Family Schooling: Our new co-op school and a Korean Festival

 We started classes at our new home school co-op this week. Miss L is taking ballet while the 3 oldest take an art class with a pro-art teacher. I am the assistant in that class so I was able to snap a couple of pictures. She gave them several drawing exercises and then asked them to sketch their dream house. Brother S drew his house under the sea with sharks around it. Brother M's house had a special room for spiders and bugs and a whole upstairs full of legos. 
 This is sister A explaining her house to the teacher (in the blue Hawaiian shirt).

The older kids are also doing a physics lab class.  They learned about space and are launching some kind of bottle rockets next week. 
 On Saturday we went to a big Korean Festival.  The best part were all the shows.  They played traditional Korean instruments and did traditional dances.  Miss L was mesmerized by the dancing and "princess" costumes.
 
  I loved seeing the older ladies all dolled up doing their graceful dances. I have seen them practicing similar dances at the rec center. It looks like good exercise.
They had stands with a variety of Korean foods and a booth explaining Korean culture.  Their were also a ton of vendors selling things. Hmart had a wheel you could spin to win free food from their grocery store chain.
