This is Sammie's co-op group. It was the idea of a couple of moms. I just happened to be called by the organizer and asked if I wanted to participate.
It is great. What we do is, pair up into 2-mom teams. There are 6 of us so it works out perfect. Then the 1st Thursday, the 1st team teaches all the kids for 2 hours. We revolve the theme around the ABC's. For example, this week was my week with my team member, Lynette. Our letter was E. So we started by calling out different words beginning with E and F (the letter from 2 weeks ago). The kids would guess what letter. Then we read a story (top left picture) about Elijah (E). We then did stations were they used different materials to make E's (top right picture). In the bottom picture we were talking about the senses, ie. eyes and ears (E) and letting them try to imagine what life would be like without the sense of sight. We gave them different objects and the tried to figure out what they were holding.
The nice part is the 2nd Thursday we go on a field trip (firestation, police station, etc.) and the weeks that I have off, I can just drop Sammie off at the other team's house and have 2 hours to myself!!! I love that!

Midnightscribe,
Thank you for your comment too! It's always good to get advice from someone who's been there.
My mother-in-law is one I get advice from a lot. She is 65 and filled with experience.
This is such an excellent group Jennifer, I am sure Samantha loves it too. According to the pics, she is right in there.
WE are looking forward seeing her. She gave me a whole list of things to bring. I asked her this morning where is Mommie, she told me you had gone to Daddie in the shop. She was looking after herself.I knew better of course!
Love you MOM
What a great group.
Mom,
Are you serious? She actually said she was looking after herself?
She is hilarious!
Lynne,
I bet Hudson and Evan would love something like that!
