Co-op completed!
We have had a full week and it's only half over!
We wrapped up our first homeschool co-op today. We all took a breakfast dish this morning and enjoyed the fellowship of all the other families before 1st period classes. That was a lot of fun! Then we had a short class. I did a treasure hunt for my class (12 k-3rd students). It was cold and rainy outside, so we had to do our hunt inside. I hope we didn't disturb all the other classes too badly! The kids had fun and that's what matters! Then we all got certificates and had cake and ice cream after our 2nd period classes.
I feel like this first co-op was a great success. I know that I was blessed to be able to work with all the children in my pirate class. It won't be long and I'll start preparing for the next semester (two levels of hands-on science classes for me).
Carter really enjoyed co-op this semester. When we came home after classes today he played with some of his toys as if he was the teacher. First he taught them about pirates and then he held his own cooking class. I don't think we realize how much of an impression things can make on our kids!
This week we have also been to a soap class given by a mom in our homeschool group. I didn't know that Carter would like it because he usually doesn't get into crafty things. Well... he loved making soaps! It was so simple to do. We'll probably do it more at home now that we know how fun it is.
Now that we have a bit of a break from some of our other activities we will have time to slow down and enjoy the next few weeks of the holidays. It will be nice!
