Co-op in Review: April 10, 2014

This week, we started co-op with a fabulous service project.  Each family brought in new pajamas and the kids made hugging hands to wrap around the PJ's.  The jammies will then be donated to kids in the foster care system in Arizona.  What an honor to serve the children of Arizona in this way!!  This was the third and final week of the Dialectic class' study of politics and economics and this was the day the kids debuted their commercials!  They all did a fantastic job and truly demonstrated an understanding of their topics.  Great job kids!  The Grammar classes both studied the NASA shuttle program and also talked about the tragedy of the Challenger explosion.  The Upper Grammar class made intricate shuttle models out of card stock while the Lower Grammar class made shuttle models out of paper towel tubes and egg cartons.  All of the shuttles looked great!  The Five in a Row class read the book, "The Bee Tree".  Bored Mary Ellen is taken on an adventure by her grandfather to look for a bee tree and learns that the best things in life are worth the hard work!  The kids then worked hard making beehives out of Honeycomb cereal!
