We have joined a homeschool Co-op
and we are so EXCITED about it!!
Friday Electives will now be at the Co-op!
Sept 3 - 6
Week 1, LETS GO!!!
School is off to a great start! Kids started a writing project about their summer break, can't wait to share it. There were many discussions about the new homeschool co-op, goals for the year, field trips, sports, and much more.
Everyone got back into the swing of things really well! We all missed the togetherness that we have while homeschooling!
The co-op doesn't start for another couple weeks, and it was hot, so we had our Friday elective day at the Washougal River!
So excited to see what this year has in store for these amazing kids!
Sept 9 - 13
Week 2
We had a lesson and tribute on 9/11. We took school photos this week. Homeschool Co-Op started and the kids LOVE it! Planned and kicked off our homeschool passport fundraising sale! Please click on the fundraising tab if you'd like to support our fundraising efforts!
Everyone had a great time writing about their summer break!
September 16-20
Week 3
They are mastering the microscope and learning how to complete lab reports! We volunteered at our church, to help with the garage sale. Zayden, Logan & Zyla got to see the Oscar Mayer Weinermobile for the first time! First full day of Co-Op classes, went so well, they are taking a wood working class and a book nook model building class! All 4 of us are really enjoying it and making new friends already! It was such a great week!
First Encounter with the Wienermobile!
They even got wiener whistles! Can you guess the theme of the jokes this week? Don't think you're going to take teenagers to see a giant Wienermobile and have that be the end of it! Kids got such a kick out of seeing this, the driver was telling them jokes and made it such a fun experience! Now they want to travel the world in a Wienermobile!
If you're sitting next to the driver, you're riding SHOTBUN!
If you're looking out the top, it's a BUNROOF!
No need for a glove box when you have a BUNBOX!
September 23-27
Week 4
Everyone is doing great, staying on track and excited to learn! They got to start using GDevelop, they are having so much fun learning how to navigate the program, designing creatures and building games.

Setpt. 30 - Oct 4, 2024
Week 5
We've been spending extra time on core subjects in preparation for upcoming MAP Tests.
They made these wooden dogs in co-op. They sanded, painted and glued them. I love how they're all different and Logan's is Diesel to match Maizie's painting of Diesel.
Oct 7-11 - Week 6 - Franz Bakery Field Trip
Highlight of our week was the Franz bakery field trip, with some friends from co-op! Some of the kids' favorite facts: the building is over 100 years old, they have a bun highway that is over a mile long, they run 24/7 during their busy season, which is summer!
Environment: safety first, hot, loud and everyone had to wear hair nets!
We went to the outlet store afterwards and each got to pick out a bread item to bring home!
Oct 14-18
Work Hard, Play Hard!
It was a busy week with MAP testing for all 3 kids. They all did great and tested at average or above on every subject!
We went to the pumpkin patch with our co-op on Friday!
Highly Recommend Velvet Acres Garden!
Oct 21 - Oct 25
Lots of Fall FUN!
Kids got to go to Boo Bash in Camas, they also enjoyed a fun Harvest Carnival at Co-Op. We worked together to brainstorm, design and build a game for the carnival. We made a fishing game, with no water, instead of catching a Fish, everyone caught a Glow Stick! We had pajama day! We discussed Mental Health and how that affects your overall health.
Oct 28 - Nov 1
Dad's Baking School
Dad had the week off work, so we had a modified schedule and spent some time baking. We baked sourdough bread, pumpkin bread and banana bread. My husband is an amazing cook, he enjoys passing on family traditions!
Maizie was here for Halloween and got to spend the night! She and Dad joined us at Co-Op Friday School! She had so much fun learning what Friday school is all about and meeting the friends her siblings have been telling her about.
Nov 4-8
God Bless America!
We had a special emphasis on politics this week. We followed the election closely and discussed the importance of educated voting.
MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS
Nov 11 - 15
We studied some common mental health issues: Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, Bipolar Disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder, Narcissistic Personality Disorder, Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy and much more.
Recognizing Symptoms
We discussed warning signs and symptoms of mental illness.
Treatment
Mental illness isn't a choice, but getting help is. There are many resources available to help with mental health issues.
Helping Others
We discussed ways you can help someone if they seem to be struggling with their mental health.
It's not your Fault
How other people act is a direct reflection of their own experiences and perception of themselves. Some with mental health issues struggle to control how they treat others. It's not your fault.
