Talk to me! Have you been part of a homeschool co-op?! Are you still?! Is it seasonal for you, too?!
🤗❤🤗❤🤗
FREEDOM! This is our first year of homeschool. Our oldest was in public school for K and 1st and our younger 3 are kindergarten age. Let me just say that the freedom I felt after taking our oldest out of public school is amazing. In this season I don’t believe or feel that a co-op is for us but hearing all of the great things that a co-op can be to a homeschool family is very helpful, so thank you! Like you, I also feel that God has something amazing in store. We just stepped out in faith because God spoke homeschool to us, and here we are full of joy and free as can be! ❤️
It has its place but not for us. I’ve been there and hear your heart! With multiple autoimmune diseases too I just can’t. ❤️ field trip or just park or fellowship time or once a month tea time with friends is enough for us.
I'm struggling over here! I love the idea of joining a homeschool co-op and am very interested in the classical method, but I don't know if it's worth it at the moment. My babies are only 4 & 7 and I feel like they aren't there yet :(
Nope never been a part of one. We wanted to do classical conversations but it’s expensive...
I am sitting here listening to you and this was me completely last summer! I felt drained after our day at co op and thought I would not join this year. I ended up joining again because i felt i wanted my kids to have the same interaction as all their friends and did not want them to feel left out...however I am completley regretting it and after praying much about it, by God's grace I will not join next year. I have 3 kiddos, kindergarten, 1st and 2nd grades.
We've done a few different coops over the years and I agree with everything you've said! Great experience, met wonderful families and my kids LOVED it, but it was an extra commitment and pressure. I've started a field trip coop. It is very, very laid back. We just post field trips on Meetup and families only RSVP if they're coming. No commitment. No fees unless the field trip requires it and then I collect the money right in front of the location right before walking in. (Almost every place gives us the school discounts if we make one payment). This has worked very well for us and we now have over 60 families in it. Enjoy your new freedom!
I’m glad I read your comment! A field trip coop is one I could get interested in starting!
Oh wow! A field trip co-op sounds AMAZING! What a fun idea! I would LOVE that! Thank you for sharing this!😍
My closest friends and I who are homeschooling are creating our own group. Super low key: field trips, play dates, hikes, and maybe some art and music or cultural fun or parties thrown in here and there. ✌🏻
Love this. Do you have a channel or instagram?
That is an incredible idea! ❤️
Lolz I dont think any homeschoolers are going to be asked "what about socialization? " this year. 😉 The thought of a weekly co op just exhausts me. I will consider one for highschool.
Hahahahahaha! OH MY GOODNESS! Your statement couldn't be more accurate! Hahaha! So, so true! 😂😍🤗
Haha I’ve been asked this so much *more* this year mostly by parents thinking about homeschooling because of COVID and I’m like “bruh, no one is doing the normal amount of socializing right now” 🤪
I've never been part of a co-op and honestly have not joined one for the reasons you stated for quiting. It would be a commitment and I know I would give it all my energy. Plus my kids are still very young (6,3,1) and I can't see it being worth the extra time it would take from our daily routine. Thank you for this. I feel confident enough to stand on schooling from home but yes the question gets asked a lot from outsiders.
We are new to homeschool. We are in Classical conversations and are loving it bc my kids are so social. These moms are keeping me sane ❤️
Yes when everything was canceled I was kinda relieved. Not pressure to be somewhere at a certain time. It's so freeing.
We have taken part in various homeschool coops throughout the years. Some are definitely more high maintenance than others. I appreciate your transparency in saying one of your reasons for joining was because without it you didn’t feel sure you were “doing enough” etc and you could explain to people that you were also in a coop. I think this helps us feel more “comfortable” when “defending ourselves” in public school circles or with family etc... I can say that was also part of my motive in years past, and I’m glad that we’ve been doing this long enough now to let that need for outside affirmation/“security” go! I also found we were doubling up on a lot of things we were already doing. At the end of the day, I think my kids get enough interaction from various activities they participate in/church etc, and I enjoy our school year so much more when I can pray, listen to Holy Spirit, think about my kiddos’ individual interests/abilities and then make choices based on those things that are right for US. ❤️🙌🏼🙌🏼
Oh mama! YES! Everything you said! 😍
I am so excited to see what God has in store for ALL us homeschool mamas this year! 💗 🙏
Yes! When the quarantine hit I was relieved that I finally get to breath. Our schedule is definitely changing this coming year because of it. 😉❤ Great encouragement friend. 😁
It took me 3 years of trying to realize it was pointless.
