When Legacy was established, we decided to offer courses to homeschoolers that would help meet their needs for core subjects. We have offered a wide range of classes from Biology to Physiology, History and Language Arts. We have met a lot of new families and it has been a great privilege personally for me. But I also know that there is a time and a season for everything and our time as this type of Co-op has come to an end.
But where one door closes another opens and we will kicking off our newest Legacy Homeschool Co-Op on Thursday 1/26/2012 at 9:00 am. Here us just a sneak preview of what is happening!
The Great Science Experience:
With the use of Handbook of Nature Study , (download your free copy) we will be exploring our great county and state! We will make our own plant presses, plant a garden, go bird watching, and learn about insects. On field trips, we plan on making plaster casts of animal tracks, learn to go camping, protecting the environment and so much more. Those who have an interest in photography can express themselves through photos and a scrap book. Artist, grab your own paint and pencils and capture what you see on paper. Authors, put your pen to the test! Describe what you see.
For those parents who want this to be a graded activity, you will need to come up with activities or writing assignments for our own kids. Suggestions will be available but we are not here to grade, we are here to teach and allow the students to engage in their environments, WHILE HAVING FUN!
We are also looking at adding in a history component to this group as well but I guess you will have to either keep watching for announcements here or you will need to come to our meeting on Thursday!
Be blessed!
