Author study- Eric Carle

Tissue paper giraffe

We did an author study on Eric Carle for a couple of weeks in March.  I absolutely love him and so do the kids! We learned about where he grew up, how he became children's author and really talked a lot about his illustrations.  Maggie learned how he uses tissue paper for his illustrations.  We made a giraffe out of  painted tissue paper.  Hunt helped a little, too.  Her finished product is amazing!

March

 Visiting Bays Mountain Park

 Abby, Hayden, Maggie and me ready for the zipline

The highlight of March was our cousins and aunts coming to visit.  We had a blast- of course- and loved showing them all the fun things we have to do.  We hiked, enjoyed playgrounds, zip lined, and laughed a lot!! The pictures tell it all!
