This past week at school, I read The Wild Christmas Reindeer by Jan Brett. If you haven't made it a part of your Christmas reading for your children, you should. It's a wonderful story with a sweet message about being gentle instead of bossy. We used it to analyze the main character, Teeka; found common and proper nouns in the text; did a logic exercise to line up the reindeer; and made an art project of a reindeer head. I told my class I'd show them my reindeer pictures so here is my way to easily do that. When I was uploading the pictures, I realized that I must have been enamored by the reindeer because I had a lot pictures of them! We were in a national forest in Ketchikan and while the boys were ziplining through the trees, the girls took a little forest tour. This animal spot also had a bald eagle and owl. The last picture in this set has info. on reindeer. Merry Christmas and Happy Reading!
I will look into that book :) Looks like a lot of fun!
ReplyDeleteAbout my husband ...He'd been very sick since September. He had just been diagnosed with thyroid issues (lost a lot of weight, shaking & tremors, etc.) AND then passed out twice in one night at 2 in the morning. He went by ambulance to a hospital and remained there for 4 days. He will be off work indefinitely for testing and treatments.
