Cherub 1, Cherub 2, Cherub 3, Cherub 4, and Cherub 5 attending the Physical Fitness & Good Health class at CoOp on Friday.
Cherub 6 painting with Tempras during his Art Class on Friday -- and using unorthodox tools to texturize his "Masterpiece" (the plastic cup). This "Work" was an alien with invisible eyes.
At the very beginning of our homeschooling adventure, we took some CoOp type classes. But since then, we have never taken any more. It was just counter productive that particular year.
But this semester the children thought it might be fun to take a few classes with other homeschoolers. So we looked at the list of class offerings and picked some things that interested us.
So the five "big" Cherubs will take Health & Physical Fitness together, which focuses on healthy eating and healthy life-habits like good exercise. And while they are taking that class, Cherub 6 is taking an Art class where he will get to paint and play with clay and such other fun "messy" activities. Then, after the first class, all 6 Cherubs are taking Beginner Level Clogging. This was a class they thought would be "fun"; just a new experience. Apparently God gifted our family with bright minds, but He did not think that we needed a helping of rhythm, nor did He apparently think we needed a bit more coordination. (KIDDING !! Ha !! Ha !!) So the clogging class was quite an experience, but it was enjoyed by each of the 6 Cherubs who are enrolled.
During these classes, we met several homeschooling families - so that was nice too !!
Our lesson plans are set up so as to allow a "light" schedule on Fridays, so as not to make Fridays awful. We will go to our classes in the morning, and then at lunchtime will come home and have lunch, and then we will work through some schoolwork in the afternoon. On Fridays we only have core-academics to do .... Math, Reading, Penmanship, Phonics or Grammar, and Spelling. So Fridays should go smoothly.
(I did not get any photos of the clogging class - will try to take some next week.)
