Co-op in Review: November 6, 2014

This week, our history classes learned about the earliest Greek cultures--the Mycenaeans and Minoans.  God gifted the Greeks to be uniquely inventive people who specialized in new ideas.  However, they did not know the Creator God of the universe, and used that inventive spirit to invent a world of Gods and Goddesses who interacted with people and nature constantly.  The kids also learned about the relationships of the Greeks with their neighbors and the famous war that resulted--the mythological Trojan War.  The Dialectic class continued with their World Religions projects, but the Grammar classes did activities and crafts in celebration of the Greeks.  The Upper Grammar class made Trojan horses out of shoe boxes and paper towel rolls.  The Lower Grammar classes used toilet paper rolls to create mythological Greek gods.  The Five in a Row class read the book, "Harold and the Purple Crayon."  Harold takes a walk at night, armed with only a purple crayon and creates a masterpiece landscape!  The kids made accordion books celebrating all things purple!
