Our winter/spring semester of co-op started recently and we are enjoying participating again.

I signed up to teach geography to the 8-12 year old. This past week I decided to make things more hands-on and fun by creating some 3-D continents and having them identify several physical features with tasty treats. I made sugar cookie dough and cut out the continents. The kids worked in teams to mark the world's main features, like forests,deserts, mountains, etc.

Then we really enjoyed ourselves by eating our creations! We all had a good laugh as they asked for certain sections and walked around saying, "Mmmm! Antartica is delicious" and "You should try southern Asia!". One student, Evan, only wanted Japan. Maybe he was still full from lunch?

This is a picture of Mike, sitting next to his older friend Andrew, both of them working hard in anatomy class.

Why is there
an underline??? I didn't hit anything!!!! And now it changed to blue on my screen...argh!!

Sometimes blogger messes up when you go back and add something after you've already put in a photo. You can fix it by actually changing the html for your post. Great idea for the continents!

The continents were very yummy! I think it was a really neat idea. Look for it to be on my blog as my picture for the day soon.
I love the picture of Mike and Andrew. They look like they are concentrating so hard. Anatomy is Andrew's favorite class at co-op this round.
