Co-op and Closing Program

Friday was our final day of co-op until January. I'm always relieved when it's over, and yet happy when it starts again! My drawing class students finished a project where they learned about complementary colors. They scratched off one color of oil pastel revealing a different color of wax crayon underneath. They turned out really fabulous!

In my colonial america class we dressed up as pilgrims and indians and had a Thanksgiving feast. We ate turkey, corn, pumpkin bread (which the children made last week!) and venison. The venison was pretty popular!



Later that evening we had our co-op closing program, where the students can display their work and classes have the opportunity to go on stage and tell what they learned. Here are some of my colonial america students talking about their favorite aspect of class.

I was so proud to display the artwork of my drawing students. They worked so hard!! Here is one of the scratch off projects that was just completed that day (can you tell it is a set of 3 insects?), and the next picture shows their first project which was a teddy bear picture done in charcoal.



Here is our display table for colonial america.



It was a fun day and I was very thankful that all of our children were well enough to participate! We are so thankful for co-op!
