Wednesday was our first Co-op day. Mavster's classes are Drawing, Woodworking, and P.E. As a parent, I will be assisting with Cooking, HS Science, and P.E. We both had a very busy day. His favorite was making his own wooden tool box! He said he will not carry a back pack again, but instead carry around his tool box with his hammer & glue. Very cute.
The Co-Op meets once a week at a local church -and I was surprised how many different classrooms there were! Even upstairs! It is a perfect location for the co-op, and all of the parents I met were wonderful.
Another parent that was assisting with PE said that he was also homeschooling for the first time. Apparently, his local middle school sent a letter to all residents/parents that since the middle school had an "unacceptable" rating, that they would give anyone that wanted it a "voucher" for another middle school in the area, but unfortunately, there is not one in their town. He figured he could give his kids a better chance by homeschooling, and so far it is working out better than he expected! Lots of reasons to homeschool, all valid. These kids are so blessed to be able to have their parents working with them one on one so much.
