Welcome!

The fall's courses for a Kindergarten - 3rd grade group is so great. But most of all I am excited about the Science class. We are studying from Harcourt Science text books at home and the students are completing the hands on experiments at co-op! Katie is the hard working mom who has stepped up to the challenge for this great course.

To start the year, we went on a field trip to All-A-Flutter Butterfly Farm and brought home monarch caterpillars to watch grow. Most recently, the students were learning about plants growing and what is needed to help the plants grow and be healthy, like air water and nutrients.

My next favorite course for this age group is the Tour A Continent class. All the moms are taking turns to lead this group, one per month. Definetly what being in a co-op is all about! Sharing the work and the fun.

The older classes are getting to learn some neat things too. But I should save something for another post!
