Co-op in Review: May 8, 2014

Our last co-op of the year!  Wow!  It's gone by fast and has been a great year!  This week, we finished the end of not just a year, but the end of four years of history study.  Our cycle started four years ago in Ancient Egypt and ended today with the presidency of Barack Obama.  The Dialectic kids were up for a unique challenge--this week, they learned how to knit!  Well, some did.  Some of them never really got the hang of it, but they all did their best!  The Upper Grammar class celebrated the world of technology by making iPod or iPad cases out of duct tape.  And, the Lower Grammar class made some truly creepy Barack Obama puppets out of paper bags.  The Five in a Row class read the book, "Grandfather's Journey."  It's a beautiful book that tells the story of a grandfather's immigration journey.  The kids then painted their own family "trees."
