On the first Saturday of each month, Home Depot offers the same sort of workshop between 9 a.m. and noon. (It only lasts that long if there's enough interest.)
These are free programs and great for both genders. Free aprons and eye protection are usually included and available for take-home. Certificates are personalized and offered at the end for successful completion of the project. Lowe's gives a patch and a sticker. Home Depot gives a pin for clothing. These are fun to collect and/or scrapbook. Take your camera . . . it's a hoot! Take advantage of it!
On the second Saturday of each month, Lowe's hosts a building workshop for children, free of charge. I believe it starts at 10 a.m. and lasts one-hour.

The August 7th Trail Watch Volunteer Training is being held at the Elena Gallegos Picnic Area from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm
I will be offering group lessons for homeschooled children 6 and up on Thursdays at 1:30pm starting September 2nd. If there is sufficient interest, other time slots may become available.
I will be holding a free introductory session to talk about Simply Music and special discount offer for this group lesson. The introductory session will be held 1:30pm, Thursday August 19th at 735 Mark Dr NE, Albuquerque.
Please email me and let me know how many people are coming so I can reserve seats for you (or call me at 453-8210). I understand for some families distance may be a consideration, I would still highly recommend that you come by the introductory session and find out how revolutionary Simply Music is compared to traditional lessons as additional travel time can easily be offset by the quick success of your student.

What is Brain Education (BE)? Do you want these things for your children?:
more energy and stamina less fatigue reduced stress perception fewer physical symptoms improved digestion Emotional well-being and social interactions
enhanced confidence and self-esteem more calm greater consideration for others more harmonious connections to peers, teachers, and parents greater enjoyment of everyday activities Cognitive functions and learning
improved attention and concentration better memory deeper intuition expanded imagination and creativity
The BE approach is deeply experiential. Students directly participate in exercises designed to improve sensory awareness, motor control, balance, emotional regulation, attention, and imagination.
Studies of Brain Education for Enhanced Learning have found that the program promotes behavioral, emotional, and cognitive improvements, including positive effects on learning efficiency, multiple intelligences, emotional intelligence, and stress coping strategies. Following are summaries of three studies that used a control-group design. Please visit powerbrainedu.com for more information!
We are having a workshop to teach Brain Education to anyone who is interested in learning how to use the full potential of their brain as well as use this program to teach in any classroom! We believe Brain Education will completely turn our education system around!
Please let me know if you are interested! Stay tuned for the official Brain Education Workshop poster to be posted to this forum!
