Being involved in age-integrated homeschool co-ops for many years has been a blessing for my children and me. We have worked really hard to NOT imitate a traditional school setting in our co-op but to give it more of an extended family-type atmosphere.
One of my favorite things about Alaska is the igloo, or house of ice that Native Americans made to keep warm when they were on long hunts across the ice and snow. It’s hard for me to imagine keeping warm inside a house made of ice bricks, but it worked!
Book clubs are like a party with food, talking, and people who like each other. My children prefer them to book reports.
We gather together to celebrate Christian heroes from the past who have been world changers. We move from station to station to meet this year’s heroes, listen to their monologues, and play a game or do an activity. Everyone has a blast! One year, Lottie Moon arrived! Would you like to meet her?
