Co-op in Review: March 27, 2014

This week, our Dialectic class started a three week long unit on Economics and Political Economic Systems.  The kids were introduced to the project they would be completing--they are each going to make an advertisement "selling" the rest of the class on a particular system of government--whether it be republic, monarchy or even anarchy!  Then the class was introduced to basic economics vocabulary by playing a fun and competitive vocabulary matching game!  The Upper Grammar class studied the space race--by sending their own homemade rockets into space.  Okay, it was just a few feet into the air, but it was fun and exciting!  The Lower Grammar class studied the countries and geography of South America.  Then they made Goucho belts, like the famous ones from Argentina!  And, the Five in a Row class read the book, "The Wild Horses at Sweetbriar."  Then the class made their own beautiful, wild horses!
