Our coop did a 20th century unit study. Every class did a different decade. They studied the history of the decade, the President, things that became well known in those years, etc. My oldest studied 1900-1910 and my youngest had the 1990s. Here they are dressed up, the did a play last night where each class did skits for their decade. It was so good and then we had tables set up for each decade.

Here is my son's skit for 1900-1910.  He is sitting down, he is the immigrant worker.  The one who has to check in the immigrants coming in from Ellis Island.  This is the 3rd-4th graders. 

This was my other son's class.  They represented 1990-1999, So one of my children started the decade and the other finished it.  They are singing the Veggie Tales Song.  The writer of the play was our speaker who read all the intros and things that were happening in that particular decade (we even had video footage)  I love this line.  One small company had a BIG Idea and of course that was Veggies. And this happened in the 90's.  This was the 1st -2nd graders.  I dressed him like one of the kids from saved by the bell, I think he looks 90's, don't you?

The high schoolers danced in the 50's to dance around the clock. Poodle skirts and all, it was GREAT

 Here are some of the table displays.  This is 1900-10, we studied all the wonderful inventions and headlines of the decade.

 One of the assignments for the students was to do a newspaper headline of a major event.  My son's was Mckinley Shot, Teddy Roosevelt takes office.

 This is the 90's table, remember Furby?  They also did a web page in the back talking about the World Wide Web!

Some other classes of our coop this past year.  The Lego/Knex class.  My kids loved this class so much.  They had to build certain things and learn all about the mechanics of it all.

We did a unit study on weather and our younger children did weather lapbooks  One of these is my girls.  I taught this class and we had a lot of fun learning about weather together.

I was so proud to teach this class.  Goverment-it is a passion for me and I think I did a good job making it fun!  Not always easy for goverment.  We did this class first semester so we displayed them at open house too.  Every student was assigned an American symbol do a tri-fold board on and they could make the project too if they liked.  This one is my son's paper mache eagle.  I'm going to post pics soon of everyones.  They were so good, we had a clay liberty bell, a foam captial building, and much more.  The kids were so CREATIVE!

 We had a great time in coop this school year, looking forward to things to come in September.
