Co-op in Review: September 26, 2013

Play Ball!  Our grammar classes both studied the rise of baseball in America during the 1920's.  And, they learned all about one of the greatest to ever play the game--Babe Ruth.  Babe Ruth had a rough child hood, was difficult to control as a player but was the king of home runs and America loved him and filled stadiums to see him at the plate.  The Upper Grammar kids made awesome baseball plates, painted to look like baseballs.  The Lower Grammar kids painted baseball jerseys, just like the Yankees jersey that Babe Ruth would have worn.  The Dialectic class read all about the sensational Scopes Monkey Trial, where the teaching of evolution was on trial in Tennessee.  The kids worked on a reenactment of a scene from the trial and made evolution vs. creationism posters.  The Five in a Row class read the book, "Somewhere in the Ocean."  It's a counting story about ocean mothers and their babies!  The kids then made adorable octopi out of fun foam!
