Fall Unit Study Finale

We have been enjoying our new co-op, and this past week we spent getting ready for the 1920s themed Celebration.  

Saveia and classmate Sarah.

Playing outside after co-op.

 Here's my go at 1920s flapper style (Zoey doesn't really count):

I had to highlight my turban.  I was so proud of that thing.  

The girls all entered photos in the co-op picture contest.  (The first Kodak picture contest was in 1929. Here's an interesting blog about it.)  Here are almost all of the photos that were entered.  They were all great: creative and fun.

One of the couples in the co-op had their ballroom dance teacher come teach us some Lindy Hop.  It was complicated for amateur dancers.  Owen graciously agreed to be a partner for his little sister.

 Summer won "Best Composition in Lower Grammar" for her portrait of Saveia at Deering High School, below.  I think it's super appropriate given that Summer was very specific about how to crop her photo for framing.

Saveia won "Best Portrait in Lower Grammar" for her portrait of Summer (the only photo she took-she was more interested in posing than photographing), to the right.

Olivia entered several photos in the contest.

And won Best in Show with her photo of Zoey, below.  

This photo was taken at the Central Square Baptist Church, which was built in the early 1900s.  Actually, I don't know if this is the photo that won best in show, but it's my favorite, and it bears a little resemblance to the 1929 Kodak winner.  So, I think it was the winner... ;)

Congrats to my girls!
