Co-op D&D

In the homeschool world there are many types of co-ops. The co-ops we are a part of basically consist of about 35 families. All the mothers lend their talents to teaching, administration, rocking babies in the nursery etc. This gives children the benefit of attending class with friends and learning to listen to other adults and taking classes that they may not otherwise get at home!
I get the benefit of staying with the children (usually I spend one hour/class with each child) and wathcing them interact. The classes are small, usually no more than about 10 children with three teachers. All the families are Christian...I could go on and on about the wonderful parts of co-op!
At the end of each session we host a Dessert and Display (basically an open house) for dads and grandparents to see what we have done. We have tables displayed from each childs class and then we have do songs, or presentations in the sanctuary.

Our entire family (minus my hubby!-he is taking the picture) came out to see the kids work! It was awesome to have everyone come out. My family is great!
