Weekly Wrap-Up...Co-Op Showcase!

Hosted by Weird, Unsocialized Homeschoolers
I just realized that I think I've misspelled "homeschoolers" more than once when linking with weekly wrap-up! Or perhaps I catch it every time and haven't posted it misspelled once- yet ;)

The highlight of our week was Monday and Friday :) 

Sunday the 20th was the Ham & Pancake Supper for the local 4H, where both Lee and Fox had to help with setting up/serving/cleaning up/eating. LOL- eating wasn't required but they certainly didn't miss that part! I didn't go myself. I went with my dh to dinner at Arby's instead (hey, any time with just the two of us is much appreciated!). 

Monday- Co-Op. It was the last day of it for this semester/term/whatever-you-call-it and it was a wee bit sad for me :( I enjoyed my Creative Writing class although, to be honest, we didn't get much in the way of writing done. But what was done was definitely creative ;) Lee did her paper route all on her own and it only took 2 1/2 hours.... Fox was supposed to have the day off from school but I made him do school anyway. k12 (WYVA) for some reason didn't have classes. 

Tuesday- same ol, same ol. The kids were supposed to have shooting at 6pm and I was going to work out with a friend while they were shooting- turns out they rescheduled or something and wouldn't be shooting until later. We didn't make it back. The equipment that was supposed to be ready for my friend and I to use for working out wasn't ready (and we don't know how to work it!) so we didn't work out... well, we exercised our jaws by chatting :) It's good to talk about peanut butter and coffee- as well as whatever else comes up- sometimes :)

Wednesday was a nonchalant day... but it was nice outside (at least I'm pretty sure it was Wednesday- it's snowing at the moment so...) and the kids and I went to the park. We walked there :)

Thursday, Fox got a lot done with school and it took forever! Well, perhaps not forever but it was 7pm by the time he was done. Fortunately for all involved there was not much resistance...not sure I'd been able to handle it. I got back my graded assignment for Spanish and am wondering/hoping/praying that the instructor grades on a curve. And that the other students are doing as bad as I am! ;)

Friday! Co-Op Showcase!!! I forgot to take my camera though so I only have a couple of photos from my phone and they are not very good. I didn't even get a photo of the set up displays- doh! I wanted to remember the camera, really I did... All the kids did great. I got to help with the Song and Snack group which was made up of 3 (or 4??) toddlers (ages 2-4, I think) sing "Head, Shoulders, Knees & Toes" and "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star." They were soooo cute! 
Lee participated in the flag folding ceremony at the beginning of the showcase and later both she and Fox were in the choir. They sang Folksong Rhapsody and Benediction. If I had a way to share the music, I would. They did great :) I could really hear Fox singing. I loved it :)

Here are a few photos from the Showcase (please excuse the poor quality! they are bad, I know...)
All of the choir singing.


Them having fun (and eating a lot of cookies!!) afterwards :) It took quite a bit of convincing to get Lee to do it- and let me take a photo heehee.

Co-Op choir will continue until May. There will be a final performance May 23rd.

So how was your week? Link up with the Weekly Wrap-Up at Weird, Unsocialized Homeschoolers :)

  1. I love the new blog!

    What a full week. I'll be praying that your Spanish teacher grades on a curve. I always struggled in Spanish class, so I feel your pain. :)

  3. Sounds like a good week. Co-op sounds really fun. We participated in one last year but didn't this year. I kind of miss it but just thought we didn't have the time this year. :( Yours looks like lots of fun. :)

  4. @ Lori- I hope he grades on a curve but I'm thinking he isn't that type of professor- although he did mention something about a pay off from the entire class at one point... ;) but it was a 'chiste'! (joke)

    @ Jamie- the showcase was a lot of fun. I'm looking forward to next time which won't be until fall :/

    @ Leah- from reading your blog, you've got a lot of things that the kids participate in that could be similar to how our co-op runs. Sometimes we just don't have the time. Perhaps you can again some time.

  5. I know what you mean about co-op ending. I'm always ready to be done teaching, but I miss the interaction!
