I'm doing a story for the Courier Westside about the EduKids co-op that I plan to join next year. I spoke with the oldest board member, Cindy Francis, yesterday. I am VERY excited about what they have to offer. The co-op goes from preschool on up to high school. It costs $75 per family PER YEAR! They meet once a week and have four classes, 2 academic subjects, gym and some type of club. Cindy said they do more science and art than she has ever done in her whole school career, and more than she ever would have done with her kids if it had been just her.
I love the idea of the co-op. For years I have been trying to be super structured, basically a different person. When I realized I couldn't entirely be that I almost gave up on homeschool. But now that I have accepted my strengths for what they are and learned to relax I realize that I can give my children what they need. Still, I am very excited about the chance to do something a little more formal. And I'm glad it's only once a week!

There's a co-op here that I just found that is at the Baptist church 4 blocks from my house! They have classes all day on Tuesday if I want! I'm very excited about this! I don't know what I'm gonna do with a whole day with just me and Uma!! i think the kids will enjoy it too and it might cure Olivia of the, "I just want to go to school for one week to see what it's like" syndrome!!
Okay, that should have been a phone reply and not a comment....sorry so long.

I organize a co-op in our area that meets only a few times each season (4 times in fall, 4 times in winter and 4 times in spring). Our co-op is only a couple of years old, but has grown tremendously. I'll be very interested to read about your experiences in your co-op.

Man, our lives are similar! Fortunately no one at my house wants to eat rubber bands (today). I'm a get-organized-and-take-names-later spree. My husband has fled the premises and the children are cowering in the corner. Just kidding, they're getting their home school done!

Kate,
You have been tagged with the book meme.
Since I don't know how to make that a link, itself, in a blog comment, you'll have to come to my blog to see what that means! http://wesleyananglican.blogspot.com
