Co-op in Review: November, 20, 2014

This week, our studies take us back to ancient Palestine, and the Israelites.  The Israelites, last we left them, were wandering in the desert, waiting to enter the Promised Land.  This week, they take the land that God had promised to them, under the leadership of their General, Joshua.  The Dialectic class completed their Ancient World Religions display boards this week, and wow, do they look great!  The Upper Grammar kids worked hard at creating salt maps of the Promised land--learning all of the major geographic features of the land.  The Lower Grammar kids made shofars, like the Israelite soldiers would have blown when the walls of Jericho came tumbling down.  The Five in a Row class read the Thanksgiving classic, "Cranberry Thanksgiving."  They then made beautiful candle and cranberry centerpieces for their family's Thanksgiving feast.
