Today was the first day of our ‘Roots and Wings Homeschool Co-op’. We are a small group of eight moms, with 20 children. We will be meeting every Monday for two hours, alternating moms serving as the teacher. The focus is on social enrichment and extracurricular activities.
Today, Sundy taught the kids a couple of songs during circle time. They made homemade journals and their own personal stamps (made from erasers). These journals will be used for next weeks activity (my turn) when we go on a ‘letterboxing’ hike.
(Letterboxing is an activity that combines the traditional treasure hunt , using rubber stamps and journals. It is an activity that can be for the whole family and letterboxes are planted all over the world. It is similar to geochaching, a hunt that requires a GPS system.)
(Special thanks to Linda for being my photographer until I get a camera…)
Circle Time
Here I am carving out a pattern on an eraser. Hey, forewarning…if you are carving out a stamp that has letters, make sure you carve the latters backwards!!!

After school, I took the boys to Target for clothes. I realized they don’t have any long sleeves shirts! After that, we did a Trader Joe’s run, then swim lessons.
What does a Stay at home mom do all day anyway?!?! 
It's great the way you have kids all the same age in your co-op! Looks like lots of fun!
Looks like a great day. We have never been letter boxing but love to geocache! Let us know how it goes 🙂
Fantastic co op experience. It really helps to share these duties. We did this when N was younger, I feel like E is missing out.
