REACH Homeschool Co-op

I can't believe we only have a couple of weeks left of this semester. We have had so much fun and I have thoroughly enjoyed the students and families.

Science class is one of my favorites. My husband teases me about all the weird things I pack up to take, and our son's pet population grew by a crab and some shrimp, but I love having hands on examples for demonstrations and experiments almost every week. And my husband will admit that he has enjoyed testing a few of those experiments! The kids' favorites seem to be anything using test tubes, the glow in the dark goop we made, digging for fossils, and blowing a candle out with sound waves. Hmm...I wonder what I will be packing for next semester....

I also have the privilege of helping to teach the Kindergarteners. What fun! We have quite a diverse little group. It is so fun watching their talents and skills come out. Love, love, love that spark in their eye when they figure something out!

I wind up my teaching day with Latin class. I am so proud of these kids, and it is sooo cool to hear them. One of the activities they have enjoyed is translating the Latin parts of a story written by another classmate. I am looking forward to sharing a Roman meal with them next semester, as I already know these kids respond well to food!

Thanks again, Emily for your wonderful teaching in Art and PE, and to the moms who care for the nursery and toddler kids!

Emily and I are working on information for next semester. It will be on the website soon. Current students will be able to enroll for Spring Semester the last day of this semester (Dec 11), so you won't have to wait and then mail your form in.

We will also be posting some information for future year classes.

See you on Tuesday! I've got to go start packing my science kit....
