CO-OP Fridays

Today is Friday so it seemed appropriate to write a co-op Friday post.

Who cares if the last co-op day was 3 weeks ago.

It is still Friday and you still haven't seen the pictures!

For the last day of co-op Matthew had to create a diorama of his favorite habitat for his Wild Animal Habitat class.  He choose the Arctic. 

His box wasn't fancy but he made it by himself and he was proud.

The giant silver thing in the middle was an iceberg, he also had a beluga whale, an arctic seal pup, and a man in a canoe.

A few days later we attended the co-op fall showcase.

Kaityn's Jr. Drama class performed "Hansel and Gretel in the Creepy Woods",

Kaitlyn played an elf named "Jumpy".  Kaitlyn is not a fan of talking in front of people, or a fan of talking to people for that matter so this was a big deal for her.  She did great though!  

Taking a bow.

Even without a smile on her face I think she makes the cutest elf!

After the performance we all enjoyed eating cookies and punch while looking at some of the art projects the co-op art classes had made.

  

The project on the left is a group effort to recreate the chandelier on the right completely out of water bottles, hangers, and twists ties.  This project was raffled off among the students and unfortunately Kaitlyn did not win.  She was really hoping it would be the perfect piece to add to her bedroom.

Her final piece from recycled art was a castle.  It was made primarily out of recycled toilet paper tubes, cereal boxes, and paper mache.  I thought it was super cute and fit perfectly with her mermaid themed room.

Over all it was a fantastic semester at co-op.  The kids learned a lot and made some great friends and I enjoyed getting to chat with the other moms.  I am happy for the long break in between semesters that allows us to get caught up on stuff at home but I know my kids will be counting down the days till next semester starts!
