We celebrated Coraline's birthday with presents in the morning, Minecraft time, crab rangoon, Goodwill shopping (which she loves that place), dinner with Woody & Greg at her favorite restaurant. She got to go shopping with all the grandparents and got loads of clothes, books, and we upgraded her watch to a phone because she is SUPER responsible when it comes to her watch and always being able to answer when we call.....unlike possible other siblings....

Co-op Days are BACK
Co-op Afterlife with Lotte

Presentations with Mrs. Goodsell
Science with Mrs. Doty - booklets and experiments
Clairana reading to her presentations class - the youngest group. They have presentations but because theirs don't last as long we read to them and send them outside to play on the playground - it is every other week. The high school juniors all have a class they chose to teach this year. It is a one hour slot in their co-op day. 
Bella & Cecily's class made brains - only a portion of them slowed down enough to take a picture.

School Year Has Started







Bubbe made name necklaces for the afternoon littles!
A few pictures from the morning before heading out.
We are studying astronomy this year, so I brought moonpies to kick off the year and try all the flavors. Chocolate won by far.
Gym time
**Still working on formatting a new system. Hopefully it will be better soon.
Weekly Fun

Clairana teaches art 7 times a year at co-op and we make sure we have several moms to help assist but she does a great job and the kids enjoy it. 

Running over to play Euchre after co-op.
Moons with cocoa craters for high school science.... 

It was a mess. 
Afternoon care with Bubbe and Pappy

Clairana taught art - they learned about Byzantine artwork. 
Her example
Science - learning about the digestive system

Game time in the afternoon before heading home.
Co-op breakfast someone took a picture - we have quiche almost every week for a couple years now.
Practicing her lesson at home.

Service Night - Watermelons
Service night taking watermelons from the Purdue research farm to the local food pantry. You can spot some of us in our bright neon shirts - the little girls decided to match me. ** I didn’t take any pictures but the women in charge of the farm sent them to me.

Farmlife 




At the end Brother Asay brought cold pop for everyone - Lotte felt so fancy having her own can of lemonade.
