First Day of Mt. Airy Homeschool Co-Op

We had our first day of classes at the Mt. Airy Homeschool Co-Op today.

Robin's first class was Brainteasers.

His second period class is called the Anatomy of Stuff and involved disassembling electrical appliances - and then smashing them.

Final period was a science class about growing plants.

He also played Capture the Flag and rode his bike.

Fellowship

I read to Robin today.

Including a book about Ron McNair, one of the Challenger astronauts, when he was a child in the segregated south.

And one about hearing.

Robin attended a worship service full of music, based around the song Kumbaya.  Robin definitely enjoyed the sillier moments in the service!

First Soccer Practice/Scrimmage

I read to Robin today.

Including a book about a small town boy in Latin America, and one about the Hindu holiday of Diwali.

Robin had is first soccer practice and scrimmage today!  I was working, but what he told me about it was that there were NO GOALIES!  And that this was a bad thing.  But obviously he enjoyed it anyway :-)

Checkup

Robin had a physical exam today.  According to the doctor, I have the cutest kids ever.  I was also pleased that when asked to, Robin was able to write numerals 0 - 10 with 6 and 9 in the right places - they often confuse him.

He worked with Saxon Math 1.

Robin did a word worksheet, and went to the library. I read to him.

Including a counting book in English and Chinese.

And a book about bones.

Soccer

Robin's about to start soccer and yesterday he got cleats, shin guards, and a soccer ball.  Today he went out to a field and kicked the ball around, and attended his brother's first practice

Robin worked with Saxon Math 1 today.

Robin did a spelling worksheet and I read to him.

Including a book about Pandora's box.

Wednesday

Robin worked with Saxon Math 1 today.

He did a spelling worksheet.  I read to Robin.

Including a book about the history of inventions.

And one about proper hygiene.

First day at Mt. Airy Homeschool Co-Op

The serious version . . .

Robin attended the opening day of the Mt. Airy Homeschool Co-op today. Here he is with his siblings, in our version of a 'first day of school' shot. We will be attending weekly through November; Robin is signed up for some exciting classes (which I will detail later on.) Today he attended the kids' meeting, and had 'the best time ever!' playing Capture the Flag in the rain.

Robin went for a bike ride.

And the silly version . . .

He watched two documentaries about dangerous animals.