I have only homeschooled for a year so far, but I didn't want to feel tied to a schedule and have to get things done by a certain time. I can imagine it feels freeing! ✈️
That is a wise choice, mama! Take it one season at a time! 😍🤗
I am right there with you on this one! Co-op is seasonal for us and right now we are NOT in a season of co-op. When it drains me instead of filling me up, it has to go!
YES! All the way! We have enjoyed it so much...but this season, I just can't! Things feel so different! And our friends....we play with them whether we are involved in co-op or not! 😍🤗 Probably more so when we aren't! Lol!
I think it’s great that you were able to identify that the coop right now just.isn’t.right. Leaving space for the best yes! Love it. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for your encouragement, mama! 😍🤗
Beautifully said, friend. Always hard to choose "best" over "good". With you in this! Seasons are just that...they come and go and may we be sensitive to what the Lord has for us in each transition. COMPLETE SURRENDER and reliance on Him ALONE! He is for us and is BETTER than anything we find false security in. Anticipation and expectation in His Work is exhilarating 🙌🙌
Thank you!!! We've tried co-ops and it always fails. We stop prioritizing our homeschool and get behind and then drop fun stuff at home and school becomes a burden. This year, NOPE. We will stay home Monday-friday so we can do all those fun, hands on projects and crafts to make school fun. And, they have neighborhood friends, and church, so I'm good with it. You're doing good and if you feel free, that's good!
WOW! This is what I'm struggling with right now! I LOVE our co-op, but like you, I was sooo happy when it ended early. I don't have the energy for it this year, but I also can't bring myself to cut the source of my kids friends. I don't know what to do! This was encouraging as I'm still trying to figure out what to do this year. Thank you!
I am so glad you fpund it encouraging! That is such a hard one...mama! We honestly play with our friend more when we are on breaks from co-op! We have more freedom to move throughout our week. It is crazy how that works! Pray about your decision, mama...and follow you heart! 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
I hear you. We've been involved in a co/op for two years and I loved some things about it and other things just aren't meshing with our family circumstance this season. I feel like they helped me get my homeschool sea legs, but I'm ready to run now!
We have really enjoyed co-op in the past. The co-op was a few hours weekly for 12 weeks, but it left me feeling drained. I definitely have used co-op as a buffer to help people accept that we homeschool. Like you, I would say, "We homeschool, BUT we also go to co-op". As if me educating my children wasn't enough. It is enough. Thank you for showing me that I am not alone in feeling like this.
We don't have a co-op close by here, and I've felt guilty for not being involved in one - but at the same time, I'm at peace about not being in one because it just sounds like a LOT and we homeschooled for a simpler life!
I love this! Thanks for your encouraging words. In the past, we’ve attended a university model school - private school 2 days a week, homeschool 3. We were hoping to join Classical Conversations in the fall, but because we have a “large” (ish) family we were having a hard time finding a local group with enough openings for all our kids. Then the whole world shut down so we took it as a final sign that this year we’re supposed to fly solo for now. I’ve already gained so much confidence while making our plans - it IS very freeing!
Thank you for your honest transparency. I loved what you said...that feeling when something was over you were relieved. That is always a sign to evaluate for me. :)
You are so welcome! Thank you for being here!
I found this video so refreshing! It confirmed a lot of things for me. I have three young kiddos and though I generally had a good experience at co-op, I felt like it drained me. I enjoyed it at the beginning of my homeschool experience, but next year is our 4th year and I am feeling more confident in myself. I feel more able to pick and choose our own curriculum snd set our own routines that are life-giving for our specific family. Giving up co-op will allow us to drop to a 4 day school week with the 5th day for nature study, meeting friends, or field trips. To me, those things fill us up more than co-op. We are also a family that loves being outdoors also, and my husband works a nice -traditional schedule so he is often around in the week. I hated dragging everybody to co-op when Daddy was home! Thank you again for sharing your heart.
