I am a little behind in posting, but here are some pics of the kids’ reindeer-related activities from monday:
Labeling a photo with the “parts of a reindeer:”

We watched a slide show and read about the history of reindeer in Alaska. Then Superboy read about how to make Eskimo Ice cream (hint: yuck!) while JBug did her copywork of “Reindeer words.”

Then it was time to have a cup of tea and, inspired by the Skull Alphabet Book, they started sketching the reindeer skull:

They both concentrated and worked so hard to make their pictures accurate…

and detailed…

Here is JBug’s finished product:

And here is Superboy’s:

I am so pleased with both of them!!! All that sketching in our nature journals is really paying off!
Not bad for a monday!

Not bad at all. You’ve organized an amazing learning environment in your dining room.
You have a couple of artists there! Those are great sketches!
They are both incredible artists.
You guys have all the fun!! Very cool
Great sketches, Theresa!
What fun! And the drawings are phenomenal.
Those sketchings are awesome! Great work!
