February 26, 2009--Co-op building

Our homeschool co-op started up again a couple of weeks ago, in a new building. One of the families in our group decided to purchase a building for our group to use. It's a little further out than the other one, but since gas prices are so low right now it's not too bad.

This time around they decided to try something new and do a unit study on the continents. It's been interesting, although it's had it's share of challenges. For example, some of the teachers dropped out that had signed up to do certain things, and we ended up having to drop South America completely off the map.

I'm on the Australia team, and things have worked out fairly well for us, although the schedule they made up is really difficult to understand. Today I helped in the 3rd and 5th grade class (and took pictures) and then made peach melbas for the 4 and 5 year olds.

I thought I'd share a couple of pictures of our homeschool co-op.

Here are the 3rd and 5th graders learning about Kangaroos. There are 12 kids in this class--the second largest age group in our co-op.

Here they are again waiting for announcement. As you can see, they are perfectly normal kids

I had more that I wanted to share, but my camera seems to lose photos when I upload them for some reason. I'm not sure what's going on, but I'm missing several pictures that I took.