Non-traditional*
This was so encouraging to me. We left CC 2 years ago because I had some medical issues and then very shortly after found out I was pregnant with a miracle baby. We had to stop, I felt so exhausted and burdened. We were more depleted than fulfilled. It has been a hard 2 years readjusting and figuring if I can do this alone. I too used it as a crutch. But I feel like this year I am ready to give it my all. Thank you ❤️
We have been apart of an awesome co-op that sounds similar to yours. We meet for 12 week semesters. The parents need to volunteer for jobs, but they usually have mentors lined up so we don't have to teach! We have been apart of it for 3 years now (since we started homeschooling). I have found a homeschooling mom tribe through this co op and my girls have flourished. My oldest has made some sweet friends and figured out some new things she's interested in such as art, theater and dance. My middle has come out of her shell and started talking to friends. But I have been so uneasy about this year. The biggest reason is covid and how unsettled things are. Some of the things you mentioned though as your reasoning are also things that resonate with me. I'm going to be praying about our co op. Part of me wants to hold on and just do one class, but even my oldest said "it's ok if we don't do co op this year." That is a big thing in my book. This extra time at home with Covid has been a blessing. We've been talking of moving for a couple years and she is finally open to the idea. Thanks for sharing this.
That is so wonderful that you have found a co-op and you all are flourishing! Rhays wonderful! My kids enjoyed co-op as well but this is just a different season for us! 🤗💕!
Have a great year, mama! 🤗🤗🤗
I agree with everything. I’m in the same boat you were probably in a year ago with co-op. So I think this year will be our last (Covid pending). When our co-op was shut down, I was also excited. I feel like I had so much more time and freedom... which is what homeschooling is suppose to give me. I love our co-op. It definitely has its time and place! I also was never homeschooled or been around it. Excited for you! Have fun this year!!!
Love this! We were part of various co-ops over the years and while we absolutely loved the fellowship and experiences they offered, I found myself dragging at the end of the day, and eventually dreading going for unexplained reasons. My best friend and I started our own last year, and haven't invited others to join us yet, because I think we both needed to step back and find a way to give our kids opportunities without the pressure. It has been amazing and I look forward to picking that back up with her this coming school year. Thanks for sharing your heart and experience. 💜
We are currently in a co-op but we had taken a break a few years ago. We only took a year off but I think I needed it. It definitely drains me so I make plans for that. I make sure dinner is easy, my kids and hubby know I have to come home and chill for the rest of the afternoon and I don't do any school work that day. What we do at co-op is plenty for the day. We have really loved co-op and it has helped me feel confident in teaching other people's kids. One thing I love about ours is we only meet the first 3 weeks of each month. I like to have the off weeks. Then when we go back I'm ready and refreshed. That has helped me a lot. And I love how the other families feel a lot like family to us. We are so supportive of each other and what goes on in our personal lives. It's a very special thing to be part of.
I also feel if you know you need a break you should take it. We have different seasons in life and our needs change.
We have been in different types of co-ops. We were in a country study one with 3 other families and met once a month. We alternated hosting and the hosting family picked the country. Then we all brought projects or lapbooks or coloring pages and food. We let each family decide how much or how little they did for the project. It was wonderful and great to have the dad's there too. We also were in a once a month co-op and that was fun. It was all fun classes like big class or Lego class or camping class or princess class. That was great too. And we have in the past been in a history one where we did very similar to the country study but it was in the day time.
That is so awesome! I would also love the 3 weeks on, one week off schedule! 😍🤗
I have been in co-ops off and on. I didn't do one last one but did find out some Awesome ladies at my church did a co-op. I joined the co-op that they do at our Church and I Love it. Other co-ops didn't work out for us but this new one is just what we needed. My kids already have tons of friends in the co-op. Ali Lewis
Ali, that is so great! Sounds like you found your home!!!🤗🤗🤗
Congratulations on making the right decision for your family! It can be hard and even scary to leave a co-op.
