My Classes in The Lighthouse Co Op By: Sis Age:8

We have recently started at thing called The Lighthouse Co Op. It is something for homeschoolers where we go every Monday, and that is our day off school :) They are fun classes :)

Buddy and I at first go to Music Class. Our teacher is Mrs. Chagmon. She is nice :) And we are learning how to read music and will have a concert at the end and somebody might play the piano and somebody else might play the flute! We are also learning in music class how to play chimes which has been fun! A O is called a whole note and a d is called a half note and a d with a dark part in the circle is called a quarter note, and those are all the notes that we have studied so far! We have also learned how to play the chimes and we have learned some fun songs! :) :) :)

Then my next class is Art and my teacher is Mrs. Couser. She is nice also :) We have a big portfolio with charcoal, an easel, a drawing pad, a art journal, a hard pencil, a soft pencil, a sketch book, and a pencil sharpener, pastels of almost any color, a notebook, history of art papers along with pictures of cave paintings, we have a ton of art stuff! We in our art journal draw a picture a day, in our sketch book we sketch things, with our drawing pad we draw things :) :) :)

My next class is Destination Imagination! My teacher is Mrs. Lommen. She is nice also! :) And we act out things one of our challenges was to think of three animals pretend to be them, and have them argue something that would mean that they would be president, we had 2 minutes to choose 3 animals, make up words for them and 4 minutes to act it out, we managed almost! We also will have challenges against other teams, and also the very best teams go to Tennessee where all over the world teams come to compete! :) :) :)

Then we have Lunch! :) :) :)


My next Class is Cooking and Crafts Throughout The USA, where we have baked, frosting and mini apple pie, and will be baking cookies this Monday! We have also learned about Compass Roses, and we have also learned about these states and capitols:
