Home School Co-op

Back in January we joined the Bristol Christian home educators group. One of the opportunities they offer is a co-op that meets once a week at a community center. We have morning assembly, and then the kids break up into age groups and go off to their classes. Nathanael and Elliot are in the youngest group, there are 6 of them all together. They mostly play, sometimes they paint, have fun with play dough or have story/song time. Hudson is with 11 others in the 4-7s group. He has a class on music appreciation/drama with Peter and the Wolf, a Bible class (further emphasis on the 10 commandments which are taught during the assembly time), a mini fit class (games and team activities). Then we all gather for lunch, outside play and individual reading time. They break up again and Hudson goes for listen and discuss of the story, Stone Fox, and then a math or science class. Elliot and Nathanael have more play and then we all group together for a closing time. There are 2 other groups of older kids so all in all, it's a very sizable group. We're all worn out by the end of the day, but happy to have had such a great opportunity. It's been the best way for us to get to know people too.

Here are a few pictures of Hudson and Elliot in their groups.
