Yesterday was the first day of co-op. First we had a speaker come from China. Her name was Tina. She taught one of my science classes and I made glow in the dark slime at a community ed class.
Next we had art class with Sandy and Val. First we read Sam's Lucky Money. Then we made paper dragons. I learned how to make an origami dog. Then I had Spanish class with Cristina. I learned how to say Como te llamas? It means What is your name? in Spanish. Then I replied, Me llamo Max. We did Red Light, Green Light, but we only ran in one spot. We ran in place. We did the colors in Spanish: rojo for red and verde for green. Two of the kids tricked us by saying rojo first.
Then for snack we had almond cookies, oranges, honey candy, and green tea for a drink. I learned how to use chopsticks. It's not that easy. I'm still getting the hang of it. Then we watched The Magic Paintbrush during snack.
After that, co-op was over. While the moms and dads were cleaning up, Kurt how to taught me how a little paper envelope out of origami. It was pretty easy. Then we watched Mr. Bean. The most funniest part was when he went on the static ball and his hair didn't stick up but he touched a paper and it stuck to him. He couldn't get it off so he handed it to a lady with a dress on and she took it and all of a sudden her dress flew up over her head so you could see her panties. That was the funniest part!

What I Like About Homeschooling
I like homeschooling because it's fun and I learn more. I get to have more break time. I like getting to play outside for a longer time. My favorite workbook would probably be Explode the Code or Singapore Math. It's fun, there's sentence-writing on the last page of every lesson, and I think I'm on lesson eight of Explode the Code 5 1/2. I like Singapore Math because on one of them there was robots and spaceships.
What I sometimes do on my break is take Minnie for a walk. Usually I take her up to the park fire hydrant.
I also like playing games a lot. I like playing Monopoly and Candyland. Mitchell especially likes Moose in the House. Sometimes we play Blokus at bedtime.
Sometimes when we get all of our school done if there's extra time we'll play outside. When we go sledding, some loaders came and dumped a lot of snow by the park so it makes the park hill even bigger. The teens made a couple courses and I like going down the one without the jump. We haven't gone down the jump yet. Mitchell wants to but I think he's a little scared. HE says he really wants to but I don't think that's a hundred percent true. I also especially like going down the slide into a big pile of snow.
Sometimes on break I will go down and do Legos. And if I get tired of doing that I will read out of a Judy Moody book.
I especially like when Mommy reads Narnia at nighttime for a bedtime story. We finished Little House on the Banks of Plum Creek on Monday, February 2.
In the summer on break time sometimes I will go biking up to the park fire hydrant and back. My record is seven times and I'm gonna try to get to ten. I also like going to New Ulm near the Fourth of July because last year Uncle Danny and Uncle Brian got us some party poppers, sparklers, and Black Cats.
I also like building snow forts when we play outside.
I like going to Mommy's music classes and doing tonal patterns and playing with the ball pit balls and parachute. Since our co-op hasn't started yet, I take going to Mommy's music class as a field trip. This co-op time we are going to be studying about different countries from around the world.
Sometimes on my break time in summer, if I'm lucky I'll catch a dragonfly.
