Educating for Eternity! TM

Dear Friends, Welcome to the Summer 2023 Catalog. This year marks our 30th year serving homeschooling families! We are filled with gratitude as we reflect on God’s gift of CHC’s family-to-family apostolate. What could be more fulfilling than to serve Catholic families with wholesome and engaging materials that educate for eternity? Thank you for your support and prayers over the years; we wouldn’t be here without YOU. We are thrilled to announce that we will be launching a new website this summer! The new site will be mobile friendly and will offer an even better shopping experience. On the new site you will be able to view hundreds and hundreds of sample pages—we've worked hard to prepare digital flipbooks for our titles so you can get an in-depth look at all our textbooks, workbooks, lesson plans, and religion resources. As with any major project, there are sure to be typos and minor errors on the site at first. Please let us know about any problems you notice (broken links, typos, inaccurate information) so we can get them fixed! You can email us directly at chc@chcweb.com . As always, remember that CHC is here for you. If you need support in your homeschooling adventure, we are here to help you. Your CHC Family

The Virtue Tree

Growing up to be a better person on the inside . . . A Hands-On Religion Resource for Seventh Grade

This character-building course is powerful! It contains easy-to understand lessons to encourage growth in virtue and follow-up “Good Ideas” to put into practice. This new, expanded edition is lavishly illustrated in full color and includes stories of the saints to reinforce the lessons in virtue. The Virtue Tree makes an excellent preparatory course before beginning formal Confirmation classes.

The Queen’s Good Works

God. She knew that Jesus became man in order to serve, and she sought to imitate Him. * * * How did Elizabeth become such an extraordinary person? Elizabeth had been born the daughter of the king of Hungary, and she had been promised in marriage to the future Landgrave Louis when she was only four years old. At that young age, she had left her family and home and traveled to Thuringia with many servants, attendants, and costly gifts, to be raised with Louis and to be trained to be the landgravine. Louis was 12 years old at the time, and the moment he first saw his serious, dark-haired future bride, he loved her. Elizabeth, for her part, loved the tall, blond, trustworthy, and courageous Louis. Whenever he was absent from her, he brought back a present for her—some gloves, a coral rosary, a seashell. She would wait for his return and run to him right away, and he would give her the gift he had for her. Then they would talk and talk. Elizabeth and Louis were best friends and called one another “sister” and “brother.” They grew up together. Louis grew into the ideal crusader knight: modest, patient, truthful, wise, reverent, prayerful, and trustworthy. His men trusted him and the people of the kingdom loved him. Elizabeth grew into the ideal virtuous lady: beautiful, modest, serious, kind in speech, generous to the poor, fervent in prayer, full of goodness and love of God. Many benefited from her kindness, even before she was grown. Many nobles at Wartburg Castle did not like Elizabeth because, even as a child, she was so kind and holy. When bouncing balls with her friends, she would bounce hers too far, always in the direction of the chapel. She did this so that she would have an excuse to disappear for a few 113

ST. ELIZABETH OF HUNGARY

NEW expanded edition!

Read the following story to see how Queen Elizabeth of Hungary practiced humility in caring for the poor.

L ong ago, during the winter of 1225, the German kingdom of Thuringia was in dire straits indeed. A terrible thing was happen ing, and it affected everyone, rich and poor, young and old alike. From the family of the landgrave, or king, high up in the Wartburg Castle, to the poorest family of serfs, everyone tried to find solutions to this terrible problem. Solutions were running out, though. What was this terrible problem? Famine! The crops that year had produced little food, and everyone was using up their stored grain. Soon supplies were running low, and people had less and less to eat. Because hunger had made the people weak, many of them became sick with smallpox, or as they called it, “the pest.” Men, women, and children all suffered. People in nearly every household sickened, and many died. Up in Wartburg Castle lived Elizabeth, their landgravine, or queen. During the time of the famine, Elizabeth’s husband, Louis, was away helping Frederick, the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire. Elizabeth was only 19 years old. What could she do to help the people of her kingdom?

Elizabeth was an extraordinary woman. She had been trained from the time that she was a small child to be the wife of the landgrave. She knew how to manage a large castle with dozens and dozens of people living and working in it; she also knew how to manage the kingdom itself when Louis was away. But Elizabeth was especially known for her holi ness and her kindness. This made the poor glad and the nobles uncomfortable. For in those days, peo ple were divided into four classes: the nobles, who owned most of the land and were extremely rich; the merchants and craftsmen, who sold goods and services; the peasants, who owned and worked small farms; and the serfs, who owned almost nothing but who farmed the land of the nobles in exchange for protection in time of war. The merchants, peasants, and serfs were forced to pay very high taxes to the nobles, who used this money to live in idle luxury. The nobles saw nothing wrong in this. They thought nothing of passing a sick or hungry per son on their way to church without helping him; somehow they thought that God was pleased with their prayers in church alone. Elizabeth instead believed that all people were equal in the eyes of

moments and pay Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament a Eucharistic visit. Sometimes, the chapel would be locked. At those times, Elizabeth would kiss the door, lock, and walls of the chapel in honor of the One who lived there. While feeding the poor at the castle gate one day, Elizabeth suddenly saw Jesus Himself standing in their midst. She fell to her knees. Jesus placed His hands on the poor around Him, and suddenly Elizabeth saw the face of Jesus in the face of each poor person. Elizabeth knew what Jesus was teaching her: she must see His face in the faces of all who suffered. She remembered this lesson well. Many nobles at the castle noticed Elizabeth’s love for prayer and for helping the poor, and they ridiculed her for this constantly. This was because they wanted to live their lives of vanity and luxury without their consciences bothering them. Elizabeth’s conduct reminded them that they, too, should be spending time in prayer and serving the poor. Many of them tried to persuade Louis to send Elizabeth back to Hungary. “She is an unsuitable bride for you,” they said to him.

