Coop

We signed up for an LDS homeschooling coop awhile ago, but due to the snow and such their first day was yesterday. The kids really enjoyed it.
It meets once a week and the children have three periods. Each period they get their choice of three different classes when they register and the classes are taught by the mothers.
Seri is taking Intro to dance, Survival stories, and physical science. She is really enjoying all of them but wont stop talking aobut the physical science. I guesse he made almost pure oxygen by mixing hydrogen peroxide and yeast, and then did another "really awesome" experiment. When I picked her up, Seri and the teacher were talking about the SRB's on rockets and how much liquid oxygen the externals tank use, how it is stored, etc..... It's all a above me, but I guesse she found her niche.
Michael is in Pirates, Math and art, He is still hollering at me for not putting him in chess, maybe next sesmester. Of course his favorite class is Pirates.
Isaac is in the pre-school session and they worked on the letter A the whole time.
All the children are a little nervous about not being together the whole time, especially the boys. They are very close and the Coop is probably a good thing because it forces them to do things apart.
On an interesting note, one of the mom's and Michael's teacher for Pirates is a friend I went to highschool with. It was nice running into her again and we have a play date for next week.
