Week 2 is in the books! Co-op started as usual with lunch in the commons, playtime in the field and then we gathered as a large group in room 116. Mrs. Glazier was the large group teacher. We prayed, said the Pledge of Allegiance, had a brief time of review and then continued with our artist study, Mary Cassatt. The kids had fun trying to remember the details of her painting, "The Boating Party." Then we split the kids up into their "class" groups. The littlest kids, Before Five in a Row, learned all about bunnies. They read "The Little Rabbit" and "Busy Bunnies". They learned to act like bunnies, learned to care for bunnies and made cottonball bunnies. The older preschool class, Five in A Row, read a Winnie the Pooh story called "The One Which Pooh and Piglet Build a House for Eeyore" and created cool 3-D dioramas of Eeyore and his home. The Lower Grammar boys learned about a wealthy philanthropist, Andrew Carnegie. They learned that the Bible warns us about loving money and they discussed ways to share money with others. Then they played a trivia game to earn money, set up a store and the boys were able to shop for items that would be useful to their families. The Upper Grammar kids compared and contrasted three influential wealthy Americans, Carnegie, Rockefeller and Morgan. Then they made beautiful beaded bookmarks and all brought in books to donate to charity.
