Signs of Spring

When I came home from Co-op today, I spotted these crocus flowers popping up along our home.  each kid had to investigate and touch them. God's artwork.  He is good to give us new life. 

Men at Work

This is a weekly scene at co-op!  Every week these boys take down the tables and put them away. Sweet Joshua spotted me taking down a table today and asked.  "Mrs. Mattox, why are you doing that by yourself?"    Thank you, Joshua!  What kid asks that question???  YOUR kids thats who!   Moms, you are doing a wonderful job with your babes!  Your children are a joy to work with!

Beautiful Creations




Our teachers work so hard to come up with fun art projects to take home.  Thank you, teachers!

Mrs. Johnson

Science




Always plenty of HANDS-ON science with Mrs. Leaders.

Density and Filtration



Nate's science experiment focused on water Density.  The more molecular matter contained in an object, the higher its density and the more it weighs. An egg will not float in regular tap water, but salt water is more dense than tap water, so it can sustain the weight of the egg. The egg floats.  Great Job Nate!

Abby's experiment was about water filtration.  As you see in the picture, Brandon was her willing participant tasting her filtered water.  Did you know that God created a water filtering system on earth?  The layers of our earth -- sand and rock naturally filter our water before it collects in aquifers  under the ground.  And I thought we invented the concept of filtering water!  God's creation never ceases to amaze!  Great experiment, Abby!

Alcohol Ink tiles



These really turned out beautiful!  This picture does not do them justice.  Great job!
