What kind of "learning activities" do you think would be enhanced by allying together as a group? Your ideas might be fantastic endeavors for the Albuquerque Homeschool Co-op!
Music-singing together or playing various instruments, Social Studies/community service type of endeavors (trash cleanup, elderly folks home visits, Home Economics-candy making lesson (I remember doing that in 5th grade, never will forget), Adopt a Median, Adopt a Park, Adopt a Garden, more later.
We just talked about this yesterday and decided our hs group is getting together once a week to do full immersion spanish with ME I'm envisioning we'll do a simple project and I'll only speak spanish the whole time. Our goal for later in the school year is to be able to take all of our little ones to a local mexican restaurant and have each one politely order their own meal and mind their table manners in spanish We're excited, I hope I can do this, my girls are 6, 7 and 9 and they understand some spanish but can't speak it (besides greetings, colors, numbers, etc). I was really sad last week when we visited my family in El Paso b/c they couldn't communicate with my grandmother. So yesterday my friend and I came up with that plan. My girls always talk about how wonderful it would be if our family were a missionary family and I think leaning spanish would be an awesome tool for sharing the gospel with the needy world! I'm just sad I dropped the ball all these years, but anyway on the brighter side, yesterday was our FIRST day of speaking ALL spanish ALL day. I hope we can continue this, English during school time and spanish the rest of the day.
