Week 5 Schedule

We are starting co-op this week, but I really do prefer park days - it is easier on me. Now that my schedule has been cut down, I want to add in music appreciation and a poetry tea time. I just don't know when we could work it in. I'll have to wait a couple of weeks until we get into the groove of co-op before I can even think of more changes. We are also two weeks away from studying Rome, but I think I will save Latin for the spring. I dropped my phone into the toilet last week. Amazingly, it still works, but the camera is dysfunctional. I am contemplating replacing it just so I can keep taking lots of pictures.
