A Night To Give Thanks!

Reagan was in her very first play this year! The kids in the co-op worked very hard to memorize a little play, memorize the ABC's of Thanksgiving, and sang some Thanksgiving songs for lots of parents, siblings, and grandparents.

They each had cute little outfits that we made in co-op. They proudly sang their songs and nervously sputtered out their lines! After it was all over I heard the kids talking about how nervous they were, but how much fun it was. I was so glad to be able to give her this opportunity. I know many of the schools in our area have done away with school plays. They just do "concerts" where the kids sing a bunch of songs with their class. This was truly a treat and a great way to introduce public speaking. What a memory!

Homeschool Fall Harvest Celebration!

Our Homeschool Fall Harvest Celebration was a HIT! We sent out invitations to all of the families that participate in the co-op. We planned fun food, games, and pictures for the entire family.

The evening started out with each child getting their Kindergarten or 1st grade picture taken. We had fun being able to take a fun picture outdoors and with fun props. Reagan will remember this Kindergarten pic!

Then we had some good old fashioned competition! We did sack races, a doughnut eating contest, bobbing for apples, and fun with the parachute. The kids (and adults) really had fun playing games in the cool crisp air. We won't mention the cheating that took place in the father's sack race (hmmm....Derek).
What a great start to the school year. We are definitely enjoying the fellowship that comes along with the co-op!
