This past week Bing:
Went to a medieval tournament in Middle Island, N.Y.
Continued his lessons on Time4Learning.com
Had a two-hour fencing lesson (with other homeschoolers) in Rocky Point, N.Y.
Went to his Parkour gymnastics class
Had his piano lesson
Managed a moving crew in N.Y.C. (okay, with Dad's help!)
Finished the third Harry Potter book and scored 100 percent on an online quiz about it
Began reading "Four World Views" and wrote an essay on "Ideas"
Thanks to some local parents, we have started a homeschooling co-op. One day a week, a group of homeschoolers get together and are guided through a subject, like American Sign Language, Drama, Art, or Journalism (yeah, guess who's teaching that!).
Bing has signed up for Design Squad, a take on Robotics.

Because it's part of a co-op, it only costs $20 for four weeks.
However....
I am also considering signing him up for pottery (with the wheel and all) for $175 at Ross School, which is beginning its "Afternoons@Ross," a series of art and other classes open to the public. It's a large amount of money for us, but when else will he get a chance to throw pots?
Stay tuned!
