Finally, moved on to alphabet "C" and did "A Pair of Red Clogs". It was a pretty engaging session as we looked at Japan. According to Sarah, the map of Japan resembles a slide:) We located it on the globe as well as Hong Kong because Hannah and her parents and grandparents are there too. Did a little imaginative playact with the kids bathrobes and pretended that they were kimonos. Did a simple coloring of kimonos and spent the rest of the time painting the wooden clogs with acrylic paint. Still a whole host of things to introduce for this study - Crafts, origami, introduction to Japanese Art, woodblock painting ...most of the ideas were gleaned by many others who have done this lapbook. Managed to reserve a Big Bird goes to Japan from the NLB. Looking forward to the rest of the lessons.
