Co-op in Review: August 11, 2016

This week, all of our Tapestry classes overviewed the career of Napoleon Bonaparte.  They explored his invasions and military conquests and the battles he won and lost.  The Rhetoric class went even further as they analyzed his character and legacy, and the ways his life profoundly affected world history.  The Dialectic also discussed these topics, as well as constructed models of the Arc de Triomphe, which still stands in Paris today, as a monument to those who fought and died in the French Revolution and Napoleonic Wars.  The Lower Grammar class made awesome hats--just like the ones Napoleon is often photographed wearing!  The Upper Grammar class worked together to make display boards of different aspects of France--like climate, plant life, etc.  And, the Five in a Row class read the book, "Harry the Dirty Dog."  He's a white dog with black spots--until he stops bathing and then becomes a black dog with white spots!  The kids made an awesome Harry craft to show his amazing transformation!
