We are doing Year 1 so we've been reading about ancient cultures including the Minoans and Mycenaeans of ancient Greece. For the 2 weeks before Christmas Break, we decided to tackle a papier mache project: the Minotaur head! The Minotaur was the legendary half man/half bull that was kept in the Labyrinth, a maze at Knossos in Crete. Even though our class is made up of mostly non-crafty boys, they loved this one, and the results were pretty impressive.

TOG Co-op : Papier Mache Minotaurs
I co-teach the Dialectic class ( middle school age ) in our TOG Co-op this year, and although we do mostly discussion and review through games such as BINGO and Jeopardy, we occasionally throw a craft in for fun.
