Here's Alex working on his first carving...
Clara took a slightly different approach to "carving"...
Alex suffers for his art.... lol...
Look! A rabbit! :-)
Here's my polar bear...
This is Clara's. She said that it's a Buddha from the Art Institute... but I think it's this guy from the Field Museum...
Alex did a second carving, a baby polar bear for the mother polar bear I carved...
We also read this book...
The Great Serum Race
This was a really amazing telling of the original race to get serum to the city of Nome. It is a picture book but the writing is amazing. It really kept me and the kids on the edge of our seats to hear what happened next. A really gripping tale.
Lance Mackey has made it to Nome so we're just looking for our mushers to make it in... but we still have lots of Alaska/Iditarod activities left to do so we'll keep on working on it all up until Spring Break and then, when we get back, we'll start a unit study on Hawaii!!! That way our trip at the end of April can be a week long field trip! :-)
