SCHEDULE REVISED
After reviewing the Sing Song Latin curriculum for the youngest group, it has been decided not to do that class. It would be too confusing for the students since they are also trying to learn phonics and reading. We've tossed around a few ideas and the most popular idea is the "What's My Job?". Students would learn about a different job/community helper each week. This class would also open the door for the opportunity to have guest speakers and field trips.
The idea of making the Oregon Trails Simulations class into a two hour class is also under consideration. The teacher has suggested that a longer class time would make it easier to do more involved projects. Art would also be incorporated into the class so student would still have an opportunity to use their creative side. More on this later.

FALL SCHEDULE SET
We've set the fall schedule for 2012-2013. Not carved in stone but fairly solid. We'll be starting the highschool program up again with a Chemistry class that will also prep the students to take the CLEP if they so choose. Check out the "classes" page for more information.
REMINDER: The OCHEC Convention is the first weekend in May. Please make plans to attend. If you have never been before then you have no idea what you are missing. So much great information and resources for Moms AND for Dads. They even have classes for highschool students. You can check out the schedule at OCHEC.com.

ROBOTICS TEAM TAKES 3RD PLACE @ NATIONALS! ! ! !
The OKC Homeschool Robotics Team earned a spot to the B.E.S.T. National Competition in April. The team competed at the ESPN Center in Orlando Florida against the top teams in the Nation and Canada.
By the way, All three top spots went to Homeschool Teams. Awesome! ! !
OKC Homeschool Robotics is for 6th - 12th grade but there are several programs for younger students as well. SALT Co-op is investigating the possibility of having a Robotics class for the younger students. We would like to do either the Lego Mindsweep or the BottBall program. It's an exciting opportunity for our students. We'll keep you posted.