Thank you! It has been a very different season...in a good way! 😍
Thanks for sharing your heart! I love that you take it season by season and it’s so great that we can make those choices that are best for our family! Prayer group sounds amazing! I would love to be apart of something like that. We have done a co-op, but it’s been a different one every year for the past 4 years. For me, it fills me up- I love teaching the classes and my kids love being with their friends. I usually come home energized, tired, but energized. I’m excited to do the same co-op for a second year in a row and keep building those friendships.
Absolutely! We all go through seasons! I loved it, too and so did my kiddos. After 5 years...I am ready for a season of simple change!!!😍🤗
Enjoy your year, mama!
We made the exact same decision for the exact same reason last month. Like you, a HUGE weight was lifted. Of course the kids were disappointed, but they are so resilient and God does have something beautiful for us around the corner. So at peace with our decision!
Yayyyyy mama!!!!!!! You are amazing! I know it wasn't easy for you either..but God has something even better in store! 😍🤗🙏🙌💞
We quit CC this year after 2 years. I feel so free as well.
Yaaaa mama! 😍🤗🤗
Great video. We are about to start our 20th (gulp) year of homeschool. Our youngest, entering 7th grade, is our last child at home. I have had a love/not love relationship with co-ops over the years. I totally agree there are so many blessings associated with co-ops - it's comforting and reassuring to be part of a tribe or community!! We did half day co-op last year and are once again ducking out for this coming year. (Honestly, I'm not gambling needing to zoom all our co-op classes this year.). Also, I just LOVE having five full days of time here at home to spend anyway we want to! Co-op wasn't just attending....it was also preparing for it, which involved "stuffing" our regular curriculum into four days. My husband constantly pointed out to me that although I said I loved our co-op, I complained about gearing up for it for days before it happened. :-(. I didn't WANT to be grumpy about it, because I really did enjoy being with our friends there, but I constantly felt conflicted about it. I "love" it, but it feels like an imposition in my week???? I feel PERFECTLY okay about being "selfish" with my weeks....attending Bible study, scheduling playdates (hey look! Socialization!), and not having to add preparing for co-op to my daily schedule. YOU HAVE DONE A FINE THING. It's okay. You know what? I love them up until about 4th grade. After that, I love being here and simplifying. It feels SO GOOD and I don't miss the guilt one bit.
We have done all sorts of things as homeschoolers. All had benefits. Just gotta find what works best for your family; for you and for your kids. Spot on! My youngest is now at a homeschool "school" that is 2 full days a week in person; with a full academic workload (to do at home). We pay to send him and it is taught by wonderful teachers (all by homeschooling moms). It is not cheap but it is great experience for kids who want more of a school experience (with way more flexibility) & none of the government impositions. It is great. So happy we found it. 🙂
I never joined a co-op until my oldest son was high school age. It had its pros and cons. Then I found an afternoon co-op and that worked so much better than a full day traditional co-op.
I feel very encouraged listening to this. Thank you!!
I just quit a different social mommy group that I've been part of & on leadership for for 7 years & I totally feel the same way about having freedom & wings! The day I deleted myself from all their social media I felt like a ton of bricks was lifted off my shoulders! My kids are still younger so we are joining a co-op this year. I'm so excited because I feel like it's the community we need for this season. (& excited to have access to some more experienced homeschool moms & be able to ask questions & advice ❤)
I was waiting for you to belt into a song! "Let It Go"! 🎶
Yaaaaa gurrrrl! 😍😍😍
We were part of a homeschool coop when we first startled homeschooling. It was such a great resource and a way to connect with other homeschool families. We met in the morning and split up the teaching of classes, then all went to the park to eat lunch and the kids played. Last year we chose not to continue because a lot of my kid’s friends left and the teaching became to much for me. It was so sad to end and I really miss the amazing moms, but I love the freedom I have now to not be committed to anything.
Thanks for sharing!!! This will be our first year and we will be doing a co op this year, but I’m nervous about the commitment! These are great points thanks again for sharing!! You make me a lot less nervous for this new exciting adventure!
