Friday School

First Class Ministries has a local home school co-op with about 70 families called “Friday School”.  Several families that we know participate and really enjoy it, so I decided it was time to try it.  The girls love it!  The morning begins with a half-hour kids’ chapel service, and then three class periods.  Since Eva and Amanda are so young, they spend all three periods in the same classes: Toddler and Pre-K.  When they get older, they can choose a different class or subject for each period.  

 

All the parents are required to participate, so I spend the first period volunteering in an art class for 6 to 8-year-olds.  They’re so articulate and creative!  It’s a fun preview of what we have to look forward to when our girls get to be that age.  For second period I head to the nursery to nurse Bethany and hang out and snack with some of the other moms.  Third period I help out in Amanda’s Toddler class.  It works out perfectly, because that’s just before lunch, about the time when she’s starting to get tired and cranky.
