Big Bend Nature Explorers

This group follows AO's nature study rotation, and we meet bi-weekly at various locations in the Big Bend Florida area. This is a great group to get plugged into at any point in the year. Parents take turns teaching observations lesson, followed by nature journaling and a hike. All ages are welcome. Our group at this point is upper elementary and below but has slowly been aging up. We meet on alternating Mondays.

Cottage Co-op

Cottage Co-op is a riches co-op for students aged 6 to 12 years old.

Our Friday meetings begin with gathering all together as families for
our folk song and hymn, announcements, and benediction.

Forms 1 & 2 enjoy time in Collective learning about a classic poet, artist,
and composer. Forms 1 & 2 also alternate weekly between nature study
or handicrafts. Both forms then end their co-op day with a game time
devoted to play, listening skills, and folk dances.

A typical Kinderleben class spends the first portion playing outside
making mud pies, rolling around in leaves, and searching for the largest
worms. We come inside to read stories and poems, recite a bible verse,
and learn new fingerplays. We might play with wooden train tracks or
clay, or practice sewing before all working together to clean up.
