Brag Time–Co-op
We are part of a great co-op, you could say I’m biased, since I started it up…but, I really was so lucky to have such great women join up with me in the effort. We meet every other Tuesday for an hour and a half. We cover science, music and art. This week the topic was Thanksgiving (of course) and the mom in charge of teaching came up with some great projects.
We made mosaic Indian Corn
For Science -
We did a milk and vinegar experiment ( have to say the milk was not the only thing that curdled, my stomach felt curdled too!)
And we tested a variety of food for starch, using iodine.
For music we listened to and talked about this hymn
We haven't tried the starch an iodine experiment, but it sounds fun and interesting (and simple to pull together). Sounds like some GREAT ideas coming out of the co-op!
So great you were able to put something together. I haven't been as lucky with coops but hopefully when we return to the states I will find something. Coop just aren't done in the UK:( Thanks for sharing on the NOBH

ReplyDeleteI love that you have a successful co-op! I am hoping that after we move that I will be able to find or start one!
