The (newly named) Kickapoo Homeschool  Cooperative has been in the planning for several months.  Meeting announcements have been regularly posted here.  The planning has resulted in their decision to have 2 main components.  The following is their vision on moving the project forward:

On Tuesdays, we will have Farm Thyme, which consists of visiting a farm one week and then following up the next week with a classroom component that relates to the farm experience.  On Wednesdays, we will have the Learning Circle, which is a day of 4 classes.  Every semester the cooperative will vote on what these classes are.  However, for the first semester it seemed best to already have things in place.  So, for this fall we will begin with Yoga, World Cooking, Spanish, and leather/bead work.  We will also share sack lunch together, have recess, and end our day with games.

We will be hosting a booth at the Kickapoo Country Fair on July 28, so please feel free to stop by.  I will send out the brochure via email as soon as I have them.  It is so exciting to see this coming together!

[Please note we now have a School section on KickTime and all these school happenings can be located in one click (right hand column blue buttons.) So if you wonder about contact info/history of this project it can be located there, or here for the confused.]
