A is for Apple

This morning was the first meeting of our new homeschool co-op. We have 4 families, 14 children, divided into a young 5's class and an IEW writing class for the 4th, 5th, and 7th graders. We are taking turns meeting in each other's homes, and this month the co-op is meeting at our house. We had a blast! I am the teacher of the young 5's class this month, and today we learned all about the letter "A".


We made applesauce.

And painted with apples.


We had recess!



And learned how to write the letter A.


Little Man and his BFF checked out the writing class through the kitty door.


And our two littlest ones, ages 2 and 3, participated at their own special table.


Meanwhile, down in the schoolroom, the writing class watched a lesson on dvd and then began working on their own key word outlines.


It was a very fun and productive morning. Though we miss the people at our old (much bigger) co-op, we are going to love our new co-op!
