Co-op in Review: August 22, 2013

This week, our Tapestry kids studied the middle of World War I.  They learned about technological advances and developments in communication that took place in the war.  They also learned about some of the key, strategic battles of the war.  The Dialectic class continued with their World War I Unit Study.  They painted their awesome penny whistler planes that they made last week.  They also worked on their World War I file folders.  The Upper Grammar class got out their sewing needles to make awesome Garrison hats, like the soldiers would have worn in the war.  The Lower Grammar kids learned about the role of airships in the war and they made their own airships (or Zeppelins) out of paper plates, foil and boxes.  And, then they played a fun trench warfare simulation game.  The Five in a Row class read the book, "Miss Rumphius".  It's the story of a little girl who is encouraged by her grandfather to make the world a more beautiful place!  The kids then did their part to make the world beautiful by making wildflower seed pods and flower artwork.
