SCA February 2012

SCA stands for Sonshine Christian Academy, our home school co-op. We "rent" our curriculum for the school year through SCA and we get together with the other families twice a year for a joint school session. Our Feb/March sessions are particularly fun for the kids because we do swimming lessons! Each session we do L.A., math, P.E., music, art and a special unit. Our special unit this session was occupations/careers. Note some of the cool places we went to and special people we interviewed. 

The local bakery was exciting to visit with their huge mixers, kneading machine and extra large oven.  We got to see how they did some of their specialty breads shaped like turtles and lizards.

Uncle Doug talked about veterinarian work.  I think he had Nandry put the glove on before he told her what it was used for.  Ewwww. 

And among other things like the print shop, radio station and a visit from a physical therapist, the kids really enjoyed sitting in the SIL helicopter and learn a little bit about being a pilot.

 We couldn't get a decent picture during our family photo shoot at the end of the session banquet.  The kids dressed up to look like a professional in specific careers...can you guess what they are?

Asher was a stand up comedian.  Each kid had to recite something that they had memorized or perform on a musical instrument.  Asher told a few jokes about careers, his favorite was, "Why did the photographer get put in jail?"  "Because he shot people and blew them up!" 

Boaz was a dressed up as an undercover spy, bet you didn't recognize him with those glasses on.  Nandry, with her clipboard and pencil ready to jot down any fresh ideas, was playing the part of a fashion designer.
