Yesterday our co-op started the winter term! We made a 45 minute drive to meet at the home of one of our group members. Beautiful drive- ponds, green, horses, more ponds, more green, river, etc.
Our numbers have dwindled slightly, so instead of offering two classes an hour that the children can choose from, we have 3 40 minute classes that they all attend.
So Jeffrey's age group (6 boys and 1 girl) studied geography (Greece was the theme for yesterday), human body (the class I'm teaching and SUPER excited about), and civil war (lots of neat local field trip opportunities).
Brooklynn's age group (5 girls- she's in HEAVEN) read books and studied the human body and played games.
January is our family's month to be in charge of games so we played "Head's Up 7 Up" (a traditional game all the parents played growing up in public school- the kids had never played before and had a great time), "Telephone", and "Sausage" (the person in the middle can only answer 'sausage' to any question the group asks him. The person who gets him to laugh is the next person it.)