Our season of "co-op" or "community" as what we were doing calls it, is over as well. I was like you, drained. We met on Fridays. By the time it was over, it took me the rest of the weekend to "recover." I made a good friend but mostly I just saw the people there on community day. No talking really outside of it......I almost felt like I was "buying" friendship at times. They people weren't mean at all but I felt at times like I never "clicked" or "fit in." What is so funny is that is what my daughter says too. With 3 children & one being under 2, it was just too much.
Anxious to see this!! Getting ready to do our devotion together even as we speak...will have to check this out later🥰!
We participate in a small CoOp and my children love it. As mom I’d prefer to be home, but for this season we continue. 😊
Absolutely! We all have our seasons! My kids loved co-op too, but this season is a season of change for us! 😍🤗
Encouraging words. Thanks so much for sharing your heart.
💓💞💓💞
Our co-op wasn’t every week, it was every other week. I wouldn’t do it if it was every week! We Also don’t do any school work at home on those co-op days 😏
Every other week is a great idea!
I have learned if a co-op makes homeschooling easier for you and adds to your homeschooling than that great. But if it doesn't and is more of a burden than it is not the right choice.
YES!!!!
So happy for you! What a blessing to know you are right where you are supposed to be!
Yes! Thank you!
This is beautiful Jamie. Thank you for sharing your heart! I totally get what you mean. We live in Australia, and co-ops are not really around much here. There are homeschooling groups that catch up, but for fun activities not educational activities. We tried being part of one of these groups, but our season there was very short. And that is ok, because I want to be where God wants me, wants my family, to be. And if that is not part of a “homeschooling group” I’m good with that. I love your butterfly analogy 🦋🧡 so good!
Fly away do great things! Great video. I think I may have some of the same fears you had when you started co-op. We don’t have a co op but will be joining a Montessori charter That works with homeschoolers. Biggest reason is to feel my oldest social cup and a little bit for me. But it’s great you have recognized that you can decide that this just isn’t working right now and able to be confident in moving on. I’m sure you all will have great memories. It’s better to leave before the party ends😉😊. Looking forward to more of your videos.
We took a couple of years off from CC and it was such a needed time. We are ready to go back this year, but it was a great break and we got to pour into other things with out the obligation.
That's so great, mama! I am so glad you got that much needed rest and are ready to jump back in! We all need that every now and then! 💞
Sending you the best wishes from snowy Norway! 🤗😊 You are fantastic! Let us stay in touch more often!
I totally get it! I feel the same way. My kids love co op and I love all the parents there but I am just exhausted by the time it is done! Getting out of the house with 4 kids early in the morning is exhausting too. We get there and I am ready to leave right away because it is so much work so early! It is also a committment and we like to go do things and have extended weekends but with co op n Thursdays it is hard to do.
YES! It is such a blessing! There are so many seasons we go through in life, in ALL things! It is ok and totally normal! I want to use those seasons for good! I am excited to see what this year brings!
Exhausted just getting everyone out of the house in the early am...YES! Lol!
I go to prayer meeting every Tuesday. I agree. It is soo important. ❤️
We love our co-op, but there are days that just want to stay home. My son loves it though and he would really miss it if we didn’t go.
Yes! I understand! That is so great that you have found your co-op "home!" We love our co-op as well...but this season I just don't have as much to give in that department. I am feeling lead in other directions! My boys see their friends probably more when co-op is on break so it all works put for us! 😍🤗
I could have made this video. It is 100% my experience. I was one who had thought at one point, why isn't everyone in a co-op and then all of the sudden I wanted a break. My break didn't work out in the sense that I took the spring session off and then quarentine hit. We are still locked down as far as church goes in my state and so I am hopeful for those bible study mornings, but I am looking forward to less stress of preparing a class for others and one more day given to devote our homeschool. It doesn't mean forever for me either. But I just needed a breather!
