Brownsville Homeschool Association: June 2010

Monday--May 24th. It was a Happy & a Sad day. The kids (and teachers!) were looking forward to the break....but the sad part....we won't be together until next fall. Some are returning to public or private school, and some are getting their GED. We will miss seeing one another every Monday...but today was all about fun!

This was their idea!! It took several tries, and a few "base people" changes...but they got it down. Well done!

K-3 Class

4th-7th Class

High School Class

The High School class put on a few short skits for us. They did a great job, and the younger kids loved it. Well done!! Thanks for the time you guys put in. It was well worth it!

After the skits...we played some inside games as it was raining outside. The younger kids were playing "Swat the Bug" relay...it was fun!

We played tug of war.....in age appropriate groups of course!

When it got nice enough, we headed outside. Three legged races were fun.

Hmmm...is this cheating?

Lunchtime....

Free time after lunch....

As I watched these kids during free time...it wasn't only the big kids and the little kids in different groups. They were playing together. My heart swelled as I looked at them playing. I'm not sure you'd see this interaction in another setting. When 55 various aged kids come together, and a 5 year old can ask any Jr high or high school student for help in tying a shoe, to open something in their lunch, for comfort when they get hurt, or advice on how to do something...you know we have a good thing going here. Homeschool parents...you can be proud of these kids. I know we are--and we're going to miss them this summer.

See you at our August meeting...don't forget to watch the site for any summer updates we get (and send them if you get them!)--And don't miss the slide show below!

Have a SAFE & HAPPY SUMMER!!
