It's time to PARTY! This week in co-op we started out with a party to celebrate the birth of Jesus! And, there's no better reason to have a party than that! The party started out with an ornament exchange, where the kids drew numbers and the picked ornaments off of a tree. Then, the kids had a Christmas-themed talent show. Kids played Christmas songs on the piano and did Christmas readings. Finally, sang "Happy Birthday" to Jesus and we had treats-cupcakes and awesome snowflakes made from tortillas! What a great party!! After our party, it was time to get serious and break into our individual classes. The Upper Grammar class learned more about the Reformation and how it spread throughout Europe. They made relief paintings, using yarn to create unique designs and texture. The Lower Grammar class celebrated Christmas, European style! The kids learned about St. Nicholas Day, which is celebrated in Europe, even today. The kids even set out their shoes and they to be filled with candy! They then made lovely poinsettia wreaths out of paper plates and construction paper.
