A Cozy Gathering for Homeschool Parents
2025-10-13 19:00 - 20:30 (America/Los_Angeles) | Online
As the leaves begin to turn and the rhythm of fall settles in, we’re thrilled to invite our homeschool parent community to join us for a special Members-Only October Book Club—a space to connect, reflect, and grow together. To become a member, please go here: https://californiahomeschool.net/product/membership/
This month’s selection is The Successful Homeschool Family Handbook by Dr. Raymond and Dorothy Moore—a trusted guide that has empowered thousands of families to embrace a more relaxed, joyful, and effective approach to homeschooling. Whether you’re just starting your journey or have years of experience, this book offers practical wisdom, encouragement, and a refreshing perspective on what truly matters in home education.
Why Join Us?

Enjoy meaningful, open discussion in a small, supportive group
Explore ideas that challenge the pressure of “doing it all”
Share your own experiences and learn from others
Build deeper connections with fellow members

Book Club Begins: October 6th at 7pm for roughly 1½ hours and will continue every Monday until the middle of November. Spots are limited to keep the conversation intimate—RSVP by October 4th to secure your place! Be sure to order your copy early so you’re ready to dive in.
Not yet a member? This is the perfect time to join and be part of something enriching. Membership opens the door to exclusive gatherings like this one—and we’d love to welcome you in.
Let’s turn the page together this October!
Workshops are interactive and attendee participation is encouraged. These are small group workshops, which will not be recorded, but video and microphone are required for participation.

Homeschooling Q & As
2025-10-07 19:00 - 20:00 | Online
Homeschool Curious? Confused? Just Need to Vent? Join our Homeschooling Q&A Zoom Session—where questions are always welcome, curiosity is celebrated, and “silly” questions simply don’t exist (we prefer to call them brilliantly brave).
Whether you’re wondering how to teach fractions without tears, or just need reassurance that your living room counts as a classroom—this is your space.
New homeschoolers, seasoned veterans, and everyone in between—come hang out, ask away, and leave feeling a little more confident (and a lot more supported).
It’s casual, it’s comfy, and yes—lounging while eating a bag of chips is totally acceptable.
Workshops are online through Zoom and are interactive. Attendee participation is encouraged. These are small group workshops, which will not be recorded, but video and microphone are required for participation. Because these are small groups, register by the dates shown on the calendar of events or the zoom registration page to ensure your spot.

Join us for our November CHN Park Day as we celebrate All Things Pumpkin! Each park day may look a little different depending on the host and location.
We’ll have pumpkin-themed games, crafts, and activities for all ages — from silly pumpkin bowling and pumpkin tic-tac-toe for little ones to pumpkin candy hunts and pumpkin balancing relay races that get progressively harder the older you are!
Bring your favorite pumpkin treat to share (pumpkin bread, seeds, or pie — we love it all!) and enjoy an afternoon of community, laughter, and autumn cheer.
Engage together in fun fall crafts like: Beaded pumpkins, tissue paper poppies, or pumpkin seed mosaics!
Guess the pumpkin weight and Take Your Pic fall photo booth are more examples of some activities you might find this month, so don’t miss out.
Bring a blanket or chair, a snack to share if you’d like, and your smiles! Remember that Park Day festivities vary by host and location, but the positive friendly atmosphere is always the same!
Whether you’re new to CHN or a familiar face, this is a perfect day to connect, play, and celebrate the season together.
We can’t wait to see you there!
