Last week went well again. We finished up MUS Zeta finally! YAY!! LOL So math will be less stressful now. :) We did some more Word Roots, the kids are about halfway through that.
Amanda had her first photography class. The teacher kind of lost the kids a bit because he was talking a lot of technical stuff. But now that that is "out of the way" they are moving onto more fun things.. taking pictures! hehe Their first assignment is to make a list of their favorite things and to take some pictures of those and get them printed. I didn't know it, but Flickr.com has the option to send photos to Target, have them printed and then you pick them up. 20 cents a print. Very cool! So we have to do that for Tuesday to pick her photos up.
Friday was co-op day. There were a few families out due to sickness, so it was a little less chaotic than normal. Not too much thought. LOL For Wizardology, I just had 3 boys. So they finished painting their wands, we did some reading and the first lesson in their handbooks.
Kitchen Chemistry is always crazy. LOL I have the most kids in the class, typically at least 16! We made Gooblek this time around. The kids all had fun. You just mix 3/4 cup corn starch with 1/2 cup water. It should be thick and runny at the same time, but not so runny it just like water. If you grab a handful and quickly roll it around, it should form a ball. As soon as you stop moving it around, it should turn liquid again and run through your fingers. So much fun. :)
