Europe

It's back to school after Spring Break! This week we studied Europe. We read two stories originating from Italy (Buried Treasure, Usborne Stories from Around the World) and the Netherlands (Little Fish, Kane Miller Books). The boys also got to see and handle little wooden shoes (our cultural item from Europe). They also got to learn about Georges Seurat and how he painted with dots (Pointillism). We did our own Pointillist artwork using qtips and primary colored paint.

Color-mixing (Kade worked on this for a long time, turning out colors like blue-violet, accurately, he just didn't name it that) Reading pink words
