This past session in our local co-op, my oldest two children studied World War II. The team of teachers did a wonderful job going all out to teach different events. They did so many more hands-on activities and learning than I would have had time to do if I taught this at home. I appreciated all the hard work those teachers did.
For their final projects, each student had to have a 1-2 page typed report, a project and then give a presentation to the whole co-op.
My daughter chose to study Corrie Ten Boom. She read at least 5 different books about Corrie. She was hooked on learning more about this courageous woman! I was proud of her because speaking in front of people was a new skill for her and she was very nervous. She did a good job!
My son chose to learn more about the Tuskegee Airmen.
His favorite part was creating his first model airplane. We found a model of the P-51 Mustang
He also did a good job on the presentation. I think this was a wonderful experience for the both of them.
