KONOS

What is KONOS?  Konos is what I would call a homeschool co-op so to speak.  Its a class that meets once a week - Nathan is going on Tuesdays when several other of his church friends are going and it works out very nicely for car pooling purposes as well.  They meet from 9am to 2:45pm.   In this co-op they are covering grammar, literature, writing, and some science and social studies.  I told a friend of mine it reminds me of college - where you go to class once a week and get all your assignments and turn them in the next week when you go back to class.  That is basically what it is - someone has written out what I need to cover with him and I do it.  I LOVE it and so does Nathan!!  They even send you home with a pacer sheet so I know what to cover on what days - now of course I can deviate and make up my own pacer as long as we do the the work that was asked of us.  If something is to hard or I don't think Nathan is ready for it - I get to determine what is best for him in that situation.  If I want to cover more in one subject than I do.  That is one of the things I love about KONOS - it is a partnership in education but ultimately I am still homeschooling him and as his mama I know best.   We cover Math on our own and I have chosen to use Teaching Textbooks - it is computer based and we both love it.  It's only been one week but I foresee sticking with it.  Here is Nathan hard at work on vocabulary.  He will say to me in the afternoons - I am so glad we homeschool - if I were in a school building I would still be working.  Yes son - you would.  Thankful you are home to enjoy your siblings, be a boy and explore the world.
