We have joined a Homeschool Co-op this year that has been an amazing experience!
It is called SHARP Co-op.
We meet every Monday for 10 weeks in the fall, and again in the spring.
There are 3 class periods, and then we have lunch.
Between my 6 kids, they are taking 11 different classes outside of our normal homeschool day at home. It's great for them to learn things that I might not be able to teach them at home!
Madelyn is taking 'The Art of Science' class, which has been so much fun for her!
(Art of Science)
Morgan and I are teacher's aids in this class too.
So much fun learning science and art together!
Ashlyn & Madelyn are both taking 'My Amazing Body'
In this class they are learning so much about how the body works!
And doing some fun hands on activities with it as well.
I am teaching the 'Knights and Castles' class.
It's been a lot of fun.
We've made our own castles.
Shields-with their own 'Coat of Arms' on them...
Read some fun books, made Robin Hood hats.
Built catapults, and done lots of other fun hands on activities!
Morgan & Ronan are both taking 'Ready, Aim, Fire!'
They are building small weapons out of household items.
Something Ronan is pretty excited about!
Cake Decorating class!
Morgan & Ronan are both taking this class together as well.
Duncan is enjoying Science Workshop!
And 'Math is a Game'!
Ashlyn & Madelyn are both taking ABC Yoga.
A big highlight of their Monday mornings!
Hayden is taking Cultural Anthropology & Medieval History.
When classes are done, we get the tables out and have lunch with our friends!
This is something both moms and the kids enjoy.
And then they head outside for some play!
We are so lucky to have a location that has some play equipment.
As well as just space for the kids to run around.
During/after lunch the teens get together in a classroom for some game time.
Or just to 'hang out'.
We have been so blessed to be a part of this co-op!
It is great for learning & fun!
