After a wonderful summer break, we had to start school again. Which means, what comes with is co-op! So I guess, there is one big upside (other than Awana) to starting the school year all over again! But this year will be very different.
We are blessed and very thankful that the whole Terry/Eddie family will be able to join us this year. And as we grow older, sadly, it means more schoolwork. So we (Zoe, Chloe and I) will be starting Gileskirk for the first time. How exciting! Or not. Then we will be having more classes as well. So a lot to look forward to. Technically, co-op has already started. At least the homework end of it. We had a "starter" or "preparing for co-op" day last week. However, with two of the families gone and just us and the Terry family it wasn't so much like a REAL co-op Thursday.
For the past almost 2 years, co-op is at our house and includes the Tucks, the Coles, the Terrys and of course us people.
So we are looking forward to official starting this week. This year our classes are:
• Writing (taught by Mrs. Tuck)
• Physical Science (taught by mom)
• Gileskirk (co-taught by mom and Mrs. Tuck)
• Spanish (taught by the one and only Cali)
And for Spanish we had to pick "Spanish names". Yea! ;) So Jackson chose, Mario (obviously). Ryon chose, Leon. Austin chose, Gustavo (which is funny because he can never pronounce it the right way). Nathan chose, the undecided. And Alexa chose, Lola. Zoe chose, Rita. I chose, Selena. Chloe chose, Nina. And for the teacher! Cali chose, Mrs. Chiquita (which means Banana to my horror). Norman the Terrys new dog was picked out the name Leonardo. And mom chose Rosalinda. We are practicing rolling our "r's". It is so hard!
Well, that for now is pretty much the overall school right now. Other than of course, Math etc.
We'll see how it goes! :)
