Following our great Christmas party, co-op classes went on as scheduled! In Upper Grammar, the kids learned about the Phoenicians. They were great sailors and constructed amazing boats. They founded colonies throughout the Mediterranean and as far out as the Atlantic. The Bible refers to them as Canaanites and the Israelites disobeyed God by failing to eliminate them. The kids then made awesome Phoenician boats out of clay! The Lower Grammar boys studied the life of David, focusing on the time before he became King of Israel. They learned about David's epic battle with Goliath, and how he demonstrated true faith. The boys then made cool sling shots, wisely using cotton balls instead of stones. They also made shields. The Lower Grammar class is ready for battle! In Five in a Row, the kids read the Tale of Peter Rabbit. They discussed Peter's disobedience and consequences for disobedience. We are not safe if we don't obey! They then made cute little bunnies out of white wash cloths!
