Park Day Tuesday...

Hi All:

There are a bunch of us Kelowna homelearners coming to Vernon tomorrow for a visit to the Science Centre. We will be finished at the Science Centre at 2 and some of us are planning to head over to the playground at Poulson Park then. We would love for lots of you Vernon families to join us there. For the next couple of months we will be meeting every 2nd and 4th Tuesday afternoons at the Science Centre. We could make it a regular park day afterwards if some of you would like to join us.

Hike Tomorrow

Just a reminder that we've been invited to meet up with the Kelowna homeschoolers tomorrow to play and hike together.

When: Wednesday, May 21, at 1:00 pm, begin hike at 1:30

Where: Jack Seaton Park, which is towards Okanagan Lake in Winfield. I haven't been there, but from this map (click to see, it's the green splotch between the 10 and the 3) it looks like going South (coming from Vernon) I'd turn right onto Berry Road (right before the shopping centre), right again (North) onto Okanagan Centre Road East, then left or West on Camp Road which takes you to the entrance of the park. There's probably a better way to get there, and if anyone knows one, please leave directions in the comments!

Hope it's not raining too hard and hope to see everyone there.

Next Meeting and Park Day??

Hi everyone,
Just a reminder that our next parent support meeting will be at Bean To Cup at 7pm on the 24th (Thurs). Everyone welcome! Even people who are just wondering about the possibility of homeschooling!
Also, we'd briefly discussed setting up a weekly play-day but didn't come up with a definite time or place. Any suggestions?
Do Wednesdays 11-ish til 3-ish (come when it works, leave when you're through) at Lakeview Park work for anyone? Or while it's still cool would people rather meet for hikes at Kal Park?
Any thoughts?

New Info about Yoga -- input needed

I got this email from Terryn:

Unfortunately, a colleague at work has resigned and I have taken on more hours to help with the extra load over summer.This means that I don't have any certain morning off.However, if you are still thinking of summer yoga, just let me know and I will do my best to make it happen.In September, I have been offered to teach classes in Lake Country so I will teach 3 classes every Tuesday night.I would like to honor my committment and continue to teach in Vernon also, I am just working out which day and what time.I would love input from the homeschoolers. Is 12:00 the best time? Is there a best day?Did the 6 week session work best? or 8 weeks? Would offering it once in the fall and then spring be better or was continuous a good fit?I know that attendance started to drop off towards summer.I am here until the end of October so I would like to start one right in September and then I am away until December so I would probably offer it again in January.That is what I am thinking. Any input would be great!Thank you so much Mary-Sue!

Tuesday Park Day

**BRING YOUR OWN YOGA MAT OR BLANKET AND WATER**
NO YOGA ON TUESDAY. TOO WET.
Last Edit: I'm with Julie. I need more predictability than this. The forecast still looks like rain on Tuesday morning, and if it doesn't, the ground will be very wet. I'm thinking we should postpone to Wednesday or Friday. Friday looks better as far as weather goes, any thoughts?
Later Edit: Terryn will meet us at the park on Tues. morning if it's not raining. We will start right at 10:30 as she has to leave an hour later. If it's raining, our options are Wednesday at 11:20 or Friday at 10:20. Which can you make it to? We can make it to either.
Edit:I have confirmed with Terryn. She's excited to join us BUT the weather forecast is 90% chance of rain on Tuesday. What do you think we should do? Is there another day when more of us could meet for yoga? Shall I ask her what other mornings she would be available? Are there any mornings that DON'T work? Ange, could your girls come join us?
Looking for input...

Hello
It seems we've settled into Tuesday being our park day and we've been meeting at Polson Park sometime around 11, bringing snacks. So far that seems to be working well. We will consider a Park move after the end of June.
Would anyone like Terryn to join us next Tuesday for an hour of yoga? She only has between 10:30 and 11:30 free, but is keen to lead us if we're interested. 'Twould be $5 per person, and not necessary to have done any previous yoga.
Comments please.
Thanks!

Tuesday = Park Day

Hi everyone Was wondering if we should try Polson again for a play tomorrow? It's just so central and easy for everyone to get to. What do you think?

My Grandma isn't doing very well and I need to go visit her in Kelowna tomorrow so not sure of our plans yet for tomorrow. Might head to Kelowna first thing and stop by the park on our way home. Is anyone else planning to meet up at the park?

Tuesday = Park Day

Thanks, Jill, for attempting to find a park that works for ALL of us. Alas! It doesn't seem like it's going to be quite that easy... So how about trying out a few to find which one works the best?
First up is Polson Park, the most central, the one not perched up on a hill somewhere...
We'll plan to converge there TOMORROW (Tuesday, the 24th) somewhere around 10:30-ish? Bring your own lunch. Hope to see everyone there!
