Settling Into a Routine

Another great week at EASTS Co-op!  I think our new families are fitting in beautifully, and everyone is settling into a routine and getting to know one another.  Some of our families even had a swim party on Saturday for some extra social time.  Luckily the pool was heated, because it was chilly outside!

Lord of the Rings literature class had a unit test, and although I haven't graded all of them yet, I am seeing improvement in scores compared to the last two tests.  Strength Training class started recording how much weight they are using and how many reps they are completing, so they can track their progress over the semester.  P.E. class played a fun Valentine's day version of tag, and Walking Club walked all the way to Five Points Plaza and back.  Math/Science games worked on 3-D shapes and their components (corners, sides, etc.).  Computer Hardware class took apart a hard drive to see how it works--and they learned that doing so renders it useless--while Make-It class made masks in honor of the Mardi Gras celebration that just passed.  The best part of the day, for me at least, was having a nice, hot lunch prepared by the Cooking class.  The lasagna was delicious, and it saved me from having to rush home to make lunch for my family!

See you on Thursday!
