This week was the final week of the Dialectic class' election unit and the third and final week of our studies of South America. The Dialectic class worked on their campaign speeches, learned about the electoral college system and made campaign buttons with their slogans. They really have enjoyed this timely look at the American Political system--and can't wait for Election Night. The Upper Grammar class studied the geography and landscape of South America by making dioramas of the rainforest out of shoeboxes. They did a great job! The Lower Grammar class made rain sticks and "Keep Out" signs--which reminded them of the Monroe Doctrine--a doctrine that stands to day, keeping Europe out of the Americas. And, the Five in a Row kids read the book, " We're Going on a Bear Hunt." It's the classic tale of a father and his four children who journey through the great outdoors, and are finally chased home by a bear! The kids then made cute bear puppets out of paper bags.
