Ana's Artwork

 These are just a few of the best (in my opinion) of what Ana brought home.  I think they're pretty amazing for a first grader!

 The pictures with writing are from their journal.  They studied the seven continents and animals from each continent. 

 I think I'll frame this one and the swan!

What I love about the Oaks is that everything is well done.  The paintings are done on very nice paper that will be easy to keep And her journal is well bound.  She might run out of shelf space in her room before she leaves the Oaks!

The Oaks' Spring Fling

 The Spring Fling consists of a parade to show off your costume.  They are supposed to be a person or animal from a country you studied during the year.

 After seeing the costumes you go back to the room and do some recitations together.

 Ana won an award for her Chinese Dragon in art.

 I'm not sure how Chinese it looks, but I suppose it is creative!

Ana chose to wear her Indian costume.  We borrowed some bracelets from Shepherd and painted a henna design on her hand.  She was very pleased with how she looked.
