This year's co-op looked a bit different than past co-ops. Our family was joined by three others to study grammar and writing with Mama, while learning their geography and current events with Mum. Don't these students look thrilled to bits with their new writing assignments?
The college-prep students look promising, but to be honest, it's probably just a facade for the camera -- they're good actors! ;-)
Geography students puzzle over layers of the earth's crust... The the melding of current events and geography happened accidentally with the birth of new nations in Africa and natural disasters in New Zealand and Japan. Much prayer occurred on those Fridays!
As an end of the year project, the students had to research current events happening all over the globe, write reports on them, and then convert those reports into news story format. To make things even more complicated (but way sweeter, as we all agree), they then filmed a 40 minute news program called OTSN -- On The Spot News.
Community with fellow believers is so sweet and makes homeschooling so much richer! We love you all!
