Fall Schedule

We’re still in the process of determining our fall schedule of classes.  It seems like 3 hours on Friday morning may work best for all, with optional afternoon classes for older kids.  The classes would be from 9 AM to 12 nooon on Fridays.  The subjects would be:  Composition, Spanish, and Science for all ages, with an additional Math Lab and History/Literature class for junior high / high school students.  Please leave any ideas / comments on the Class Schedule page.

Fall Classes

There is a new page with information on the classes we are considering for the fall.  Click on the page above entitled “Class Schedule” for information and comments.

Please continue to pray for Ezra Williams.  His open heart surgery is this coming Tuesday, June 2.

Updates

It seems as if we all enjoyed the art classes taught by Mrs. Donna Shortt.  Sherri is organizing a field trip to the Indianapolis Museum of Art on Friday, May 23rd.  It will include a free guided tour of the European gallery.  Let Sherri know if you’re interested in going.

We hope to have a mom’s meeting before June, and an opportunity to get together with Shani and Ewa to meet the new babies. Please let me know what day is good for you.

Please continue to pray for Ezra Williams, as he has his heart surgery coming up in early June.

Thanks to everyone for a great year in co-op! 

New Barnaby!

Jason & Ewa Barnaby had a baby girl last night (Sunday, March 16th) just before midnight.  Her name is Emilia Hannah, and she weighed in at 8 lbs. 10 oz.  We are so glad that they are all doing well!  Ewa’s Mom is here from Poland to help, so she won’t be needing meals.

Play and New Babies

On February 24, the Horizon Homeschool Co-op performed a Civil War play.  The kids all did a great job memorizing their lines, and speaking loudly.  To see pictures of the play, click on the Historical Plays page, and from there you can link to the photos.

Now we are on break for the month of March.  One of our families, the Williams, had a new baby last week, and the Barnabys, another family, are expecting a baby in March.  To learn more about the Williams’ baby, Ezra, click here.  We rejoice with these families at their new additions from the Lord.

Field Trip Page

Today I started a page about field trips.  I posted pictures from our most recent field trips.  Before 2006, the field trips included going to Spring Mill State Park’s pioneer village, visiting the Indianapolis Star Pullium Production Center, participating in Survive Alive (by the Indianapolis Fire Department), and going to the International Festival at the State Fairgrounds.  The girls in our co-op also enjoyed tea together at the Propylaeum in downtown Indianapolis.

We look forward to many more worthwhile field trips in and around our beautiful state of Indiana! If you have any recommendations for field trips, please let us know.

Today we added some resource files to a page accessible at the top and some helpful links off to the right.  Most all of the information comes from Ginger.  Have fun exploring!
