Co-op

Our days of the smaller co-op are coming to a close for the summer. We only have one more week until it's over. We will be reapplying for September. 

The kids worked on math in a very creative way. Carolyn set up papers with numbers or addition problems. Once the kids solve the addition problem, or recognized the number, they had to count out that amount of stickers and place them in the box.

Jayden worked on an addition worksheet. He can now regroup in math! :)

J & C drew themselves on the chalkboard

 The kids made towers with unifix cubes

Cait measured Carolyn

 The kids made a baby with Jayden's pillow. His name is Jack. Jack wears a chef hat and an apron for clothes, and has a Star Wars sword and a pickle for arms. They love Jack,

Legos & Tball

The kids love playing with legos. For Christmas, Santa brought Jayden a 1600 piece set.

Jayden built a lego dog as a pet for his lego man

Cait built him a bed and an airplane

 Jayden had a tball game.

Who says an abacus is only for math?

It is also a concert stage for My Little Pony & Lion-O who are doing a duet!

Bug Hunt!

Earlier this week we went over to Vanessa's house for a bug hunt. Vanessa is really into nature- something I am not, so we are grateful to have her for this part of science!

I stayed away as much as possible but we did look through Vanessa's bug books to identify the bugs she caught with them.

Checking out an egg in Vanessa's yard- possibly a snake egg.
