This week, our classes studied a variety of topics! The Lower Grammar class learned about the famous Klondike Gold Rush. Then they had fun panning for gold! The Upper Grammar class learned about the gold standard, catalog ordering of goods, and how magazines developed and flourished during this time. They also learned about some new styles of art that were becoming popular at the time, and they did an art project in the style of Paul Gauguin. The Dialectic class finished their study of wealthy captain of industry Andrew Carnegie and made duct tape wallets to help them keep track of all their money! The Rhetoric class learned about the plight of American farmers during the Gilded Age and the rise of the Populist party--which sought to help the farmers and the most disadvantaged in society. They then completed their presidential biography projects. The Five in a Row class read the book, "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom". They had fun with different alphabet games and activities while learning what happens when all of the letters crowd onto a coconut tree!
