Check out our first two Live @ 5 recordings. On July 1st we shared practical advice for homeschooling parents who are just starting out. On July 8th we explored learning styles, multiple intelligences and tips for setting up a learning co-op. Today, July 15th, we will learn about the I Can statements which provides grade level guides to facilitate your child's learning and we will talk some more about co-ops. We always share Inspire News at the beginning of each webinar. "See" you Monday Live @ 5!

As Inspire parents, we understand how helpful it would be to have all of the county's summer camps listed in one place. We have started gathering flyers for summer camps/courses our vendors are holding and put them all in one place for you here! You can click on the link to go straight to the vendor's website.

Don't see your favorite summer camp listed? You can email us to reach out to the vendor, or ask the vendor to email their flyer to us: shaemanique@inspireschools.org and ladan@inspireschools.org.

We’re so excited to welcome Academic Decathlon to CPA. Days and times of class meetings will be on the upcoming Fall 2019-20 CPA Course Catalog! See Academic Decathlon flyer for more information!

Keep the summer vibes going with another Inspire Summer Beach Day--We'll be hanging out in Crystal Cove for an afternoon of fun in the sun! Parking is $15 out of pocket, or free with the CA Explorer Pass, in the Los Trancos parking lot (on the inland side of PCH). Take the path that leads from the parking lot, through the tunnel under PCH, to the sands of the cove. You'll find us near the Historic District with the blue EZ Up with an Inspire banner. Make sure to bring your picnic, swimsuits, towels, and beach toys!

Tuesday, July 30th, 10 am - 2 pm

The best inventions are usually made by accident or created out of necessity. What would make your life easier or more interesting? Use your Think Box Inventors' Kit to get started! Some of your inventions may come out exactly as planned, others may turn out differently. The inventors of bubble wrap were initially trying to create a 3D plastic wallpaper. It did not turn out as intended, but it was certainly a success!

Highlights

• The Think Box Inventor's kit is great for the inventor on the go.
• The storage case is great for storing your components as well as your creations.
• This Think Box Inventor's kit comes with over 700 pieces to use along with everyday household items to create unique and useful inventions.

Price: $24.99 at Target
