Remember the Alamo! That's what the kids read about and discussed in history this week. The Dialectic kids are in their second week of three studying the Alamo. They completed their coonskin caps this week, and they look mighty stylish when wearing them! The Upper Grammar class built Alamo replicas out of cereal boxes, craft sticks and paint. They had fun and were able to get a little creative! Meanwhile, the Lower Grammar class had a little bit of a different take on their Alamo construction. They made Alamo models out of marshmallows and frosting. Yummy!!! And, our little Five in A Row kids read the classic story, Blueberries for Sal. While picking blueberries, Little Sal joins up with a mother bear, thinking it's her own mother. While Little Bear follows along after Sal's mom, thinking that it is Mother Bear! Finally, the mix up is discovered and Little Sal and Little Bear each go home with their own mothers!! The kids did some blueberry tasting, made some graphs and went outside to do some fun bubble painting! Today was a very special day at our co-op because adorable little Josie Lee attended for the first time! Josie was born on October 5, 2012--so she started attending co-op at the ripe old age of three weeks! She found co-op to be a very relaxing experience. Welcome Josie, we're so happy to have you as a part of our Tapestry of the Desert family!!
