This week, our co-op time together started with a service project. Arizona Community Church, our wonderful hosts, have an on-campus food bank. Our co-op came together to provide food to fill the food bank, and we were able to get a wonderful tour and hear of the many blessings this food bank provides to the community. Our history studies take us into the 1980's this week! This week was packed with fun things to learn and new insights to gain! The 1980's are defined by the presidency of Ronald Reagan, who defeated Jimmy Carter in 1980. But in addition to studying Reagan's presidency, the kids also learned about technological advances and space exploration. Older kids learned about the culture and history of the Middle East, where tensions remain high. The Five in a Row class read the book, "Very Last First Time." It's the story of Eva, an Inuit girl living in northern Canada. She goes searching for mussels along the bed of the sea, and this time, she is going down into the ice hole by herself for the very first time!
