Co-op & Unit 14 Begun!

Yesterday was our first day of co-op for the spring semester. I'm teaching 3 classes and 1 is the same class back-to-back with different kids which is great, but makes for a busy morning. The kids enjoyed returning to co-op to see their friends! C wasn't too excited about the nursery, but she survived the morning. :o)

We began Unit 14 yesterday afternoon. K is learning number words for math and we worked on recognizing/reading zero-five using word cards and plastic buttons. She had fun lining them up and then we scrambled up the words and she had to match them to the buttons.Today K's Bible story was about the Ark of the Covenant being returned to Israel. Kate decorated a pudding box with foil and permanent markers to be the "ark."

D learned about the pilgrims welcoming another ship from England to Plymouth a year after they arrived. He had to make the St. George's Cross flag that the ship from England would have been flying on their ship. As soon as he saw the picture of the flag online he said - that's Denmark's flag. He remembered from our unit on Legos! :o) Yeah!
Here's D's finished "clam" from last week complete with a "pearl" inside. It still wasn't dry when I took this picture yesterday. :o( D was a bit discouraged but I assured him that was how it was when you paint with corn syrup...it's okay! :o)
