Co-op in Review: October 2, 2014

This was our last week of co-op before Fall Break.  This week, the Israelites are still wandering in the wilderness, as a punishment for their disobedience.  During this time of wandering, our classes have learned more about the Jewish holidays and feasts.  The Dialectic/Rhetoric class had a special guest speaker this week, Mr. Joe Simon.  Mr. Simon is a practicing Jew, and he loves to talk to others about his faith.  The kids had a very respectful and informative discussion with him this week!  The Upper Grammar class completed their models of the tabernacle.  They look great!  The Lower Grammar class learned more about Moses and the Exodus.  They made awesome models of the Red Sea, including the Israelites who crossed it!  The Five in a Row kids read the book, "Andy and the Lion."  It's the retelling of the old tale of a boy who meets a lion and takes a splinter out of his paw--winning his friendship for life!  The kids then made adorable lion faces out of paper plates!
