Our last week of co-op for the year! Wow! It's been a great year and we've learned a lot. Now, it's time for Summer Vacation, but in a blink of an eye, it will be August and we'll be back together again! This week, our younger classes learned about some remarkable women: Hellen Keller and Marie Curie. They both overcame great odds to break through barriers to women during this time. The Upper Grammar class and Dialectic also learned about the history of Hawaii and American Imperialism during this time. The Upper Grammar class made volcanoes--like those in Hawaii. And, they also made traditional Hawaiian percussion instruments and learned how to play them in rhythm with each other. The Dialectic and Rhetoric classes spent time reviewing for their upcoming exams. The Rhetoric class also gave presentations to other classes about the presidents they studied in depth this unit. The Five in a Row class read the book, "One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish." After reading this classic counting and rhyming book by Dr. Seuss, they did some very fishy crafts and activities!
