I'm not sure if I've mentioned this before, but I found a homeschool coop at the beginning of the school year and I just love it! We haven't had opportunity to be a part of all the activities, but we've really enjoyed the ones we have done. On Thursday they have "school." Basically it is moms and dads who teach a class. The classes are very inexpensive and most of all the boys love it. Actually, I love it too because I get to enjoy fellowship with other homeschool moms. Yay! We are almost through with our first semester. Both boys took a hands on science class where they made things fizzle and explode, as well as make things like silly putty, play dough and slime. Yeah, they loved it. Ethan also took a basic art class too. Yesterday we had a Thanksgiving feast during the lunch break and a lot of the dads and other family members came to participate. It was a lot of fun.
So, next semester should be great too. AND, I signed up to teach a class. I wasn't going too, but as I talked through it with some other ladies (and they thought it would be great) my arm was twisted. Well, not too hard, actually because now I am really excited about it. So, what am I going to teach? Drum roll....... World religions for 7th-12th graders! Since this is what (one) of my degrees is in I thought it would be fun for me to refresh myself as well. It's amazing what you forget you knew after 12+ years! It will be fun to learn about some of the world religions and then (since it's a christian school) bring it back to a Christian response to those of other faiths. Yep, I'm excited!
