Well, week 2 of Cooper Academy is over. This week began with some extra curricular activities...We went to Six Flags with some relatives on Monday.
It was Labor Day, the weather wasn't too hot and there weren't that many people there either. We had a very good time and the kids had a blast!
Then on Tuesday we played catch up:
We finished our study on Moses and learned the books of the Old Testament. Amanda already knew these so it was a refresher.
In Math we finished reviewing addition and subtraction and made a 92 on the test!! Yes, I do give my child test. Next week will be a review over place value, OOOO Exciting!!!
We had our regular subjects throughout the week but added the "extra" stuff. On Wednesday Amanda resumed her spanish lessons from our friend, Liz.
Thursday, she and I both began guitar lessons. Yes, guitar lessons. Do you know how long it has been since I took any lessons of any kind???
I took guitar lessons in the third grade, I was 9 years old...WOW, I'm old!!!! The guitar was bigger than me at that time, oh how I wish I could say that now, LOL!!!! It's just learning chords basically and it's something that we can do together.
Next week begins cooking class on Tuesday afternooon for Amanda, not me. Although my husband probably thinks I need to attend this class since all we seem to do is eat out.
Friday was our first homeschool co-op of the year. I didn't realize how many kids would be there! The Co-op this year has different classes for the kids. Sewing, nutrition, PE and crafts. The kids range from Kindergarten and up. I believe the kids had a good time and that's really all that matters. See link in side bar.
This week we didn't have as many "projects" to make. I'm afraid next week we may have to hunt down bugs. I don't like bugs...that's why I couldn't be on Survivor. I'm to BOSSY and hate bugs!!!
Speaking of Survivor...it begins September 20 at 7:00pm. Dancing with the Stars starts September 24th!!!!
We purchased a copy of Microsoft Student with Encarta http://www.microsoft.com/student/default.mspx for Amanda. It looks amazing and will come in handy with Science.
This week was extremely busy and I'm thankful for the weekend! Just think, we get to do this all over again beginning Monday!!!

I think that guy in the last picture looks pretty shady. I don't know if I would continue to hang out with him or not.
Sounds like #2 was a good week too. I hope things continue to go well. By the way, keep posting what you're doing. I'll share what I learn from classroom teachers in public school and you can give me ideas to share with them.
Trace looks like he had a great time...not! :)
Nancy: That guy isn't too bad, LOL!!
Dale: That's a deal!!!
Cherie: I guess looks are deceiving cause we had a good time!! Even Trace!!!
