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!
