Ice Cream Sundae Bar

 For two of our yearly co-op parent meetings, a sweet gal named Britt and I plan the snack. I love being creative and making the snack area special. Britt brought all of the cute decor items, ice cream and toppings, and I came up with the idea of an ice cream bar, and provided all the coffee, creamers, water, cups, dishes, spoons, etc.

The ladies LOVED it!

Last nights' meeting was to plan for classes for next year. All of our classes are parent taught. Some of the class suggestions for next year are nature art, stem classes,  Biology labs, literature classes, Tour of Italy with Nonna (doesn't that sound fun? A gal's Italian mother is going to help with that class), sewing, Irish dance, trip around the world. Preschool runs on its own track, K-1st, 2-3rd, 4-6th all get gym, and music, and then an elective class period. 7-UPs get three periods of electives. 

These gals are so amazing. As I am one of the oldest in the group, homeschool wise and age wise, I am so thankful for all these young, energetic young women! Most are college educated, they're all smart, and love their kids!

Our co-op has been in existence since 1998. Emma was four and in preschool at co-op the first year. Nate was in 4th-6th. Now his oldest is in 4th-6th at the same co-op! Klaire is in the preschool class, and Kyle is a 7-up. He's in 11th grade.

I tease that after Kyle graduates I'll still be bringing the girls to co-op, and eventually Kamryn will be driving and pushing me in a wheelchair! Ha! 

Tomorrow we head south. Thank you all for your kind words of comfort.
