First Day of Co-op!

We missed the first day of our homeschool co-op because we were away on vacation, so today was our official first day! We were all so excited. Here we are on the front porch with our backpacks, all ready to go!!

In my colonial America class we talked about American Indians and painted ears of corn. Here are a few of them drying. I love the variety that you see in a group class!
Our 8 year old, 7 year old, and 5 year old sons are all in my colonial America class, which makes it extra fun for me! Here is C showing off the ear of corn he painted.
Our daughter G proudly displaying the cards she made in card-making class. They are so good! Much better than cards I make. I think the student has become the teacher! :-)


Our co-op has a preschool for the younger siblings of students taking classes, and A is in preschool this year even though he is not yet 3. Playing in the nursery for 3 hours just did not float his boat, plus he's very verbal and used to being around older kids. It worked well today! Hopefully he will continue to participate well and follow directions. They made seed books in class today. Here he is showing off the seeds in his book.

Here is L showing the color wheel he made in art class.


And here is G displaying the model of the solar system he made today in his science class.

It is such a blessing to be able to get together with other homeschoolers and participate in larger group settings. We are so grateful for co-op!
