Book Description
Beginning drawing and writing lessons for children ages five to ten. BOOK 4 focuses on the Polar Regions -- Arctic and Antarctic. The books are simple enough for a young child to do independently, but a teacher or parent may present the lessons. Each drawing lesson includes a colorful picture and step-by-step instructions, while the writing lesson includes four simple handwritten sentences. The teacher or parent may introduce letter formation or have the children copy the sentences for handwriting practice, or use the lessons as a springboard for creative writing or report writing. Developed by an elementary school teacher and co-authored by her daughter. A brief list of the 21 lessons in the book includes Blue Whale, auroras, Arctic people, polar bear, igloo, tundra, wolf, penguin, krill, scientists.
From the Publisher
Compare and contrast the two Polar Regions, then look at each in depth. Study the Arctic, "The Land of the Midnight Sun", while drawing walruses, polar bears, and people with sled dogs. Then, look at Earths most unusual continent, Antarctica, its unique animals and its scientists. The series won the Teachers' Choice Award and is a regular recipient of Practical Homeschooling Reader Awards.
