Rep Convention Report

A week and a half ago the Math-U-See reps congregated at Sandy Cove in Maryland. We had fun, played disc golf, ate good food, went hiking and occasionally talked about business stuff :-)

Here are some pictures so you can see how much fun we had. We have been truly blessed to have such wonderful people representing Math-U-See. These are the folks you talk to on the phone and chat with at your local homeschool convention and they do an awesome job.

Recognize anybody? Leave them a comment :-)

p.s. interested in Sandy Cove? They are having a Winter homeschooling Recharge in Jan of 2009, check it out.

Anna, over at Just to name a few, wrote a great blog post about the St. Louis Homeschool Convention. I’ve copied a few excepts but you can click here to read the full post.Excerpt #1

This last weekend I attended the St. Louis Homeschool EXPO I took the kids with me on Friday and they attended a kids expo where they played and made crafts and sang songs and watched puppets and did all sorts of things.The absolute highlight of the day, for my kids especially, was getting to meet Mr. Steve. Mr. Steve is actually Mr. Steve Demme, who is the founder of Math U See, the math curriculum we use. My kids LOVE Mr. Steve. The program comes with DVDs that Mr. Steve actually teaches on. The idea is that you watch the DVD and then do the book/block work, so my kids see Mr. Steve pretty regularly, and are always thrilled to see his smiling face on their TV.  

Excerpt # 2

I finally gathered my children and all the paraphernalia that I was carrying around and said our goodbyes. We headed outside to walk to our car and The Girl looked up at me and said, “I didn’t realize that he was a real person!” I could do nothing but laugh.Today she drew a picture of Mr. Steve and Ethan swinging her through the air. I let her know that we would send it off to him. He will be getting fan mail from my kids, I bet he hadn’t planned on that when he wrote his math curriculum.