YES, mama! All the way! Enjoy your season of fresh air!!! It totally does not mean forever. But... this season! Enjoy!!!!🤗💓
I don't need co op I need play club lol, just a meetup every other week or so and just snack and play. Give advice, encourage moms and move on. It's a lot to teach my kids without creating a lesson for a bunch of other kiddos. I'm new to this but that's what I feel like homeschool kiddos need. But I was also the mom who was not a fan of mom groups with too much of a plan 😬😬😬
Man we are on the same page this year. We quit co-op for next year too. When the break happened this year I too realized I dreaded it each week!
Thank you for sharing this.
I had planned on joining a co-op this coming year but with all this covid-19 hysteria there are already contingency plans being emailed out with plan A, B and C and I'm just not sure if its gonna be worth it this year... especially since we will be welcoming baby #7 this Dec and I know we were already gonna miss some due to that. We had been a part of a hybrid school the last 3 years and this will be our first year going solo, so I think I was kinda using co-op as a crutch... but this video speaks right to where my heart already is and we havent even started yet 😜. Thanks for sharing your heart! And I agree with the comments... your hair is goals 😘
Baby #7?! Oh my goodness! 😍😍😍How wonderful!!!! Congratulations!
I hear what you are saying about the plans due to covid...I hear you 100%! I hope you have a wonderful year homeschooling, mama! What a beautiful family you have! 🤗💕
Love your butterfly analogy! (I think the word you were looking for is “crutch” 😉).
I do love our homeschool co op, Ive met some of my best friends there, but I do not want to teach, so if that changes then things might change. It is a huge commitment. Your kids are your biggest ministry. You made the right choice. But I'm still new this is my 3rd year coming up. Sidenote: I am requesting a messy bun tutorial and this hairstyle tutorial!!!
Ha ha!! I was thinking I love Jamie’s hair here as well ☺️
A co-op where you don't have to teach?! Oh wow! Ya, in our co-op that is not an option every mom teaches one class and helps in another with 1 free hour. It is so beauriful but it adds such a level of pressure that I can't handle this year! 🤗💕 It is all a good thing...just a different season!
You girls are too sweet!!!!!🤗🤗🤗🤗
SIMPLY LIVING IT oh we have to teach! I’m just in the toddler room which is more like babysitting 🤣
Ohhhhhhh ok! Hahahahahaah!😂
Thank you for sharing! I'm so nervous about homeschooling for the first time with my 5 year old. I'm scared of the lack of socialization.
Mama! DO NOT BE AFRIAD! You have got this! For us, socialization has NOT been an issue but rather a myth about homeschoolong that I fell for in the beginning! You will find that your kiddo will thrive! If he needs more, you will find a way! 5 years old?! Oh how I miss that age! You've got this, mama! Does your kiddo have any other siblings?
@@SimplyLivingIt yes, he has a 12 and 18 year old brother. I'm thinking weekend play dates might do the job.
Yeah my husband keeps encouraging me to do a co-op to build relationships with other homeschoolers.
@@RyanPentico I really wish I could but I have to work full-time. There's a group for children that meets at church once a week. I figured I would try that and do play dates with his cousins.
Mrs Osorio I’m sorry I bet that is hard. I want to do more play dates but there aren’t a lot of homeschooler in my town. I struggle with connecting with people...
Wow! I agree completely
I don't have the energy to be part of something like a co-op. I just wish I could find a homeschool support group.
You need to do a hair tutorial; love your hair
You girls are too kind!!!😍🤗🤗🤗
Loved your video!
Random question..... where is your tank top from? Haha. I love the cut and fit of it.
Thanks mama! It is from Dick's Sporting Goods🤗
Thank you!! 😁 Love watching your videos. Thank you for being real!
🤗💓 I appreciate you!
So encouraging ☺
I was thinking about doing co-op but after this video I probably won't do it. My kids are 4 and 3 years old and are going into kindergarten/1st grade but they will not let me put them in their grades. They will be in their preschool class and it would bore them I think.
Oh that would be a bummer! Is there another option for you where they could join in with kids their own age?
@@SimplyLivingIt unfortunately not
Awww, that is a bummer! We don't have many options here around us, either.
What does your prayer group look like? 💛
Gotta do what's best for your family!
