I thought I better post some pictures of our recent activities as a reminder for me. Sometimes the weeks go by and I forget that we actually HAVE done some fun things. Sometimes the memories slip away in the muddle of laundry piles and diaper changes!
One of our local power companies came to the last day of co-op. They put on a neat demonstration that was a great ending to BigM's power hour class. We had pizza for lunch and then went on with our regular classes. Made for a busy day, but also a good ending to our co-op year.
The next day we had Open House. I helped in the beginner sewing class this year. These reversible tote bags, zipper pouches, and rice packs are what they made this semester.
Little M and Little L both got to get on stage for a song...they had buckets for drums and water bottle rice shakers. Thank you so much, helpers, for caring for my boys. I was pretty busy in my classes and could only sneak a peek at them every now and then.
The older 2 also had performances, but their pictures had so many other children in them that I didn't post because I don't have permission.
Big M played two classical music pieces with boomwhackers. What a fun way for a group to work together!
Big L's Worship Dance class showed what they have been learning with flags and a billow cloth to the song "How He Loves" by David Crowder Band.
L took a stained glass painting class this year. She really liked this class. This is her final project. It turned out beautifully!
Today we finally got around to making our Olympus Mons volcano erupt. Water, food coloring, dish soap, baking soda, and vinegar....and you have a volcano.
It is very nice that the two oldest children are now getting old enough to take some responsibility and actually do experiments without so much help from me.
Now we are looking at about 6 (or so!) weeks until we finish our bookwork. If you have children, you know the learning never really ends...but it will be nice when it can come at a little slower pace :)
