So TOG Co-op went well on Friday. I was nervous about the Middle Grammar students. I have only taught the Lower Grammar and was a preschool teacher for several years so that is my comfort zone. The day went great. The kids really got into the experiments with motion and the graphing and averaging the data. We made Newton's Cradles, button yo-yo's and Silhoutte Portraits. We also had a mock 18th century dinner party. The boys had to pull out the girl's chairs. They had to stand when two of the girl guests arrived late. They had to wait until the hostess took her first bite and boy, did she make them suffer. She waited a good 3 minutes to take a bite, an eternity for the hungry boys! It was too funny. Here are some pictures of the day and the things they did.
Number 3 child acting in the role of servant.
Teaching them to set a table. Only one cup was broken and thankfully by one of my children.
He was reluctant to do his mannerly duties, but in the end he was a perfect gentleman.
Cutie Patootie #5 child...the Upper Grammar did some kind of experiment w/ the skateboard.
Adorable #4 child hanging out on the skateboard. The two did a nice job taking turns.
#1 child with her Silhoutte portrait. The UG portraits turned out a little better than the MG. They must hold still better. Every time I said hold still my group of kids wiggled more.
It appears that my #2 & #3 children have posture issues.
The button yo-yo's really do work and so did the Newton's cradle. I was so excited that it did what it was supposed to. Ya never know! Hope you enjoyed. I am spending today getting the week planned out. I will hopefully write it here and hold to what the Lord shows me. Thanks for looking and please leave me a comment. I love knowing that this is being read and encouraging others. |
Don't you love the eyelashes of #3...it is not exaggerated! They really are that long.Comments
