Co-op In Review: November 1, 2012

















This week, our Dialectic class completed their three week unit on the Alamo.  With their coon skin caps completed, this week they worked together as a class on a cardboard and craft stick Alamo model.  It turned out awesome and was a great tribute to the Texans who lost their lives and a great accomplishment for these kids who worked so well together!  The Upper Grammar class studied Victorian England.  And, these boys celebrated the Victorians by doing some handicrafts.  They each created a cross-stitch design, and did a great job!  The Lower Grammar class had a Victorian tea party and then made fragrant holiday pomanders out of cloves and oranges.  They smell delicious!  The Five in a Row kids loved reading the classic story, "Corduroy."  Corduroy lives in a department store and is lonely, until he is bought by a  young girl and learns the meaning of love and friendship.  He also gets a new button for his green overalls!  The kids played a button graphing game and made letters of the alphabet out of buttons!
