needs connection to real life.

Introducing
HOMESCHOOL ESSENTIALS:
MEMORY
We can become easily frustrated by how time crawls and how time flies while we are at home with our kids. However, time is the stuff life is made of and we must learn to invest it wisely. In these retreat sessions we talk about structuring homeschool days, homeschooling well even with the last children, and many more practical, needed topics on time management for homeschool moms.

No. We’re not actually sisters.
Hi! We’re the Scholé Sisters.
Like you, we homeschool our children for better or for worse
We all have struggled feeling like our abilities did not match up to our vocation as a homeschool mom. We have hard and rough days that include yelling, huffy comments, and messy houses. We can cry about that (and sometimes we do). Or, we can laugh. We think we should choose laughter more often.
Homeschooling well can be an overwhelming and lonely task. We will give you practical help to make it less overwhelming and connect you with sisters who can relate to what you are going through and who will help you grow in love of God, your family, and wisdom as you do.
Time is ticking away
Here is what we cover…
#1
Memory: What counts?
Of course we’re using and developing our memory when we can recall and recite beautiful language, but there’s so much more to memory than memory work. In this session, Brandy, Mystie, Pam, and Abby will discuss how memory is integral to the entire curriculum.
#2
Memory: Why do it?
The benefits of memorization and of remembrance extend into all of life. From brain elasticity to cultural preservation, Brandy, Mystie, Pam, and Abby will share not only what research says about memory, but also about the effects they’ve seen in their own homeschooled students.
#3
Memory: How to do it.
The same principle can be applied in a variety of ways and rarely looks the same across families. During this session Pam, Brandy, Mystie, and Abby will share what they have done, what has and has not worked, curricula they have loved, and tips and tricks they’ve picked up over the years.
#4
Memory: What to memorize.
Whether you need help narrowing down what to start with for first graders or how to change things up to keep it relevant with teens, Brandy, Mystie, Abby, and Pam will walk through the stages of education, spotlighting the best practices and priorities in each stage. More than a list to memorize, they will show how memory is always in play.
INVIte some friends and make it a real retreat
Pull your local moms together for a fun, easy teacher in-service community day.
GEt the deets on how easy we make hosting a local community day!
“Thank you for a lovely and refreshing retreat!”
— Rachel M.
We want local connections and face-to-face discussion to be easy for you to do.
If you want to plan a local “teacher’s inservice day” for your own homeschool community at a local church, library, home, conference room, other retreat venue, or virtually – we’ll help you make it a day to remember.
Your local retreat gathering can happen anytime with the recordings on your own time table.
Your local attendees will only pay $25 to attend (plus food costs if you do a catered meal), scoring a $13 discount off the regular price AND still receiving the replay recordings after the group invoice is paid. Part of that $25 will reimburse your own hostess kit cost and we will invoice you for $22/person after you submit a photo of your registration sheet (provided in the kit).
PLUS, as a hostess, you’ll be invited into the Local Leaders Sistership Group with dozens of other local hostesses, several of whom have done events for 5+ years now.
Use this Homeschool Essentials Retreat as an excuse to gather homeschool moms together and foster meaningful connections and relationships. We make it easy, promise.
