Co-op and other stuff

We had our co-op open house yesterday. It went really well. We have a wide variety of kids, and a wide variety of classes that are going to be taught. Most importantly, though... all of the kids that are participating are good, well behaved kids that I don't mind my kids hanging out with.

Today is one of Marty's days off, so we are most likely going to hang out at the house (and do laundry!) after school is done. Of course, the boys asked if there was a park day scheduled for today.

Christian has an archery/shooting class tomorrow for Boy Scouts. He is planning to work on his archery badge at summer class, so he has to take a safety class. He is excited because he gets to shoot all kinds of guns, and learn to shoot a bow and arrow. The fact that he has from 7am - 4pm without his brothers probably helps with the enthusiasm.

I have found most of the books I need for Core Alt 6 and Core 100. Once the books we need for the first 6 weeks are here we will start. I wanted to start Alt 6 with Ethan and Alex this Monday, but I somehow managed to lose our Usborne Book of World History, so I had to buy another one.

As for Christian and Core 100... I think that since we have already read the first 2 books of A History of Us I am going to spend the next week or so having him read all of the readers and read-alouds that go with those two books, and then just start where we left off. It's either that or I make the poor kid do the same work over again, and that won't be fun for either of us.

That's about it for now. It is time to get moving! Alex is eagerly awaiting his math assignment. NOT!
