First Co-op of the Year

Our homeschool co-op is studying life science this year. Our first lesson was on seeds and roots. I didn’t get too many pictures, but I snapped a few.

We have 15 families in our group this year; with 25 elementary aged kids and about 16 preschoolers. It’s been fun to watch the group come together and we’re looking forward to what we learn this year and the friendships that are made.

And a random thing that we learned after the co-op meeting was that pinto beans that you buy at the grocery store will indeed sprout. We had soaked them overnight so that the kids could open them up easily to look inside the seed and Rosemary took the extra ones that had soaked and planted them in some soil. A few days later, they had sprouted. We were quite surprised.
