Heart of the Matter Online Conferences
Heart of the Matter Online Conferences is donating tickets to the 2010 Heart of the Matter Online Refresher Conference to the winners in all categories.
You will receive free entry to the 2010 HOTM Homeschool Refresher Conference. Heart of the Matter Online/Parenting and Home Education Conference and Homeschool Refresher Conference was the fulfillment of a vision given to a pair of Amies years ago but that wouldn’t begin to be fulfilled until August of 2007. They had a desire to do more for the online homeschooling community and as they prayed, God began to bless every aspect of their ministry. Heart of the Matter Online was born on January 8, 2008, and with that an online magazine just for parents and home educators. Then, the first Parenting and Home Education Conference in 2008 was successful beyond their wildest imaginations. So many received help and comfort, practical ideas and tips, and were revived to continue to do the task God has called us to do. We pray that this Homeschool Refresher conference will have the same impact but even greater. The heart of this ministry is to bridge the gap between the child and the parent, a relationship designed by God. We hope to accomplish this by presenting you with motivational speakers, encouragement and fellowship from “real” parents, and practical resources so that the parents can take 100% control of their child’s education.
HEXBUG Nano
Three winners (to be determined) will receive THREE HEXBUG Nano Micro Robotic Creatures! Value: $7.99 each.

Powered by a tiny motor, and 12 fixed, angular legs, the industrious critter traverses the ground beneath it and quickly navigates through the most complex mazes. Possessing an uncanny sense of balance, it can even flip to its feet and zoom forward when turned on its back! When coming into contact with an object in its path, the energetic insect will switch directions and scurry away on a new path due to its persistent random behavior. HEXBUG Nano fanatics interested in the lore of science and discovery can visit www.handandstars.com to earn points by answering science quiz questions, register their collection using the unique serial numbers included inside each test tube style package, and achieve global status and prestige in an online game that requires players to use scientific principles to build their own virtual Nano.

Heart of Wisdom
One winner (to be determined) will receive a copy of “Heart of Wisdom Teaching Approach” and “What Your Child Needs to Know When” - both by Robin Sampson. Combined Value of $59.89.
Book descriptions:
Heart of Wisdom Teaching Approach:
The Heart of Wisdom Teaching Approach is for all homeschoolers that want to make the Bible the center of their school day. This giant provides you with the methods, program, and resources for a course of study where students spend half the school day studying God’s Word and the other half studying God’s world (academics). Students study history chronologically and science in the order of the days of creation. This book will encourage, motivate you and instruct you, step by step, how to give your child a Bible focused, comprehensive education from preschool through high school; one that will train him or her to read, to study, to understand, to love to learn and most importantly to desire and seek true wisdom. This approach can be used for all grade levels.What Your Child Needs to Know When:
Concerned homeschooling parents are always asking “Am I doing enough?” This book answers this question and includes the checklists for academic evaluation for each grade K-8 and much more. Robin explains our children need to obtain academic knowledge, but, more importantly, they need to acquire the wisdom to know how to use the knowledge!“You may be interested in this book because it includes the state standards but you will come away from it inspired to rely on God’s standards!”
Academic standards should not be separated from spiritual standards! We need to teach the whole child according to the child’s individual God-given gifts. True wisdom progresses beyond intellectual pursuit; it is practical. The goals outlined in this book will help you prepare, teach, and evaluate your children from a Biblical world view. It will also advise you in helping them become self-motivated, lifelong learners.

Each of the thirty workbook lessons in the student guide includes famous quotes, a drill of key people and places, ten vocabulary words, 5-10 comprehension questions per lesson, and an activities section that includes map work, timelines, discussion questions, and art projects.
First Form Latin set:
Based on twenty years of teaching experience, this revolutionary “grammar-first” series will be your guide as you and your students successfully climb the mountain of Latin Grammar all the way to the top! The uniqueness of the First Form Series lies in two features: 1) It is committed to the trivium model of teaching grammar systematically in order to facilitate retention and understanding, rather than topically, to facilitate translation. 2) Extensive workbook exercises ensure skills mastery and rapid recognition of inflected forms. First Form is the ideal text for all beginners, grades 5 & up, or is a great follow-up to Latina Christiana I at any age. Now every school and homeschool can have a truly successful Latin program that creates Latin scholars rather than Latin drop-outs.
