We are taking the girls to the zoo on Thursday morning. We are going to explore the Australia section of the zoo so the girls and I went to the library Sunday and checked out lots of books on Australian animals. We are having them read the books before we go so that they will know something about the animals they will be seeing. Today the girls read the books. As a project associated with what they learned they painted about what they read. They will draw a picture about what they read. And they will write a poem about the animals they read about. Here is what Julia learned and created
Tomorrow they will both write a summary paper on what they read today. We want to see what information they were able to retain after 24 hours. And then on Friday they will write a paper about what they saw at the zoo, what they're favorite part was, and if they learned anything new that they didn't learn in their books.
So happy to watch her big sis paint!

What a great idea and what budding little artists you have.
Those are great pictures.
