History Banquet

Earlier in March our homeschool co-op did a history banquet night. Each of the kids chose a person in history and could present it any way that they wanted to. 


Joshua chose to present Abraham Lincoln...


Joy chose to present Sacagawea...


We had a yummy spaghetti feed before the presentations began.  :)


Peter helped out some of the other kids with their presentations. :)


Both Joshua and Joy did such a great job! We were so proud of them! They both enjoyed reading about and researching their subjects and planning what they wanted to share with everyone.  :)


I got a great idea from an awesome friend to put smiley faces on his note cards at the end of every couple of sentences. We he saw the smiley face it was to be a reminder to look up at the audience, make eye contact and smile... Well, it worked and even got several of us chuckling because it was so cute when he'd look up and do this every 10 seconds or so, LOL!....


Our 'Sacagawea' remembered to smile and look up too.  :)



All the kids presentations we so great and we really enjoyed preparing for them and watching everyone else's. It was a fun night!

Homeschool Co-Op

I don't usually post about our homeschool co-op on my blog but this last week was so much fun I just had to share! One of my many creative hobbies is cake decorating...(thanks Dad!) and this week I was able to share that with all the kids in our co-op. I made tons of these cute mini cakes and brought all of my supplies for them to explore and create with. They all did such a great job and seemed to really enjoy it, I know I did! :) We weren't able to be in our usual room because of the holiday, but our library was kind enough to let us do it in their little study room....icing and all! And I was so thankful for all of the other parents who stayed and helped and also cleaned up after us when we were done! :) It turned out great and the kids did a fantastic job on their cakes!







 


This is one of my favorites! 
Only a military kid would put a helicopter on the top of his cake...SO cool!