PARENT RESOURCES

CHC Daily Lesson Plans for Grades PreK–8 CHC Lesson Plans offer detailed guidance along with flexibility! Public schools, private schools, and very structured home study schools often tailor the family to fit the studies; CHC Lesson Plans give parents the freedom to tailor the studies to fit the family. Thanks to the clarity of the weekly guides and daily plans, lessons can instantly be pared down to an academically excellent core in times of family overload, or expanded with enrichment activities and electives to fit the family budget and student’s interests. From Preschool to Fourth Grade, CHC lesson plans are based on a four-day week, with Wednesdays left open. This weekly “flex-day” can be used for extra-curricular activities, Mass attendance, or appointments. The student’s workload gradually increases in the middle school years, so beginning in Fifth Grade, CHC lesson plans follow a five-day week. Each lesson plan includes: • Scope and sequence for the year • Subject guide • Typical Course of Study • Weekly goals and checklists • Daily lesson plans on a two-page-per-week grid • Achievement record and certificate Daily lesson plans for PreK–8th grades. 102–174 pages each. Loose-leaf, 3-hole drilled. See pages 8–17 for more details. LP $28.95

HIGH SCHOOL OF YOUR DREAMS

by Nancy Nicholson

High School of Your Dreams Guidebook High School of Your Dreams was developed by Nancy Nicholson as a guide to designing a high school curriculum that fits your student’s unique learning style, interests, and possible career goals. The High School of Your Dreams Guidebook introduces three basic approaches to high school: 1. College Track: Flexible Textbook Approach; 2. Community College/Vocational School: Independent Study Approach; 3. Apprenticeship/School-to-Work: Experiential Approach A two-part Student Profile, one part answered by the student, one part by the parent, gauges the student’s interests and aptitudes and is followed by a guide to interpreting the results. The Guidebook then proceeds to developing a tentative four-year plan, choosing core and elective subjects, deciding which materials the student will use to learn those subjects, and creating a lesson plan for the materials. The Guidebook also covers the following general topics about homeschooling through high school: what is necessary for a homeschooled student to enter college; converting homeschool study time into standard high school credit hours; creating a high school transcript; discerning career paths; and incorporating volunteering and other types of experiential learning into a high school curriculum. Includes reproducible blank forms and charts ( From Freshman to Graduate Chart , Class Lesson Plan Form, Monthly Hours Chart, Academic Transcript , and Diploma ). 186 pgs. 2019 Revised Edition. 8½"×11" Loose-leaf, 3-hole drilled. HSYD-GB $24.95 A resource to help homeschool families design and implement their own, personalized high school programs

Step 4

Explore Your Career Interests You are almost ready to plan your high school curriculum. Before you can decide how you will gain credit for English, which text or DVD series you will use for history, and whether or not you will study chemistry at your commu nity college, you need to have some idea of what your vocational and/or career goals are. For instance, if you are interested in going into the field of aeronautics, you will need to take more math and science classes than someone who is interested in journalism, but you prob

electronics engineer, broadcast technician, etc.). Take particular notice of what post-high school education is required for the

careers that interest you. You might be surprised to learn, for example, that someone who is interested in a degree in Environmental Sciences will need to take Zoology, Biology, Algebra, Chemistry, and Technical Drafting in college, and that Psychology and Biology are required subjects in college for those pursuing a degree in Criminal Justice. Knowing something of the educational requirements in your chosen field and including some or all of those classes as core subjects at the high school level considerably boosts performance in post-high school studies. If you are considering an apprenticeship in a particular profession, locate and contact someone practicing that profession. Arrange for a personal or telephone interview to learn what educational requirements are necessary to the profession; the information may also be obtained through an internet search. One might note, for example, that carpenters and electricians need math and science skills. This knowledge will be helpful when planning your high school curriculum. Where Can I Find Out More about Degrees or Training Programs for These Fields? For more information, type the degree desired followed by a career field in the internet search box, e.g., “associate’s degree veterinary technician”; “bachelor’s degree epidemiolo gist”; “master’s degree social worker.”

ably will not do as much creative writing. With your parent, look over the descriptions of possible careers found on the following pages. Based on the results of your Student Profile, select the careers that best fit your interests and abilities. Begin by choosing five careers that catch your interest; find out more about what type of experiences and work are involved in these careers. Now narrow your list of five to the two careers that most interest you. Research to find out which classes and steps would be required to enter these fields. Because most students possess more than one potential career interest or skill set, it is recommended to explore at least two different careers. For instance, Jeff loves to hike and has enjoyed taking First Aid. He decides to learn more about careers in forestry and the medical field. When you have selected the careers which best fit your abilities and goals, explore them with your parent. Which of the careers/ vocations described can you imagine pursuing after you graduate from high school? Research the various “Related Fields” to see if any of them interest you more than others (for instance, Electronics: avionic electronics,

Step 4: Explore Your Career Interests

Core Subjects: Language Arts How will you complete your core requirements in the language arts? Study the list of possible courses below, then read more about each course on the following pages. Select the courses that most closely align with your career and educational goals. Then write down your ideas in the spaces below.

Standard requirements: • English: 4 years/credits • Speech: ½ year/credit Requirements in your state: • English: years/credits • Speech: year/credit College requirements: • English: 4 years/credits, including Grammar, Literature, and Composition • Foreign Language: 3 or 4 years/credits, with a strong focus in at least one language • Speech: ½ year/credit
