It's hard to believe, but it is time to start planning our next semester. On the "How we teach" page, we have a copy of out Spring schedule. Almost all of our teaching spots are filled, thanks to our excellent parents. There are very exciting classes planned for the next semester. 

We have had very little turnover this semester, so the classes are remaining close to full. We have expanded enrollment to the teen class to 30 kids. If you are thinking about joining us, we would be happy to have you! Please head over to the "Sign up" page. Classes start on January 20th 2017. Please make sure to enroll at least 1 week prior to that. Spots are filled on a "First come, first served" basis.

At the end of each semester, we have a evening meeting that the kids can demonstrate to friends and family what they have been learning this semester. We had a record number of visitors this year to support our children.
The Teen class this semester studied literature, writing, and science and math based careers. For their demonstration they had a slide show of their field trips and a table with samples of their literary and writing work. Also two students read their favorite papers to the audience.

The Preschool class had their first official classes this semester. They did many different activities, and were very excited to be able to display their work for their families! 
The Biggers class Also Had a great art teacher. One of the parents is a professional clay worker, and taught the kids the basics of form and textures. The best part of this class is how the teacher being an artist herself, was able to appreciate that every child has their own style. She didn't put the kids into a box making them do it all her way. She gave them suggestions, guidance and direction, and let their imaginations drive them. This class also performed dramatic biographies for the audience. These were based on a class that they read a historical drama every week and tried to act it out.

The Littles class has a stellar art teacher that worked on purposeful crafts. They helped the kids to go above the bare minimum. They discussed and portrayed social ideas through their art.  The drew family portraits. They talked about their dreams for the future. They had a great time! They also sang a song for the presentation in spanish. It was a blast watching them be so excited on stage!

The Middles Class doesn't have a picture, but they performed Hansel and Gretel for their drama class, and made all the props for the play in their art class! 
It was an amazing semester! It is such a privilege to work with all these talented parents! They amaze me every year. As we continue to grow and mature as a co-op, we hope to meet more needs for this wonderful homeschooling community.
