Extras.....

Here is a list of extra activities for the 2008-09 school year....

Mom's Get-together: Thursday, August 14, 7:00, Wendy Timms' house
Tentative Field Trip (see previous post): Friday, November 14, 11:45, Good Night Moon
Tentative Christmas Party: December 2 (daytime)
Spring Open House: Tuesday, April 14, 2009 (evening)

Anyone??

Wendy was contacted before she went out of town this week, by a representative from the Alliance Theater. As a courtesy, they have pre-booked tickets for us to see Goodnight Moon on Friday, November 14, at 11:45. I believe the tickets are $8, but I don't know if they have a discount for larger groups. First of all, would anyone be interested in going? Also, would anyone be willing to coordinate this? Wendy has all the contact info, so all that would be involved would be getting a head count, collecting the money, and contacting them with the number in our group. What do you think?? :)

What in the World Can I Teach?

Deciding to be a part of co-op is the easy part....the hard part is deciding what class you would like to teach. If you're anything like me, you do much better given a list of choices than just trying to come up with something on your own. Here are a few other blogs that have lists of class ideas. Thank you to Wendy for tracking these down for us. Also, be sure to try Reach Co-op. Use the links under 'Educational Departments' to view class ideas by grade level. Happy Reading!

We Have a Website!

OK, so it's a blog....BUT, it's FREE! :) I thought it might be helpful to have all of our information in one place. This way as you are talking to your friends about our co-op, you have somewhere you can send them to find out more about us. I have linked to all of our membership documents (side bar on the left). I can also add authors, so if anyone has a message for the group, it can be posted here. Just let me know if you would like to be on the author list. I'll be adding information over the weekend.
