Almost summer already?
Almost Summer Already?
It is completely bonkers that this school year is almost over.
Anybody else have the feeling like, where did the school year go?
I know for our family this time is punctuated with garden beginnings, park time, making summer plans, and doing our best to "stay the course" to complete our studies. For the kids this means pushing through the final assignments when they would much rather be spending it outside. As for me, that means getting our plan together for next year so I can truly have some summer months "off duty" from homeschool (and pushing through when I would much rather be outside with the kids and/or in my garden).
We are fine tuning our selections for co-op next year. Be on the lookout for posts and updates of our projected calendar and curriculum choices.
As always, please feel free to reach out if you have any questions about co-op, homeschooling, or anything else I might be able to help you with. Those that know me well will agree, I'm always up for a chat, especially about homeschool (and the garden, haha!).

Are you guys excited for next year?
2022 -2023
*Literature*
Upper Elementary, Middle, and High classes have been curated by one of our own moms who is a published author and has a passion for teaching literature. Our high schoolers will get to tackle one of her own books this year! Some of the classics will be taught alongside Progeny or Memoria Press literature guides.
We call this block of time "Riches" in our co-op. We rotate through different units for Riches; anywhere from the history of significant events, holidays and biblical feasts, to many step art projects, show and tell (led by students), and a full co-op play. The kids, and moms, have had a lot of fun with Riches this year and we plan to continue this concept next year. One change to be made to the 2022 - 2023 school year is that some select weeks we will separate some of the younger children. This will allow the older groups to focus on more difficult projects. During their time away the younger crew will focus on some social studies / civics work.
Spanish and ASL are planned to be taught to all ages. The curriculum for both of these subjects is still being decided on.
This will allow more opportunity for for students since so much of high school core classes Planned classes include {Literature} (see selections listed above), {Finance}, {Spanish / ASL}, {Life Skills}, and {Enrichment}.
